Nikola One
In 2016, the company unveiled a high-level design of a hydrogen-fueled electric Class 8 truck called the Nikola One, aimed then to be in production in 2020. The Nikola One design includes a 320 kWh EV battery supplying 6 traction electric motors—one for each wheel—with a combined software-limited 1,000 hp (750 kW) and 2,000 lb·ft (2,700 N·m) of torque[18] – nearly 86,000 lb·ft (117,000 N·m) after gear reduction – inspired by electric locomotives.[19] This is sufficient for keeping a speed of 65 mph (105 km/h) with a full load of 80,000 pounds (36 tonnes) on a 6% grade.[15] The energy source is 300 kW[14] hydrogen fuel cells[20][21][22] consuming 4.6 kg (10 lb) H2 per 100 km (62 mi) from tanks with 100 kg (220 lb) of hydrogen, giving a range of 1,200 mi (1,900 km). Consumption is equivalent to 15.4 mpg of diesel.[15] The truck has regenerative brakes to supplement the traditional disc brakes, decreasing stopping distance and fuel usage.[19] The hydrogen version was unveiled in December 2016 and was expected to be available by 2019.[14][18][23] The company said[when?] that in some markets, compressed natural gas may be used to power an on-board gas turbine generator rather than hydrogen fuel cells.[20]
