    gives the big rigs a range of just over 300 miles, which Toyota says is “about twice the average distance a truck of this kind can expect to travel in a single day,

    end qoute.

    Such BS. Actually its 600 to 1000 miles depending on how many hours you log the run.

    If it pisses water as exhaust then Cali should not suffer a drought anymore. /sarcasm.

    The entire idea of running any vehicle on hydrogen was discovered YEARS ago and put into practice. Odd that they are acting like this is brand new.

    Years ago the infrastructure wasn’t in place like it is now. I remember when Mitsubishi experimented with hydrogen fuel feasibility using a 3000GT sports car as a testbed.

    The Nikola One is supposed to get up to 750 miles and recharge in like 30 minutes. Supposedly coming out in 2021 or so.

    There was a gentleman in California who had a vehicle running and he passed away. Very odd as he wasn't sick or anything.

    Nice that we are getting to an era where these types of things are becoming more prevalent.

    I expect they mean those specific trucks as they will be operating in the LA area, primarily the ports. None of those trucks are seeing 600 to 1000 miles per day.

    From what I've read, the lease is like 5 grand a month, but it covers all fuel and maintenance expenses. And they are building a lot more fuel stands.
