Nikola's Fuel Cell Electric Truck (FCEV) vs. Battery Electric Truck (BEV): Which One is Right for You?

? Nikola celebrated the commercial launch of a hydrogen fuel cell electric truck in Coolidge, Arizona, on September 28, 2023.

✅ In this post, I will review the technical specifications of the Nikola Fuel Cell Electric Truck (FCEV) and the Battery Electric Truck (BEV).

? 1) CAPABILITY + PERFORMANCE:

⏭️ 1.1) Range
FCEV = Up to 500 mi
BEV = Up to 330 mi

⏭️ 1.2) Gross combined weight rating
FCEV = GCWR: 82,000 lbs. 
BEV = GCWR: 82,000 lbs. 

⏭️ 1.3) GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING
FCEV = 52,000 lbs.
BEV = 49,500 lbs.

? 2) CHARGING:

FCEV → ≤ 20min

BEV → 90min

? 3) APPLICATION:

FCEV → For longer or continuous metro-regional applications

BEV → For short-haul metro-regional applications 

? 4) POWERTRAIN:

⏭️ 4.1) FCEV 
Continuous power = 536 HP / 400 kW
Instantaneous power = 773 HP / 575 kW 
Fuel cell power module = 200 kW 
Total capacity (2 pack) = 164 kWh  

⏭️ 4.2) BEV
Continuous power = 645 HP / 480 kW
Instantaneous power = 1,069 HP / 797 kW

? 5.) FCEV HYDROGEN SYSTEM:
Hydrogen storage capacity = 70 kG | 62.75 DGE
Storage pressure = 10,000 PSI / 700 bar

? 6) BEV BATTERY CAPACITY:
Total Battery Capacity (9 pack) = 733 kWh


? 7) HYLA HYDROGEN MOBILE FUELERS 

⏭️ 7.1) HYLA offer transitional fueling options through the HYLA Mobile Hydrogen Fueler, which helps Hydrogen Fuel Cell fleets shift from combustion engines to zero-emissions. HYLA mobile fuelers offer flexible fueling options before permanent infrastructure is installed, allowing early access to dispensing hydrogen. This inovative fueling solution can help businesses accelerate their transition to hydrogen fueling.
