Management Commentary

We are driving forward, capitalizing on our first-mover advantage with our hydrogen fuel cell electric truck and laying the foundation for the hydrogen highway starting in California, said Nikola CEO Steve Girsky. We think the competition is well behind us and believe there is white space for us to capture market share with the introduction of the Advanced Clean Fleets Rule, and incentives like HVIP and ISEF offering up to $288,000 and $408,000, respectively, per hydrogen fuel cell electric truck in California.

Outlook

Nikola Corp (NASDAQ:NKLA) continues to refocus its business model to ensure efficient allocation of resources. The company is also capitalizing on strong industry tailwinds promoting the adoption of zero-emissions vehicles. With the launch of the hydrogen fuel cell electric truck, the company is focused on ensuring it has adequate hydrogen supply and fueling solutions to support customer operations.

The company anticipates delivering battery-electric trucks to customers again in Q1 2024. The costs to Nikola for the recall and repair are expected to be approximately $61.8M, which includes the estimated cost to re-engineer, validate, and retrofit the battery-electric trucks that were previously sold with an alternative battery pack solution.
