美國新創電動卡車製造商Nikola(NKLA.US)曾被譽為「卡車界特斯拉」,股價一度逼近100美元,但後來因利空環伺,股價一蹶不振。12月21日,Nikola同意支付1.25億美元罰款,與美國證券交易委員會(SEC)達成詐欺和解撤告。《華爾街日報》等外媒報導,Nikola 21日發新聞稿宣佈,已與SEC達成和解決議,於兩年內分5期支付1.25億美元的民事罰款,第一期在2021年底支付,其餘每半年支付一次,2023年全數繳清。2020年9月,Nikola公佈電動卡車實際上路的影片,讓外界看好Nikola將和特斯拉一較高下。然而,做空機構Hindenburg Research隨後發表報告,指控Nikola誇大技術,卡車事實上只是從斜坡高處往下滑。數天後,Nikola創辦人Trevor Milton亦在9月21日辭職,當天股價聞訊崩跌19.33%。Nikola遭到美國SEC和司法部調查,汽車大廠通用(GM)入股Nikola的計畫也因而告吹。經過15個月調查後,Nikola同意和解,但未承認或否認SEC的詐欺指控,僅表示很高興能解決此事,並將要求創辦人兼前執行長Milton賠償罰款及相關損失。
