GM rethinks planned stake in electric vehicle maker Nikola
Read full article: GM rethinks planned stake in electric vehicle maker NikolaNEW YORK โ General Motors will not be taking a stake in the electric vehicle company Nikola, and the company said Monday that it was scuttling one of its marquee vehicles, an electric and hydrogen-powered pickup, after GM pulled technological support from the project. Nikola on Monday released updated terms between the companies for a supply agreement related to GM's fuel-cell system, replacing an agreement signed in September. That deal would have given GM an 11% stake in Nikola. He said the new memorandum of understanding will help Nikola produce its commercial trucks, and help GM commercialize its fuel cell technology. GM will still be part of a global supply agreement that would integrate GMโs Hydrotec fuel-cell system into Nikolaโs commercial semi-trucks.

Read full article: GM to make electric vehicle, supply batteries for NikolaGeneral Motors announced its second major electric vehicle partnership in less than a week on Tuesday, this time a $2 billion deal with startup Nikola. In exchange for the 10-year deal, GM will get a $2 billion worth of Nikola's newly-issued common stock that will come three increments through 2025. GM has been under pressure from Wall Street to more quickly monetize its electric vehicle technology, perhaps spinning off its EV unit as a separate company. GM has its own battery electric truck, a GMC Hummer, due to go on sale a year ahead of the Badger. GM also will get supply contracts for batteries and fuel cells and electric vehicle regulatory credits that can be used by GM to comply with fuel economy and pollution standards, or sold to other companies.
