Nikola, the electric truck manufacturer, has announced its filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, seeking to sell its assets after facing severe financial difficulties. The company has struggled with cash shortages, allegations of fraud, and the imprisonment of its former CEO. With $47 million in cash available, Nikola aims to navigate the bankruptcy process and address estimated liabilities ranging from $1 billion to $10 billion. The CEO, Steve Girsky, highlighted that despite efforts to stabilize the company, external market pressures made recovery unviable, presenting bankruptcy as the optimal solution.
Like other companies in the electric vehicle industry, we have faced various market and macroeconomic factors that have impacted our ability to operate.
Unfortunately, our very best efforts have not been enough to overcome these significant challenges, and the Board has determined that Chapter 11 represents the best possible path forward under the circumstances for the Company and its stakeholders.
