BREA, Calif., March 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via InvestorWire — Mullen Automotive, Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN) (“Mullen” or the “Company”), an emerging electric vehicle (“EV”) manufacturer, today announces Class 1 EV cargo vans were delivered to the University of North Carolina (“UNC Charlotte”) at Charlotte with the vehicle order fulfilled by Randy Marion Automotive Group.
