Solar energy services provider Spruce Power Holding Corp. was assessed an $11 million penalty by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as part of a settlement addressing its predecessor’s alleged misleading of investors regarding its electric vehicle sales pipeline.
Spruce Power, based in Denver, was formerly known as XL Fleet, which provided hybrid electric vehicle systems for commercial fleet vehicles.
