Models



Nikola Zero


The prototype model, the Nikola Zero, is a Utility Task Vehicle,[3] with 72 or 107 kWh battery.[4][5] It has 555 hp combined from a motor at each wheel, weighs 3,500-lb, and uses the same 14.5″-clearance suspension as the Ford Raptor.[6] It has been spun-off into a powersports product, in the Nikola Powersports division.[7]



Nikola One


The company designed an electric Class 8 truck called the Nikola One, with a 320 kWh EV battery supplying 6 traction electric motors with a combined software-limited 1,000 hp (750 kW) and 2,000 lb⋅ft (2,700 N⋅m) of torque[8] (nearly 86,000 lb⋅ft (117,000 N⋅m) after gear reduction), inspired by electric locomotives.[9] This is sufficient for keeping a speed of 65 mph (105 km/h) with a full load of 80,000 pounds (36 tonnes) on a 6% grade.[5] The energy source is 300 kW[4]hydrogen fuel cells[10][11][12] consuming 4.6 kg (10 lb) H2 per 100 km (62 mi) from tanks with 100 kg (220 lb) of hydrogen, giving a range of 1,200 mi (1,900 km). Consumption is equivalent to 15.4 mpg of diesel.[5] The truck has regenerative brakes to supplement the traditional disc brakes, decreasing stopping distance and fuel usage.[9] The hydrogen version was unveiled in December 2016 and is expected to be available by 2019.[4][8][13] In some markets, compressed natural gas to power an on-board gas turbine generator may be used instead.[10]


The first 5,000 trucks are to be built by Fitzgerald in Byrdstown, Tennessee; the company is known for its "glider trucks", which are built without engines.[4]


On May 1, 2018 Nikola Motor Company filed a lawsuit against Tesla seeking $2 billion in damages alleging that the Tesla Semi infringes on several patents Nikola have been granted on the design of the Nikola One. Tesla has responded that the lawsuit is without merit.[14]


On May 3, 2018, Anheuser-Busch ordered up to 800 of the hydrogen-powered truck versions and Nikola claims the trucks will start being delivered in 2020.[15]



Nikola Two


The company has announced plans to build a hydrogen powered day cab called the Nikola Two,[13] with power and range estimates similar to those of the Nikola One.


The technical data cited above are claims the company has made but yet to be verified by independent tests.

Dulmage-Mendelsohn matrix decomposition in Python

Image
0 Matlab has a function called dmperm that computes the so-called Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition of a n x n matrix. From wikipedia, the Dulmage–Mendelsohn is a partition of the vertices of a bipartite graph into subsets, with the property that two adjacent vertices belong to the same subset if and only if they are paired with each other in a perfect matching of the graph. Looking both on scipy and numpy, I could not find this function, nor some similar version. Is it possible to implement it using basic linear algebra operations? Any idea if this is implemented in some Python package? python matlab linear-algebra graph-theory matrix-decomposition share | improve this question
