About Nikola

What is Nikola?

Copy link to section

Nikola is an electric vehicle manufacturer. It produces heavy-duty EVs, most notably trucks, that run on battery power. Alongside that, Nikola makes hydrogen fuel cells and develops the infrastructure to make it a realistic option to power commercial vehicles.

How does Nikola make money?

Copy link to section

It makes money from selling electric vehicles and from developing the infrastructure and charging systems to provide hydrogen fuel. These two revenue streams are split into two distinct business segments: truck and energy.

For now, truck sales are a crucial part of the business model. Over time, Nikola hopes to develop this so that it creates an overall ecosystem, where it provides the infrastructure for long-distance vehicles to charge up and operate over vast areas.
