Hi everyone. Welcome to Shift, the podcast about mobility. I'm Pete Bigelow, your host and reporter at the Automotive News. the coverage here at Automotive News. And today on the podcast we are bringing you one of the

hottest topics in mobility which is trucks believe it or not you know

electrified trucks fuel cell trucks and we have as our guests Mr Trevor

Milton that Trevor is the CEO of Nicola Motors. That is perfect I'm really

excited Leslie that he's our guest today. It's very timely

because I want to go see the new movie, The Current War, this weekend, which is

which is our Thanksgiving weekend.

Well, good luck with that, Pete, because I took a look

and I could not find it at any theaters anymore.

It was here so briefly, and I wanted to see it as well.

And for those of you who are not familiar with the movie, it has to do with the story of George

Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla against Thomas Edison in the whole battle of AC versus DC.

And a little intrigue there so I'm hoping we can still see that

movie without having to resort to the bootleg market. I'm dejected now.

Now suddenly my weekend plans have beyond the watching the Lions lose are suddenly changing.

But hopefully, Nicola trucks are around longer than the movie.

Let's hope so.

And what I think one of the things that I found interesting about this upcoming interview with Trevor is the relationship between Tesla and Nikola and Nikola and as you know they're named after

course all electric.
