SEOUL (Reuters) - Nikola Corp on Friday warned of supply constraints of batteries, chips, touch screens and other parts.

During a conference call, Nikola said it has enough battery cells to achieve its plan to build 50-100 battery-electric Tre deliveries in 2021, but battery makers have yet to make commitment to next year's supplies.
