I think the $125k is about right. First the closest competitor off road and power wise would be the conversion AEV does to the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon called the Brute. They stretch it, put a pickup bed on it, add bigger axles and better suspension and oh yeah, drop a 6.4 Hemi in it. It will set you back $125k as well. Super powerful, high end, custom built off road machine. I'd love to see a head to head test of those two both off and on road.
Even if you reduced the Bollinger to just an electric version of a Gladiator Rubicon which starts at $50k msrp, costing 2 and 1/2 times more for more than 2 times the power, an adjustable ride height suspension, bigger tires, and a battery that I bet costs $40k all by itself.
