Še nekaj. Nikola se ponaša z naslednjim velikopoteznim planom:

Nikola will produce its own hydrogen on site via electrolysis. Vertical integration reduces market uncertainties, allowing Nikola to control fuel prices and keep them low for Nikola customers.
By 2028, Nikola is planning on having more than 700 hydrogen stations across the USA and Canada. Each station is capable of 2,000 to 8,000 kgs of daily hydrogen production. Nikola’s European stations are planned to come online around 2022 and are projected to cover most of the European market by 2030.

Niti slučajno ni omenjeno, koliko elektrike bodo porabili za elektrolizo vsega tega vodika na več kot 700 mestih od kod in za koliko jo bodo dobili. Prav tako ni jasno, kako bodo prodajali tovornjake od leta 2022, kdo jih bo kupoval/uporabljal in kje, če bo mreža postavljena šele 2030. Ker tele Nikole uno-due-tre ne morejo laufati na kaj drugega kot vodik(ovo gorivo).

Kmalu bo eno leto od objave, da imajo dve vodikovi elektrolizi-polnilnici že postavljeni, ne najdem pa podatka kje sta in kaj početa med čakanjem na prve stranke z Nikolovimi tovornjaki.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT (November 15, 2017) -- Nikola Motor Company has chosen Nel ASA as the sole equipment supplier to create the largest hydrogen network in the world that will cover over 2,000 miles and include 16 stations. Nikola has already kicked off two of the 16 stations and 14 more will follow immediately after installation.

Evo, minilo je poldrugo leto in še malo, pa so o famoznem Nikoli pri Bloombergu objavili mnenjski članek, ki se ga splača prebrati. Zdaj bodo Nikoli lahko bolj gledali v zobe in pod prste, ker je menda od junija na borzi in mora biti zato biznisarsko bolj transparenten.

When Nikola Corp. started trading on Nasdaq in June, the Phoenix-based clean transportation company raced quickly to a valuation of almost $30 billion.
Its market worth has since fallen to a more reasonable $10.5 billion, but that’s still pretty spicy for a business yet to generate any revenue. Its most promising products are its heavy trucks, powered by electric batteries or hydrogen fuel cells.
At least Europe has a stake in the latest heavily hyped project. Founded by Trevor Milton, a 38-year-old American college dropout, Nikola is relying heavily on expertise from the old continent. Robert Bosch Gmbh, a German automotive supplier, has helped develop the U.S. company’s electric powertrain, and the first Nikola trucks will be built in a German factory belonging to Italy’s Iveco, a truck maker backed by the billionaire Agnelli family. Bosch and Iveco each own more than 6% of Nikola. CNH Industrial NV, Iveco’s parent, just recorded a $1.5 billion fair value gain on that investment.

Building a refueling network is a central part of its business model, but this won’t come cheap at $17 million for each hydrogen station. The company is also entering a competitive field populated by more experienced and better capitalized rivals. Daimler’s Mercedes-Benz failed to follow through on its early experiments with electric cars and let Tesla roar past. It probably won’t make the same mistake with trucks.
Daimler is the world’s largest truck maker and it plans to start production of its electric eActros and eCascadia models next year. The German giant has also formed a joint venture with Sweden’s Volvo AB to develop hydrogen fuel cell systems for heavy vehicles. That venture is valued by the companies at just 1.2 billion euros ($1.4 billion), putting the Nikola valuation into perspective.
