Amid Elon Musk's Visit To Beijing For FSD Push, China Is Eyeing 'Economical' Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles As Next Alternative For Green
Pooja Rajkumari April 29, 2024

Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently wrapped up his visit to China, sparking speculation about the introduction of the full-self driving (FSD) system in the country. However, this visit comes at a time when China’s auto sector is focusing on hydrogen-powered vehicles with policymakers introducing various incentives and business applications to position China as a global leader in this clean energy source.

What Happened: Both central and local governments in China are rolling out a range of incentives to encourage the use of hydrogen-powered vehicles, South China Morning Post reported recently.

For example, Sichuan province is contemplating the removal of highway tolls for these vehicles and lifting restrictions on their access within the city. The province also plans to construct hydrogen refuelling stations and offer subsidies based on the standards of the charging stations.

Hydrogen, a carbon-neutral energy source, allows quick refuelling, making it an ideal choice for large commercial vehicles. Guotai Junan Securities analyst Pang Junwen pointed out that Sichuan’s initiative could make hydrogen-powered vehicles a cost-effective alternative to diesel-fuelled trucks.

Sinopec, China’s largest oil and gas producer, has constructed 11 hydrogen fuel supply centres and 128 hydrogen refuelling stations. Recognizing hydrogen energy as a new frontier for emerging technologies and industries, China, already a significant producer of electric vehicles and lithium batteries, is keen to explore this avenue further.

DNU, true, however, Nikola needs hydrogen refueling stations to be available now, regardless of ownership, in order to sell trucks. The trucks have an insatiable need for hydrogen supply, so once Nikola is able to sell thousands of trucks a year, and has funds, they'll be able to build their own refueling stations.

Nikola and FirstElement Fuel Forge 10-Year Strategic Partnership to Advance Hydrogen Fueling Infrastructure
FirstElement Fuel named authorized Fueling Solutions Partner for Nikola Class 8 hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks
Published December 20, 2023
https://nikolamotor.com/nikola-and-firstelement-fuel-forge-10-year-strategic-partnership-to-advance-hydrogen-fueling-infrastructure

Key quotes:

FEF is in the process of installing a number of hydrogen refueling stations capable of fast-filling for Class 8 trucks. This strategic initiative with Nikola will enable an acceleration of FEF’s commitment to building hydrogen infrastructure to serve transportation hubs in areas where clean solutions are imperative.

Nikola plans to develop a series of new hydrogen fueling locations under the brand name HYLA throughout Southern Calif. in the coming months followed by Northern Calif. to support the recent launch of the Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric truck. Supplementing these stations will be a network of hydrogen fueling solution partners that will create additional hydrogen fueling opportunities for Nikola customers. The combination of these hydrogen fueling options will help facilitate the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks and the decarbonization of transportation.

I find if you own shares and are a retail investor, you are against the RS cause you are going to loose big time.

If you don't own shares or very few,... You are for the RS cause you going to make money when you buy at the low.

How low will it go before the RS,... It seems like the company is not trying to keep the price up before the RS, ... That alone stinks!

what they are saying is that :
a) they need to have more shares to cover already committed convertible notes and employee option plans.
b) they dont need to sell shares immediately as they have c 12 months cash
c) They may need to access the market later in the year and have to have the ability to do so.

Most businesses once their O/S gets to 80% of the A/S will be looking at R/S options like Nikola did.

You are correct - my math was “fuzzy” on the magnitude of the officer’s bonus shares.


yes, pre R/S the officers shares are reduced as all A/S are.

However, with a proposed 1B A/S after a R/S the officers receive 130M shares out of the new A/S pool which has been “reduced” to “only” 1B. The share value initially will have increased by 10 - 30 times (not forty as I think I stated previously).

A 40/1 R/S effectively ultimately would increase Nikola officer’s share value x4.

?

So - you are suggesting NKLA is going to award officers ---- 100MM new post RS shares?

I did not see that in the materials but I only skimmed

but yes - it will be allowed - possilbe with the new much high authorized share count

not sure if it is always 4X -- or is that dependent on the actual ratio of the R/S

and do they - management - not get a loss exactly like us !!!! on all shares they hold already --- i.e. R/S is bad as it will decline - say 20% - just "because" post R/S. Do they - management - not suffer the same haircut?

they reduce the outstanding count
and indeed - have said the authorized count will drop to 1B

but with say a 1:10 reverse split - that means 1B is the same as 10B of the old - current shares - as a cap

they will have to issue shares is what they are saying

Air Products announces plans to build network of commercial-scale multi-modal H2 refueling stations
24 Apr 2024
https://h2-tech.com/news/2024/04-2024/air-products-announces-plans-to-build-network-of-commercial-scale-multi-modal-h-sub-2-sub-refueling-stations/

