Nikola might be the only one with some hope, they buy truck chassis from DAF and will install either hydrogen or electric engine in it. Most others have never built a car/truck before and tries to do it all from scratch.
The hydrogen engine seems cool. I don't know all the ins and outs yet, but my initial review impressed me.
Basically electric motors, but it burns hydrogen gas instead of carrying a huge flammable battery. The main issues is that hydrogen is very explosive, and not very rich in energy, but it is very clean when everything works, and could be useful in cities if it wasn't for the huge explosion risk.
Either way, by focusing on that part without having to worry about how to build the rest of the truck from scratch, they have a better chance of success. Personally I prefer diesel.
