NIKOLA'S ADVANTAGE:
BUNDLED FCEV OFFERING
SIGNIFICANTLY MORE ATTRACTIVE THAN DIESEL
THE INDUSTRY'S FIRST-EVER "BUNDLED PRICING"
- 7-year lease/700,000 miles
- Lease includes the cost of truck, hydrogen
fuel, repair, and maintenance
- Lease model eliminates payback period and
technology risk for customers, enabling more
rapid adoption

Traditional Diesel
TCO Volatility
Increasing cost of diesel operations due to
tightening emission standards reinforces Nikola's
bundled FCEV TCO advantage vs. traditional diesel
truck ownership
TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP CERTAINTY
Historically, diesel fuel has comprised anywhere from 40-60% of
total ownership costs. Nikola's Bundled Lease offers operators
complete cost predictability at cost parity with diesel
BETTER PERFORMANCE
Outperforms diesel and battery trucks in range, horsepower and
torque. Shorter recharge time than battery electric trucks
ENHANCED SAFETY
6x2 drive, torque vectoring, faster stopping, lower center of gravity
HYDROGEN SAFER THAN DIESEL
Lower vapor pressure, will not form combustible mixture with air,
harder to ignite, hydrogen dissipates into atmosphere
Extensive safety testing performed by third-party experts
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
Zero emissions and nearly silent. Hydrogen stations powered by
renewables
AUTONOMOUS READY
Enhanced autopilot, automatic braking, and automatic lane
keeping standard on each vehicle
