Nikola's current framework does not take
into account several significant
opportunities for incremental upside
OTHER INCREMENTAL UPSIDE
OPPORTUNITIES
• Products to be produced in existing CNHI Iveco facilities and utilize its extensive distribution and service
network
• Planned start of BEV and FCEV Nikola Tre production in Europe from Q1 2022 and 2H 2023, respectively
Nikola's model assumes $0 residual value for FCEV trucks that are coming off lease
• After the initial 7 year, or 700,000 mile lease, there will likely be an opportunity to re-sale or re-lease
the asset to capture incremental upside
• Opportunity to recycle and refurbish certain components of Nikola's FCEV after one lease cycle which
could help drive down average BOM cost for Nikola's FCEV
- Nikola's vehicles are designed with a space claim for an autonomous driving hardware suite
• Our dedicated route customers, operating point-to-point, provides ideal testing environment for
development of autonomous driving technology
• Our commercial agreement with Anheuser-Busch ("AB"), allows Nikola to charge an additional rate per
mile driven autonomously
• PowerSports has a world-class management team that will operate with high degree of independence
• Nikola is pursuing a business model for PowerSports that will provide financial upside with minimal
capital outlay or management distraction (i.e. OEM partnership, JV, etc.)
Government Incentives for the manufacturing and production of zero-emissions vehicles and hydrogen
stations and clean energy not included in Nikola's model
• Customer Deposits-During initial production Nikola will likely require a significant deposit to secure
final customer orders prior to vehicle delivery
• Nikola Badger-Represents significant potential upside, but will only be produced via partnership with
third-party OEM thus ensuring minimal capital outlay or management distraction
