Nikola Corporation has announced that its Tre BEV Class 8 electric tractor has been deemed eligible for the New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program (NYTVIP), which means buyers now qualify for an incentive of up to $185,000 per truck.<\/p>\n

NYTVIP provides vouchers, or discounts, to fleets across New York State that purchase or lease medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission battery electric vehicles. With this approval, Nikola Tre BEV buyers<\/a> can benefit from the maximum incentive with a scrappage requirement.<\/p>\n

The program administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is designed to help make it easier for fleets to adopt zero-emission vehicle technologies by significantly reducing up front cost.<\/p>\n

Nikola is also registered in California as part of the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) program by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). The heavy-duty electric truck is eligible for an incentive of $120,000 per unit<\/a> for customers operating in the Golden State.<\/p>\n

“By qualifying for both California’s and New York’s incentive programs, Nikola is able make an impact on two major markets with high commercial traffic volume. Decarbonizing heavy-duty trucking and port operations is more likely to be accomplished, thanks to these accelerated zero-emission vehicle adoption programs that make clean transportation trucks a more desirable option for fleet owners.”<\/p>\n

Michael Erickson, Nikola’s Global Head, Strategic Business Planning<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Nikola Tre BEV<\/a> is expected to have the longest range among the current HVIP and NYTVIP eligible zero-emission Class 8 tractors. The company says the electric truck has a range of up to 350 miles (563 kilometers) from a 753-kWh battery pack.<\/p>\n

Charging the battery from 10% to 80% takes as little as 120 minutes using a DC fast charger at 240 kW with CCS1 or CCS2.\u00a0The Nikola<\/a> Tre BEV’s powertrain offers a maximum output of 480 kW (645 horsepower), which enables a top speed of 75 mph (120 km\/h). Its Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) is 82,000 pounds (37,194 kilograms).<\/p>\n

Nikola says the Tre’s cabover design makes it ideal for metro-regional applications because it has improved visibility and maneuverability compared to conventional, long nose trucks.<\/p>\n
