EV Truck Maker Nikola Yet To Return Many BEVs Recalled Last Year, Says CFO
Nikola initially began delivering battery electric trucks before its hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks. However, following a few fire incidents, the BEV trucks were subsequently recalled in August 2023. The company is now returning the recalled battery electric trucks to customers with improved battery packs, renamed BEV 2.0. Electric truck manufacturer Nikola Corp. (NASDAQ:NKLA) is yet to return several of the battery electric trucks it recalled in August last year, company CFO Tom Okray said on Thursday.
納斯達克上市的電動卡車製造商nikola公司（NASDAQ:NKLA）尚未歸還去年八月召回的幾輛電池電動卡車，公司首席財務官湯姆·奧克雷週四表示。
What Happened: While the company has returned 78 trucks that were part of the recall back to customers and dealers, it is yet to deliver another 81 trucks that were part of the recall, Okray said on the company's third-quarter earnings call on Thursday.
事件經過：儘管公司已將78輛召回的卡車返還給客戶和經銷商，但尚未交付另外81輛召回的卡車，奧克雷在公司的第三季度業績會上表示。
"I think the important point to repeat is approximately 150 in our inventory and another 81 as part of the recall. So, you put those together, you got approximately 230 trucks that we have optionality with," he said.
「我認爲重複的重要點是我們庫存中有大約150輛，另外81輛是召回的一部分。所以，把它們結合起來，我們有大約230輛卡車可供選擇，」他說。

nikola最初開始交付電池電動卡車，然後才是氫燃料電池電動卡車。然而，由於發生了幾起火災事件，BEV（電池電動卡車）隨後在2023年8月被召回。公司現在正在將已召回的電池電動卡車返還給客戶，並配備了改進的電池組，重新命名爲BEV 2.0。
Why It Matters: In February, Nikola said that the company is eyeing deliveries of at least 100 battery-electric trucks this year after fixing issues that led to multiple fire incidents last year. The company then also said that it would return all the recalled vehicles by the end of Q2 or Q3 but there has seemingly been a delay.
爲什麼重要：在二月份，nikola表示在修復導致去年發生多起火災事件的問題後，公司計劃至少交付100輛電池電動卡車。該公司隨後還表示將在Q2或Q3結束前返還所有召回的車輛，但似乎出現了延遲。
Nikola did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment on the reasons behind the delay.
