Nikola Corporation (Nasdaq: NKLA) entered the public markets through its business combination with VectoIQ Acquisition Corp, a blank-check company sponsored by VectoIQ LLC that completed its SPAC IPO in 2018. The merger closed in June 2020, making Nikola one of the higher-profile SPAC deals of that cycle targeting the zero-emission commercial transportation sector, specifically hydrogen-electric and battery-electric heavy trucks. The August 2019 10-Q filing predates the closing and reflects VectoIQ's pre-combination reporting obligations. Following the merger, NKLA has navigated substantial regulatory scrutiny and leadership changes while continuing to develop its commercial truck and energy infrastructure business.
