Nikola, ‘wife of fraud’, will she break down the front? “We will launch a year-end truck” … share price soared 14.5%

[데일리시사닷컴]Nikola, who was mired in controversy over suspected fraud, refutes the recently raised suspicion of fraud, showing the form of the law.

As a result, the stock price, which could not escape the drop every day, was up 14.5% on the 30th.

On the 30th, hydrogen electric vehicle maker Nikola announced a future plan that includes future goals such as the completion of the US plant, the vehicle prototype schedule, and the start of mass production.

Nicolas emphasized that the phasing out of gasoline cars is a global trend today and emphasized that “the company is developing green trucks, recreational vehicles (RVs) and hydrogen charging stations to meet the demand for green transportation solutions.” .

In particular, Nicola announced that it would complete the first phase of the production facility in Coolidge, Arizona, by the fourth quarter of next year. Later this year, after launching a truck prototype at the German plant, she emphasized that it will enter the mass production system in the second half of next year.

Nikola’s announcement that day was primarily about countering suspicions raised by Hindenberg Research, a short seller.

In particular, regarding criticism that it does not possess the core technology to produce hydrogen trucks, the allegations were denied by publishing a prototype truck launch schedule for the end of this year. In addition, they refuted media reports that discussions about the construction of a hydrogen charging station, which they had been negotiating with British energy companies, were halted.

In this regard, Nicolas CEO Mark Russell said: “We are confident that we will conclude negotiations to build a hydrogen charging station in cooperation with an energy partner by the end of this year and begin construction of the first charging station. of commercial hydrogen in the second quarter of next year. “

Meanwhile, Nicolás has delayed the launch of a new electric truck scheduled for December 3 due to the Corona 19 incident on the same day, and the controversy over the fraud allegations has not abated.

Nikola is justified in that it will be postponed to the point where the people involved in the hydrogen truck launch event can safely gather together, but he has yet to be drawn in by the suspicion of Nikola’s technology.
In addition, the sudden resignation of the company’s founder and chairman of the board, Trevor Milton, shortly after Nicolas’s suspicion of fraud emerged, he said.

Nikola’s share price rose 14.5%, recovering from the downtrend of the past thanks to this announcement.
