• Xcel Energy orders three more Xos Hub™ units to charge fleet vehicles across different Colorado sites, to provide fast and flexible charging opportunities in a variety of use cases from semi-permanent to fully mobile
• Xos Hub units reach operability in days rather than the six to eighteen months typical of installation and set up to DC charging service
• Order follows Xos's first deployment of two Hub units with Xcel Energy in 2024 amid growing Hub demand among utility and fleet customers
   

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xos, Inc. (NASDAQ:XOS) ("Xos" or the "Company"), a leader in electric commercial vehicles and mobile charging solutions, today announced a follow-on order for three Xos Hub™ mobile energy storage and charging systems from Xcel Energy, a U.S. clean energy provider, to support fleet charging for a variety of applications across Colorado sites. Two units will be used at Xcel Energy service centers to provide fast charging capabilities for Xcel Energy fleet electric vehicle (EV) drivers, and one unit will be deployed to supply EV charging opportunities to Xcel Energy customers impacted by special construction projects in the Denver area.

The order expands Xcel Energy's use of the Xos Hub after the utility first deployed two units in 2024, reinforcing the platform's role in helping utilities operate electric fleets at locations where the upgrades needed are too expensive and time consuming, or where there is not a power source to provide an interconnection.

These deployments fulfill the utility’s goal to continue electrifying its operations, while solving common barriers across the industry, due to constrained supply chains and prolonged permitting processes. Since first deploying two Hub units in 2024, Xcel Energy has put the platform to work in real operating conditions, with its Colorado unit delivering roughly 33,000 kWh of charging to date. This latest deployment builds on that track record to address the gap directly.
