Nikola, a startup company that makes electric and hydrogen-powered semi trucks, said in a tweet Friday morning that several of its trucks had been damaged in a fire at the company’s Phoenix, Arizona headquarters. “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 tweet said. A Nikola spokesperson reached by CNN said more information would be released as it became available. The first report of a fire was around 4:30 am MT, Phoenix Fire Department captain Todd Keller said. The trucks were among more than 30 stored at the headquarters facility, Keller said.
