Late last year, Nikola Motor started customer deliveries of its Tre battery-powered semi truck in California and announced several significant orders from fleet customers.

All this is obviously good news for the Phoenix, Arizona-based company, but the fact remains that the charging infrastructure for battery-powered medium-duty and heavy duty trucks is only beginning to develop.
