Nikola Prepares The World'S Most Powerful Production-Ready Utv For Delivery Salt Lake City
SALT LAKE CITY. August 15, 2017,
Nikola (pronounced Neek-oh-la) Powersports has finalized the
specifications and design for the four-seater UTV dubbed the
"Nikola Zero." The Nikola Zero UTV is an all-electric, 400-volt
plug-in, offÂ-road and potentially street ready vehicle.
Dealerships can begin reserving production units starting in
January 2018.
Starting at $35,000, the UTV will come with two performance
options; 415 HP & 3,675 ‑. lbs. of torque and 555 HP & 4,900 ‑.
lbs. of torque. The UTV will also have three battery options:
75kWh, 100kWh and 125kWh, with the largest battery option giving
the Nikola Zero more battery storage than a Tesla P100D, at a
fraction of the price. The 125kWh battery package can deliver 200
miles of range in 4x4 offÂ-road mode.
"The Nikola Zero will be the first UTV
to come with optional Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS), stability
control, anti-roll-over, traction control and torque vectoring.
Normally these options are reserved for high-end sports cars and
not normally found in UTVs. We have worked hard to make these UTVs
street legal, and in many states, you may be able to drive the
Nikola Zero UTV to work," said Trevor Milton, Nikola's CEO.
"Once you test drive the Nikola Zero, you will want to trade in
your current UTV.
No other competitor UTV can match the Nikola Zero's performance. We
are not talking about a few seconds faster than the competition, we
are talking about laps faster, with speeds up to 0-60 in 3.9
seconds with four passengers inside," added Milton.
Standard features include: 100%
electric power steering, 20" front and rear suspension travel, 14"
ground clearance, 62" wide frame, four independent electric motors,
