Nikola, which announced its fuel cell-powered trucks two years ago, aims to begin selling them in 2021. The Nikola One is a highway cruiser with sleeper cab. The shorter-cab Nikola Two is designed for day trips.
Tesla asserts that Nikola’s claim is without merit. Tesla unveiled its Semi in November and says it will begin producing the highway hauled in 2019.
