EXPLANATORY NOTE



This Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10-K (this
 “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K of VectoIQ Acquisition Corp. for the year ended December 31, 2019
filed on March 6, 2020 (the “Original Filing”) for the sole purpose of (i) revising Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
to add a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting and (ii) amending Exhibits
31.1 and 31.2 to include certain certifications that were inadvertently not included in such Exhibits in the Original Filing.



In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment also includes currently dated certifications from the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.



No other changes have been made to the Original
Filing. This Amendment does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the original filing date, and does not modify
or update in any way the disclosures made in the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with
the Original Filing and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures



Disclosure Controls and Procedures



As of the end of our fiscal year ended December
31, 2019, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was carried out by our management, with the participation
of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded
that as of the end of that fiscal year, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in Securities Exchange Commission (the "Commission") rules and forms and (ii) accumulated
and communicated to the management of the registrant, including the CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.



It should also be noted that the CEO and
CFO believe that our disclosure controls and procedures provide a reasonable assurance that they are effective, they do not expect
that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control
system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
control system are met.



Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting



Our management is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal
control over financial reporting is a process used to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting
and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial
reporting includes policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are
being made only in accordance with the authorization of our board of directors and management; and provide reasonable assurance
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material
effect on our financial statements.



An internal control system over financial
reporting has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be
effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. However, these inherent limitations
are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design safeguards into the process to reduce,
though not fully eliminate, risk.



Our management assessed the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019. In making this assessment, our
management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in the
2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework (New Framework). Based on our management’s assessment and those criteria,
our management has determined that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2019.



This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not
include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm on our internal control over financial reporting due to
an exemption established by the JOBS Act for “emerging growth companies.”



Changes in internal controls over financial
reporting.



There were no changes
in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered
by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
