Xos, Inc. (pronounced ék-so-s)[2] is an American manufacturer of commercial electric vehicles (EVs) and mobile EV chargers.
History
The company was founded in 2016 and went public in 2021.[3]
In June 2025, Leap, a virtual power plant (VPP) platform, partnered with Xos to integrate Xos Hub, a mobile battery-integrated charger, with Leap's VPP software. This collaboration enables Xos customers, including major logistics firms like FedEx and UPS, to participate in California's Demand Side Grid Support (DSGS) program, allowing fleets to shift charging to Xos Hub batteries during peak grid demand, reducing grid strain and generating revenue. The partnership supports cost-efficient fleet electrification by leveraging scalable charging solutions without traditional infrastructure costs, while enhancing grid reliability, as demonstrated by Leap's contributions to preventing blackouts in California during past heat waves.[4]

Vehicles
The company manufactures electric commercial vehicles, primarily electric step vans. As of the end of Q1 2024, it has delivered more than 600 vehicles in total.

Future products announced by the company include a medium-duty box truck/chassis cab and a heavy-duty semi-truck.
