🚛 Nikola Owner Alert

Whether you drive a classic Tre BEV and FCEV or a new model, if your rig grosses over 55,000 lbs, Uncle Sam wants his cut.

Nikola trucks are known for their durability and performance. But owning one of these beasts comes with responsibilities, including the annual Heavy Vehicle Use Tax (HVUT).

Determining Taxable Weight for Nikola

Remember, the tax is based on Taxable Gross Weight. This isn't just the weight of your Nikola cab. It includes:

  • The unloaded weight of the truck.
  • The unloaded weight of any trailer you pull.
  • The maximum load you customarily carry.

How to File

E-filing is the quickest way to get your Nikola back on the road with a valid Schedule 1.
