"Our partnership with Voltera will bring substantial capital and expertise to support Nikola's plans to build refueling infrastructure to support its customers," says Nikola Energy President Carey Mendes. "Voltera's expertise in building out zero-emission infrastructure will be a key enabler for Nikola's first-to-market hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks and fueling infrastructure. Nikola and Voltera have a shared commitment to the rapid deployment of infrastructure which is key to enabling the transition to a zero-emission economy." 

Nikola and Voltera say this will create the largest North American open network of commercial hydrogen refueling stations. Voltera will site, build, own and operate the strategically located stations and Nikola will supply the hydrogen fuel and provide technical expertise. 

"Voltera's mission is to accelerate the adoption of zero-emission vehicles by taking on the complex and costly nature of developing the necessary infrastructure," says Voltera CEO Matt Horton. "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."
