Things to Note
In September, Nikola announced the expansion of its dealer network into Canada for its Class 8 truck sales. The vehicle manufacturer is eligible for the Incentives for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles Program, which offers Canadian organizations in all provinces, territories and municipalities up to CAD200,000 in incentives toward the purchase or lease of the Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric truck and up to CAD150,000 in incentives toward the purchase or lease of the Nikola battery-electric truck.It is also eligible for the Clean BC Go Electric Rebates in the province of British Columbia, which offers CAD150,000 in incentives toward the purchase or lease of both the Nikola hydrogen fuel cell and battery-electric truck. Expansion of the dealer network, along with incentives, is likely to have bolstered NKLA’s third-quarter 2023 results.On the flip side, the vehicle manufacturer closed the battery production operations of Romeo Power, Inc. and is preparing to establish a battery pack line in Coolidge for its battery-electric trucks. During the second quarter of 2023, Nikola produced and delivered 33 and 45 trucks, respectively, down from 50 and 48 trucks in the corresponding quarter of 2022. With the halt in battery production operations, the decline in production trend is likely to have persisted in the quarter under review.
