The hydrogen and fully electric truck manufacturer Nikola has opened on Tuesday the first commercial hydrogen refueling station in Ontario. The station was opened together with IT industries, Nikola‘s first Canadian dealer.

In March, the company inaugurated its first HYLA high-pressure refueling station in Southern California. The Nikola followed up with the opening of a second station in the region two months later.

The new station — which uses a 700-bar pressure-fill system — is located at ITD Industries’ headquarters in Ontario, near Highways 401, 427, and the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW).

Earlier this month, as the company continues expanding its infrastructure across U.S. and Canada, Nikola’s station located in California achieved a record day by refuelling 28 trucks and dispensing over 850 kg of hydrogen.

The Arizona-based company sold 72 units in the second quarter, bringing its total sales for the first half of the year to 112 units.

Trevor Milton, the founder and former CEO, has discreetly withdrawn his $1 billion lawsuit against several executives of the Arizona-based company.
