What is Nikola and how did Trevor Milton start his hydrogen‑electric truck company?
In a lifetime of listening to stories about innocent people wrongly prosecuted, I have never heard anything. Like, what happened to Trevor Milton? You've gotta watch this.
You often hear the phrase miscarriage of justice and it's we had this Pretty amazing dinner last night where you explained exactly what happened to you. Um and the details are so shocking that I just want to start this by saying I'm really excited for people to hear exactly what happened to you because I think those of us who felt that, you know, this was the most just country in the world will ever heard. Our preconceptions. Um Adjusted. You had a vehicle company. Tell us about the company. What did it do? What did you started it? What was the product? How did it work?
Um yeah, so Nikola and Nikola was a company I built out of my basement. And uh a quick pause there just for everybody. By the way, Tucker's dinners are awesome. We don't
I don't make them.
We came here, you know, last night, had dinner with him first. It was a it was such an incredible time to just talk about anything. So thanks for having us for over for dinner. I loved it. And it allowed me to really get to know you too. So thanks. That was really cool. Thank you. Yeah. Um We so Nikola, Nikola was a company I built out of my basement. So a true entrepreneur story. Um, literally right out of my basement in my house in Salt Lake City is where we started it. Um, we grew it to the point where we are bursting at our seams inside of uh in our basement. And our whole goal was is to build a uh you know, a clean emission truck. And it kind of morphed through the time. Like we started off as like a natural gas truck.
truck and then we moved it to a to a hydrogen uh zero emission truck. When you say truck, like pickup truck.
A big semi truck. Big okay, so the trucks that haul goods across the country.
Cloud, yeah, exactly. The ones you see on the freeways hauling clout, you know, 80,000 pounds. That was our because it was the third, I think it was around the third largest polluting industry in America. So the whole point was is to reduce, you know, the amount of the emissions and noise. Um and it it was also the fact that electric powertrains are so efficient. I just loved them. I grew up on locomotives. My dad was uh managed the railroad when I was a kid. So I grew up on locomotives, and the whole idea was People may
not know that many locomotives are electric.
They they all are. All their their entire powertrain's electric. Uh they have a diesel generator that powers the electric motors, but you you n for the torque and the power you have to have uh the electric motors.
It's it's we we did a video last summer on the Cybertruck and we hauled eight thousand pounds of dirt in the thing. And if you ever hauled anything in a truck, you know you can feel the engine strain when you're in an electric vehicle. Yeah. And I'm pretty opposed to electric vehicles generally, but for hauling stuff, yeah. It's beyond. The difference is just crazy.
Th the one of the best parts is the is the ability to recapture all the energy. That's what I love the most about electric powertrains is that like when you go to hit your brakes, rather than wearing brake pads down, what happens is those motors go into go into reverse and they are able to absorb all that they become a generator and they start outputting. So say uh like the power the cyber trucks like 400. I don't know if it's a 400 or 800 volt p uh platform. I think it's four hundred volt.
What is a hydrogen motor and how does it work in Nikola’s trucks?
But anyways, what happens is instead Of using 400 volts, now you're charging 400 volts into your batteries. And so with big semi trucks, it makes a huge difference. So I live uh part of my life up in kind of the uh Utah, Wyoming area, and there's a part of these paths that goes from Park City down to Salt Lake. Yeah. Yeah. Imagine if you have an 800 or an 80,000 pound load, you're charging your battery all the way from the top of Park City all the way to the bottom. You're gonna have a battery that's 20, 30% charged more. when you get to the bottom. Just from braking.
