The Nikola Badger, a New Fuel-Cell Pickup, Starts Preorders June 29

Nikola is mostly known for its fuel-cell-powered semi-trucks, but back in February, it shared the first details about the upcoming Badger pickup truck. The vehicle will join the already crowded world of electric trucks headed toward the market. But it has a twist. It's available as just a battery-electric vehicle or as a battery-electric fuel-cell vehicle. Preorders for the truck will be taken starting June 29.
The news was dropped by CEO Trevor Milton on Twitter. Also on June 29, the automaker will announce the date of its annual Nikola World event. In a marketing move reminiscent of Tesla, those who put a deposit down on a Badger will get first dibs on tickets for the event, where the pickup will make its world premiere.
Milton made sure to let his followers know that the pickup will not just sit on a stand. "You'll get to see a real operating truck, not a fake show truck. Expect stamped metal panels, functioning interior w/HVAC, 4x4, etc," Milton tweeted.
Pricing has not yet been announced, but we do know—because the company said so in its press release—that the Badger will be built in conjunction with another auto manufacturer, using their parts and facilities. Which automaker it will be, when that'll happen, and how much it'll cost are all still unknown.
