Nikola, Voltera to establish 50 hydrogen stations in North America
Both companies aim to create one of the largest open-network of commercial H2 stations for the region over the next five years.
Nikola Corporation and Voltera announced a definitive agreement to develop hydrogen refueling stations (HRS) to support the deployment of Nikola’s zero-emissions vehicles.
Through this strategic partnership, both companies plan to develop up to 50 HRS throughout North America over the next five years. This association builds upon Nikola’s previously announced plans to develop 60 stations by 2026.
This network of HRS will provide refueling services to vehicles from various manufacturers to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles. Voltera will site, build, own, and operate the strategically located, fit-for-purpose sites while Nikola will supply the hydrogen fuel and provide technical expertise.
“By partnering with Nikola, we are expanding our focus beyond battery-electric vehicle charging in order to dramatically increase hydrogen fueling infrastructure, reduce barriers for operators buying vehicles at scale to enable mass adoption of hydrogen trucks,” said Matt Horton, CEO of Voltera.
This partnership will also accelerate Voltera’s investment plans to support EV charging and hydrogen refueling facilities. Together, the firms look to develop a reliable and optimal refueling experience.
