Nikola Corp. suspects “foul play” after an early-morning fire broke out at its Phoenix headquarters that affected several of its electric big rigs.

No one was injured in the blaze, the company said Friday in a tweet. An investigation is underway after a vehicle was seen in the area of the trucks prior to the incident, Nikola said.
