Nikola Motors unveiled its zero-emission hydrogen-powered electric semi-truck called the Nikola One, which aims to compete against the largest truck manufacturers in the world and fight climate change at the same time. Unveiled at the company's headquarters in Salt Lake City, the class 8 semi-truck will be powered by both lithium batteries and hydrogen fuel cells which generate over 1,000 horsepower and 2,000 ft-lbs of torque and enable the truck to travel up to 1,200 miles on a single charge. Leasing the Nikola One will cost customers between $5,000 and $7,000 per month for a 72 month term and includes unlimited hydrogen fuel at their network of stations. Nikola Motors have already received pre-orders worth $3 billion and plans to build a network of fuel stations across the US and Canada starting in January 2018.
