Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA) stock is in the news Monday after the green fuel company opened its first hydrogen refueling station in Southern California.

Nikola’s newest location is designed to refuel Class 8 hydrogen trucks. The company notes that this facility can refuel up to 40 of these trucks per day. The company will also offer 24/7 support at the refueling station.

Investors will note that this is part of Nikola’s plan to open 60 of these refueling stations in the years to come. That includes having nine of them operating by the end of the second quarter of 2024. The company wants this to build on plans for the adoption of more hydrogen-powered vehicles.

Nikola President of Energy Ole Hoefelmann said this about the company’s hydrogen refueling station plans:

“Easing the transition to a zero-emission trucking future and prioritizing access to a hydrogen solution network is our top objective and we’re just getting started. Once the nine planned solutions are in place by mid-2024, Nikola will have established one of the world’s largest heavy-duty hydrogen refueling networks, providing customers accessibility at their current locations and along their planned routes.”