Air Products announced it intends to build a network of permanent, commercial-scale multi-modal H2 refueling stations stretching from Edmonton to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

“With abundant resources, tremendous talent, and forward-thinking governments, Canada is driving the clean energy transition forward,” said Seifi Ghasemi, Air Products’ Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Last year, Air Products announced our continued investment in Western Canada with the first permanent, commercial-scale H2 refueling station in Alberta. Today, we build on that commitment with plans to build additional commercial-scale multi-modal H2 refueling stations, developing a H2 highway connecting Alberta’s two largest cities and enabling the continued development of the region’s H2 ecosystem.”

The permanent, multi-modal H2 refueling stations will be equipped to serve heavy-duty vehicles, such as commercial and municipal trucks and buses, as well light-duty H2 fuel cell cars. The stations will be along the Queen Elizabeth II Highway that runs through Calgary and Edmonton, providing a fueling experience and speed that is similar to gasoline or diesel. This H2 infrastructure will help Western Canada reach a goal of 5,000 H2 or dual fuel vehicles on the road in five years.

“Each of our state-of-the-art, high-capacity, high-reliability stations will be able to fuel up to 200 heavy-duty trucks or 2,000 cars per day,” noted Rachel Smith, vice president and general manager, Air Products Canada. “In Canada, H2 is essential to decarbonizing transportation where heavy-duty vehicles travel long distances in extreme temperatures. We are excited to be activating Canada’s first H2 corridor here in Alberta.”

The first of Air Products’ permanent H2 refueling stations, located in Edmonton, near the site of the Company’s landmark net-zero H2 energy complex that is under construction, is scheduled to be onstream in 2025. Currently, Air Products has placed a temporary, H2 mobile fueler on the site that is supplying customers. The permanent Edmonton H2 refueling station is supported in part by $1 million (CAD) in funding from Natural Resources Canada’s Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program.

Hon. Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Canada, said, “The development and deployment of H2 presents an enormous economic and environmental opportunity for Canadians. The federal government is prepared to seize this opportunity, and today’s announcement by Air Products shows that Canadian companies and innovators are also continuing to lead the way on H2. I congratulate Air Products on today’s exciting announcement. Together, we will continue to establish Canada as a leading producer and supplier of H2 on our path to net-zero by 2050.”

Hon. Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta, said, “H2 is a fuel of the future and our government is fully on-board with efforts to pursue early adoption of H2 technology. I’m thrilled that Air Products is working toward development of a H2 highway between Edmonton and Calgary. This will help grow Alberta’s H2 ecosystem and spur on additional interest, investment, and progress in the H2 space.”

Hon. Dale Nally, Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction, said, “This is exciting news and a great leap forward in growing the use of H2 as a transportation fuel in Alberta. By adding H2 fueling infrastructure along Alberta’s busiest transportation corridor, Air Products is helping to clear the way for H2-powered vehicles as a viable clean alternative to EVs. Alberta’s government knows H2 has the potential to be a major source of clean energy here at home and around the world, and today’s announcement is helping to turn that vision into reality.”

Jim Wood, Mayor of Red Deer County, said, “Red Deer County takes pride in supporting trucking and logistics; we are excited that future trucks driving along the QE2 will have easy access to a clean alternative energy fuel source.”

Malcolm Bruce, CEO of Edmonton Global, said, "Air Products' bold initiative to build a network of multi-modal H2 refueling stations between the Edmonton region and Calgary marks a significant leap forward in Canada's clean energy journey and the 5,000 H2 Vehicle Challenge. Announcements like these will help us in reaching our goal of having 5,000 H2 or dual-fuel vehicles on the road in Western Canada in five years. By connecting our two largest cities with this H2 highway, we're not just fostering innovation; we're catalyzing a sustainable future. This investment underscores our shared commitment to advancing green technologies and propelling Alberta to the forefront of the H2 revolution. Canada's path to net-zero truly runs through the Edmonton region."

In addition, Air Products has a H2 mobile fueler at the Edmonton International Airport to provide H2 for the airport’s fleet of Toyota Mirai H2 fuel cell vehicles as well as a mobile fueler located on Aurum Road ready to serve the broader Edmonton market.

As the world’s largest supplier of H2, Air Products has hands-on operating experience with over 250 H2 fueling station projects in 20 countries and the company’s technologies are used in over 1.5 million fueling operations annually.

