The torque is 980 ft / lbs, which would be just over 1,300 Nm. As for the engine, they say it reaches a peak of 906 horsepower with continuous operation at 455 horsepower. If only the battery is used, the range is about 300 miles. The Nikola Badger will be able to travel, according to the manufacturer, up to 600 miles in a combined fuel cell and battery electric mode. Much autonomy and many doubts to be resolved In any case, the 600 miles of autonomy they promise can be a great incentive to mitigate the absence of stations. Nikola hopes to build hydrogen filling stations in the next few years, although probably very focused on American areas, where this car is supposed to become more popular. Hit it? If it is difficult to create and expand the infrastructure for electric cars, even more so for those powered by hydrogen. In fact, the company’s CEO himself has admitted that have used the technology and experience of electric trucks to make (or rather come up with, because there is no real prototype yet) this Nikola Badger. This is something very similar to what they have been doing in recent years with their electric trucks, which also run on hydrogen fuel cells. In addition to this fuel cell, Nikola cautions that the pickup will also have an auxiliary battery powerful enough to start the car on its own. This, in very general lines, means that it has a rechargeable hydrogen tank that is converted into electricity to power the engine. Hydrogen fuel cell and collected experience of making trucksĪlthough it is true that it is an electric vehicle, it has the peculiarity of run on hydrogen fuel cell. But for now we have to settle for theory and computer prototypes. More than 900 peak horsepower and acceleration from 0 to 60 miles in 2.9 seconds make this pickup one of the most promising. Thanks to its hydrogen fuel cell it can reach 600 miles of autonomy in combination with the electric battery. Nikola Badger is the name given to this new pickup. The car promises 600 miles (about 1,000 km) of range and acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in less than three seconds, among other things. An alternative to the Tesla Cybertruck and other electric pickups such as those from Ford, General Motors or Rivan. Nikola Motor, a company that has focused in recent years on electric trucks, has presented its future electric pickup.
Tesla the alternative to the Tesla Cybertruck will have almost 1,000 km of autonomy
