Multiple electric trucks burnt at Nikola Motor Company’s Phoenix headquarters in what company claims

“Early this morning behind our Phoenix headquarters, a fire occurred which affected multiple battery electric trucks. No one has been injured. Foul play is suspected as a vehicle was seen in the area of the affected trucks just prior to the incident and an investigation is underway,” the company wrote on Twitter.

Only 63 Nikola Motors trucks were made total in the first three months of 2023, with 31 of those being delivered to dealers according to Reuters. Burning electric car batteries can be difficult to douse, as energy stored within can re-ignite new chemical fires even after an initial fire is snuffed out. As an electric vehicle heats up, it can also enter a “thermal runway,” which means it will maintain its own heat in a self-destructive loop.
