Nikola 2,000hp electric semi-truck

the idea is amazing. Though is sort of just an adaptation of diesel/electric locomotives.

Question is can they pull it off and do it in a timely manner.

Can't wait to see something that isn't just a rendering.

The two-year old company recently claimed that it would completely drop its plans for a battery-powered semi truck in favor of one that utilizes hydrogen.

Instead of using a 320-kWh battery pack and a fuel-agnostic turbine, the company is looking towards a custom-built hydrogen-electric 800V fuel cell. Nikola Motors also claims that its Nikola One will have a range of more than 1,200 miles between fill-ups and can get nearly 20 mpg, all while emitting zero emissions.

And so begins the downward spiral of bankruptcy.

Pretty sure this was going to be the end game anyways, but with Tesla planning on their own battery-powered semi, it might actually come to fruition.

so i guess they are gonna build them. still think it looks a lot longer than a standard diesel truck, to me it looks as long as some of the moving company semis with the huge sleepers.
