Our technology agnostic solution to achieve clean energy includes both the truck and the energy source – a complete solution. Delivering a complete solution is hard but it is the only way to transition to clean energy quickly and economically with the lowest risk to end users.
Electricity for battery-powered vehicles is available today. However, the ability to charge large batteries for commercial trucks still faces several challenges. Grid capacity, optimal recharging times, and infrastructure for effective operations are examples of complexities that remain. Our solution focuses on consulting you throughout the process and supporting the transition to permanent charging infrastructure with our mobile charging solutions.
The challenge with transitioning to clean energy at a large scale is about connecting supply with demand in the right location and with the right customers. Nikola has taken on this challenge to provide high-quality zero-emission trucks with access to the refueling source at a cost that is competitive to diesel. To achieve this clean energy state where both sides win, Nikola has developed an innovative, full-service lease program that covers the truck, the fuel, and the service.
