On today's heavy-duty episode of Quick Charge, we take a look at Nikola Motors' troubling finances, reliability problems with their hydrogen semi trucks, and an all-new, all-different electric Toyota cute-ute makes its debut. Will it be enough to take Toyota to the front?

On any other day a new Toyota crossover – and an electric one at that – would be the big news of the day, but massive deals on a new Toyota bZ4X and $1 billion investment in a new paint shop need to be acknowledged, as well. All that, plus big-time recycling news!
