Xos Mobilizes Mobile Energy Storing & Charging in 3 Sizes 210 kWh, 420 kWh & 630 kWh

Xos, a California-based maker of electric commercial vehicles and charging equipment, on Monday introduced three new versions of its mobile energy storage system, a move aimed at lowering one of the most persistent barriers to fleet electrification: charging infrastructure that is slow to build and costly to install.

The expanded lineup of the company’s Xos Hub, a towable battery-based charging unit, offers capacities ranging from 210 kilowatt-hours to 630 kilowatt-hours. Together, the new models are designed to serve everything from light-duty delivery vans to heavy-duty electric trucks, allowing fleets to deploy charging capacity in days rather than the months or years typically required for permanent installations.

Fleet operators have long struggled with the practical realities of electrification. Traditional fixed charging stations often require lengthy utility approvals, trenching, and electrical upgrades, with costs that can exceed $150,000 per charger. Xos positions the Hub as an alternative: a self-contained system that can be delivered and put to work almost immediately, whether as a temporary solution or a long-term installation.

The smallest model, with a capacity of 210 kilowatt-hours, is aimed at light-duty fleets such as delivery and service vehicles. Starting at about $158,000, it is intended to make mobile charging accessible to operators who previously found infrastructure costs prohibitive. The mid-range 420 kilowatt-hour version increases capacity significantly while remaining light enough to be towed by a standard pickup truck, preserving the Hub’s portability. The largest configuration, at 630 kilowatt-hours, targets medium- and heavy-duty trucks, offering high energy density in a compact footprint that can fit into space-constrained depots.

Xos said multiple units can be linked together — up to 10 on a single grid connection — allowing large fleets to scale capacity beyond six megawatt-hours as their electric vehicle operations expand. All three versions are expected to receive UL 9540 A certification in 2026, a key safety standard that allows them to be used both as mobile assets and as permanent installations.

The company plans to begin customer deliveries in the first quarter of 2026. The rollout builds on earlier deployments of the Hub with customers including utilities and public agencies, where the systems have been used for emergency charging, grid support and fleet operations.

“We’re trying to meet fleets where they are,” Aldan Shank, Xos’s director of mobile charging products, said in a statement, adding that the new configurations reflect feedback from operators who need charging solutions sized to their specific routes and vehicles.

As commercial electric vehicles grow larger and more energy-intensive, the need for flexible, high-capacity charging options is becoming more acute. With its expanded Hub lineup, Xos is betting that mobility, speed of deployment and modular scale will matter as much as raw power in determining how quickly fleets make the shift away from diesel.
