The project aims to create North America’s biggest network of hydrogen refueling stations for commercial vehicles, the companies said in an emailed statement. Virginia-based Voltera, created in 2022 with funding from Swedish investment firm EQT, will site, build, own and operate the stations using Nikola’s. Nikola will supply the hydrogen fuel and technical assistance. Nikola said the investment needed to build all 50 stations could reach $1 billion.
The deal could play a vital role in helping Nikola build up sales of the Tre hydrogen fuel cell trucks it plans to start producing later this year.

Voltera, which is building and opening charging stations for electric commercial vehicles, said it plans to deploy “several billion dollars” for EV charging and hydrogen fuel stations.
