Nikola announces Badger electric pickup set to compete with Rivian and Tesla
By RELAXNEWS | 13 February 2020PHOENIX: Nikola has announced the launch of its Badger electric pickup truck, a model said to generate over 900hp and have a range of almost 1,000km on a single charge.
Joining the ranks of Rivian, Tesla, and now GMC with the revival of the Hummer, the Badger is a model "designed to target and exceed every electric or petrol pickup in its class" and handle whatever needs a construction company could have for it.
Two versions of the model will be available: a fuel-cell electric or a battery-electric option.
In terms of power, the EV can generate up to 906hp and 1,329Nm of torque. From standstill, the Badger can sprint to 100kph in about 2.9 seconds and run for 965km on a single charge.
To cater for construction work, the model will be equipped with a 15kW outlet to power tools, lights, and compressors. Towing capacity measures at over 3,628kg.
The Badger will debut this September in Pheonix at Nikola World 2020, where prototypes will be available for select customers to test.
