Nikola Badger electric pick-up scrapped, GM distances itself from controversial start-up

The Nikola Badger all-electric pick-up – which was set to rival the Tesla Cybertruck, Hummer EV, and Rivian R1T – is now almost certain to be scrapped. In September, the Nikola brand shot to prominence when it signed a $2 billion (AU$2.7 billion) deal with US manufacturing giant General Motors to commence production of its zero-emission vehicles.
