Nikola’s hydrogen-powered trucks have made their way “to their new homes.”
This stage implies that the vehicles will be tested not only by Nikola’s engineers, but also by customers who will put these FCEVs through their paces in real-world scenarios. Given that these clients will do so in order to eventually purchase these trucks, they tend to be very critical of the new Tre FCEV.
Nikola promised to reveal more information about the trucks at a later date, most likely when their development is finished and they are ready to be sold. This is expected to occur by 2023.
Initially, Nikola would assist in the establishment of this infrastructure by utilizing PPA (Power Purchase Agreements) on major federal transmission lines. The plan was to buy cheap electricity when it was in short supply to power electrolyzers and decompose water into hydrogen. Nikola had even bought five alkaline electrolyzers from Nel ASA, each capable of producing 8 tons of hydrogen per day.