NKLA Stock: Nikola Chairman Doubles Down on Need for Reverse Stock Split
Nikola seeks a reverse split in order to focus on its business operations

Apr 11, 2024, 12:32 pm

- Shareholders will vote on a reverse stock split proposal at Nikola’s (NKLA) upcoming annual meeting.

- Nikola seeks to reverse split its shares in a ratio between 1-for-10 and 1-for-30.

- NKLA stock is currently trading below the pivotal $1 level.

Nikola (NASDAQ:NKLA) stock is plunging lower by more than 10% after the company filed a proxy statement to document the proposals at its upcoming annual meeting of stockholders. These proposals include a reverse stock split in a range between 1-for-10 and 1-for-30 and reducing authorized common stock to 1 billion from 1.6 billion. The date of the meeting has not yet been confirmed.

Nikola also seeks to increase the common stock available for issuance under the Nikola Corporation 2020 Stock Incentive Plan by 130 million shares. This proposal cannot be enacted unless the reverse split proposal is approved.

What?

If there is a R/S then they will also authorize a decrease in A/S to 1B from 1.6B.

BUT:

They are doing that decrease in A/S AFTER the R/S.

So, a decrease in everyone’s shares by 10/1 to 30/1 as well as total A/S.

Then there will be an increase in the A/S back to the “reduced” A/S of 1B.

Share holders percentage of Nikola is reduced greatly.

Then add in the 100+M shares out of the “reduced” new 1B shares for the Nikola officers.

At this point Nikola sells what’s left of the “reduced” new shares which further dilutes share holders portion of Nikola.
Because they will need cash for a bit longer.

So no, all things being equal, a R/S does not dilute, per se. Subsequently selling “new” shares does and it further magnifies the existing shareholders losses.

Of course management covered themselves when they added authorizing the 100M+ shares for themselves, after any new A/S.

Of course this might not occur.

RS does NOT affect authorized shares. That will stay at 1.6bn

Hmmm, fuzzy math. Please note the timing of the steps Nikola proposes.

Also, I stated Nikola proposes a 1 billion A/S: but that would be after a proposed reverse split.

So:

The Nikola float is currently 1.24B. (Out of 1.6B current)

A 10/1 RS brings the float to 124M.

Now Nikola proposes increasing the A/S to 1B (while saying they are “reducing” it). This occurs after the R/S - again after.

Then, after the R/S and the purportedly “reduced” 1B A/S, subtract 100M+ shares for Nikola officer compensation.

The dilution begins as the “new” A/S (in addition to the 124M plus 100+M) are sold to fund Nikola’s business as they will need to for until the hydrogen market grows and it reaches necessary production volumes.

A 40/1 R/S effectively ultimately would increase Nikola officer’s share value x4.

But we loose value as the stock falls before the RS. I doubt we will be $1 when it happens.... Most likely going down till it happens,... There's the rub!

If they could call for a RS , do it the next, then announce a slew of great news,... Yes,... But impossible to do.

And what happened to the 5 things Girsky said were more important than a future RS,... What were they and did they accomplish them?

The RS was announced a few weeks after Girsky said this.

they are in fact REDUCING the number of authorized shares(A/S) not issuing any (O/S)

They probably already are over the 1.6BN if you count all the shares promised in convertibles and in stock options to the board/officers

Hence the need to restructure the shares - a reverse split give them opportunity to reduce the authorized shares

they plan these things our months in advance - like they know they next 12 months cash or easily accessible funding on a rolling basis. I am assuming they cash for this year but may have to sell more shares in an ATM to get cash required for 2025. we will hear more at the earnings call.

R/S will not dilute and that is what they have said so far. it will guarantee Nasdaq listing and give access to cash if needed

The ownership structure of Nikola (NKLA) stock is a mix of institutional, retail and individual investors.

Approximately 21.81% of the company's stock is owned by Institutional Investors, 5.51% is owned by Insiders and 72.68% is owned by Public Companies and Individual Investors.

You are correct (I did not sleep at a Holiday Inn last night).

But after the R/S, Nikola also proposes offering an enormous number of new shares which, I believe, is where the dilution happens. Note they phrase the new shares as a “decrease” from 1.6 billion to “just” 1 billion.

Since our share count will have been considerably reduced, the proposed addition of up to a billion new shares dilutes our portion of the company (and T Milton’s) a lot.

Of course, correct me at any time.

how does a RS - alone - reduce the % of equity Trevor owns?

new shares - as NKLA went from 600MM to 1.3MM or whatever dilute role of TREVOR

but a reverse split of existing shares does not change % ownership e.g. 20:1 - if you had 20 shares and now 1 share - you have same % of the total number of shares - ownership

or do I miss something ?

