Charged EVs | Xos expands cell charging Hub lineup with three capability choices

Business EV and cell charging agency Hos has expanded its Hub lineup with three new capability choices to ship quick cell charging throughout Lessons 1-2 by way of to heavy-duty fleet operations.

The 210 kWh, 420 kWh and 630 kWh configurations are designed to make rapid-deployment charging infrastructure accessible to fleets of all sizes and obligation cycles.

The Hub platform is designed to allow easy installations to be accomplished in days, fairly than months or years. Conventional mounted charging infrastructure typically requires 6-18 months for utility interconnection and set up, Xos famous.

The entry-level 210 kWh Hub delivers an optimized, cost-effective answer for Class 1 and Class 2 car purposes, together with supply vans, service vehicles, and light-duty industrial fleets. The mannequin options two CCS1 charging heads which are NACS appropriate, offering versatile charging for a number of automobiles per deployment cycle. The Hub is designed to make cell charging economically viable for a broader vary of fleet operators who beforehand confronted prohibitive infrastructure prices.

The 420 kWh Hub represents a 50% capability improve over the earlier 280 kWh technology, enabling fleets to cost 15-20 industrial automobiles per cycle whereas sustaining the important sub-10,000 lb weight threshold. The unit stays towable by commonplace 3/4-ton pickup vehicles with out requiring a industrial driver’s license. The 420 kWh variant has 4 CCS1 charging heads and expanded cable configurations, delivering larger throughput whereas sustaining portability and ease of relocation.

The 630 kWh Hub configuration addresses medium-duty and heavy-duty electrical vehicles that require substantial power in the identical compact type issue as lower-capacity variants. This allows fleet operators to deploy most charging functionality in space-constrained environments, whereas sustaining full portability for seasonal or project-based operations.

For the most important fleet operations, the Hub’s modular design permits as much as 10 models to be related utilizing a single tie to the grid, offering complete capability exceeding 6 MWh. This scalable structure permits fleet operators to develop charging capability as their electrical fleet grows, whereas utilizing a single utility interconnection level to attenuate infrastructure prices and complexity.

All three Hub configurations will maintain UL 9540 A certification in 2026. When deployed as everlasting infrastructure, the Hub delivers DC quick charging functionality with out the necessity for trenching, electrical service upgrades, and prolonged allowing timelines.

Xos plans to start out buyer deliveries of all three capability choices throughout the first quarter.

“We’re increasing charging entry, supporting numerous fleet sorts, and making it extra versatile to quickly deploy charging infrastructure because the demand for electrical automobiles continues to develop yearly,” stated Aldan Shank, Director of Cell Charging Merchandise at Xos. “The expanded Hub lineup displays direct suggestions from fleet operators who want options tailor-made to their particular operational necessities. By providing three distinct configurations at aggressive value factors, we’re eradicating the limitations which have prevented many fleets from transitioning to electrical.”
