Nikola, a Tesla competitor that is building fuel cell-powered semitrucks, has set an ambitious target to develop electric vehicle battery technology with an estimated range of 600 miles.

The truck will make its first public appearance at Nikola World at the company's Arizona headquarters in the fall and will be available as a fuel cell-electric or battery-electric vehicle.

I like it a lot better than the Tesla Cybertruck.

 

Plenty of plug in spots in Austin.

 

Very true, but when the 1st automobile hit the road, there were not millions(?) of gas stations on every corner either.

 

Well, I hope nobody put down a deposit...as expected, the Badger will never get produced!

Yeah screw Nikola! Shortly after I invested some cash, not too much luckily, there was the sandal with their founder and they've gone to shit ever since.

 

Looks like Headlights from the F150, grille from the ram.

 

Nikola will be a defunct company in short order. GM just backed out of their partnership deal this week, and the stock shares are able to be traded by management this week as well. They're going to cash out and leave a shell of a company not worth anything.

 

Nikola founder just got charged with 3 counts of securities fraud by US Attorneys office.