Perhaps this possible reverse split was to block Trevor Milton from legally attacking Nikola. His shares have now been devalued and he has the risk of having them further massively devalued if a R/S were to occur were he and his group to start legal proceedings.

Notice the timing of his legal attack, the proposal of R/S and his immediate withdrawal of his legal attack.

I believe management knew exactly what they were doing when they announced the reverse split! This stock would be in the $1.50 range if they didn't make that announcement. They needed the stock price to tank so they could get a positive vote. The shorts and naked shorts are in total control of the stock price. If you still believe in this company then keep adding here, the stock will start to move up after the reverse split.

Hard to buy - if the odds are say 3:1 of a reverse split and then say a 20% "market adjustment down"

My guess - but with some reading along the way - is that NKLA management NOW does not own that much of the stock. Think of the 600MM shares or so that came from (?) debt converted to equity etc. I doubt management has even 100MM shares

I thought they make a "part" used by NKLA and Iveco in the current H trucks?

As a follow up to my previous posts, for context, current Nikola FCEV trucks have a hydrogen fuel tank capacity of 70 kg, and range of 500 miles. Thus, if the hydrogen refueling station has a refueling rate capacity of 100 kg H2 in 10 minutes, a next generation Nikola FCEV truck with a larger tank capacity of 100kg, could travel 715 miles and refuel in 10 minutes (conservatively assuming no advancements in fuel cell efficiency).

Do all the Institutional investors have to be on board to pass the R/S proposal or it can pass simply with the votes of NKLA management shares?

And if it needs the Inst. Investors votes,... Anyone here have any idea where they stand.

I just can't see the price moving up with the RS having come to the foreground.

Within the next six years, several thousand hydrogen filling stations are to go into operation worldwide, thus making an important contribution to the decarbonization of the mobility sector. To this end, Bosch Rexroth has developed a scalable portfolio of servo-hydraulic compressor drives in the power range between 10 and 280 kW together with partner companies from the hydrogen economy. A new cryogenic pump, for example, compresses liquid hydrogen directly to 875 bar, enabling the direct refueling of heavy-duty commercial vehicles within a few minutes.

Long service life and start-stop operation, high efficiency with low hydrogen losses and low operating costs: OEMs and operators are looking for solutions that can be implemented quickly and economically for the cost-effective operation of hydrogen filling stations. Based on its decades of experience in electrohydraulics, Bosch Rexroth has developed tailor-made solutions for a cost-effective hydrogen infrastructure together with partner companies.

To achieve this, the company relies on servo-hydraulic drive technology with a continuously adjustable hydrostatic transmission. The robust hydraulics achieve a long service life. Long-stroke, ATEX-certified compressor drive cylinders increase conveying rates through end-position-optimized control. The portfolio covers the power range between 10 and 280 kW and various applications.

New cryogenic pump: 100 kg of hydrogen can be filled up in 10 minutes

Bosch Rexroth is developing the new electrohydraulically driven cryogenic pump in partnership with FirstElement Fuel, the market leader for the commercial operation of hydrogen filling stations in the United States. With a connected load of 280 kW, it compresses liquid hydrogen to 875 bar for the direct refuelling of heavy trucks. The aim is to refuel the vehicles with 100 kg of hydrogen within 10 minutes. Direct refuelling eliminates the need for intermediate storage at petrol stations. The first filling stations will be equipped from 2025.

Bosch Rexroth also offers variants developed in collaboration with partner companies for medium and lower outputs. The 75 kW CytroCore compressor drive can be used for the compression of both liquid and gaseous hydrogen. In the lower power range of 10 kW, a ready-to-connect self-sufficient axle, CytroForce, drives the compressor cylinders. No specific hydraulics know-how is required for either solution.

Standard modules in hardware and software can be finely scaled

For optimum energy efficiency, Bosch Rexroth relies on the so-called positive displacement control. In contrast to throttle control, which is used in most industrial hydraulic systems, position and force control is implemented by means of servo-hydraulic pump control. This control concept reduces energy consumption by approx. 75%. In addition, the compressor drives require less than one square meter of floor space and are much quieter than conventional drive systems. After the one-time parameterization, they are immediately ready for use. They communicate with the control system of the hydrogen filling station via open interfaces. All modules continuously record operating data and thus create the conditions for systematic condition monitoring and predictive maintenance for maximum availability with the digital service CytroConnect.

Bosch Rexroth can configure the standard drives in its portfolio in hardware and software to suit specific applications, thus meeting the requirements of users precisely. The compressor drives simplify the system architecture and operability of hydrogen filling stations and are suitable for both established companies in the hydrogen economy and newcomers.
