The latest version of the Xos Hub mobile charging unit has been approved for California’s Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project, administered by the California Air Resources Board. This approval makes the Xos Hub eligible for a $110,000 incentive, allowing fleet customers to acquire the unit for under $100,000. Xos says this pricing is less than half the cost of many comparable DC fast charging systems, which often exceed $200,000.

The Xos Hub features 282 kilowatt-hours of energy storage and four integrated DC fast chargers. The unit is designed for rapid deployment without permanent infrastructure or major utility upgrades. This flexible solution targets fleet operators who need mobile charging at multiple, remote or grid-limited sites.

Xos says current Hub users include large fleets and utilities such as Caltrans, Duke Energy, Xcel Energy, TECO Energy and Highland Fleets.

Xos Hub has also been deployed in a variety of off-highway settings, including seaports for powering electric forklifts in cargo operations, airports for supporting electric aircraft and ground support equipment, construction zones as an energy source for electric machinery, and retail or logistics facilities for charging yard hostlers and material handling equipment.

“Securing CORE approval for our most advanced Hub yet is a major milestone in our mission to accelerate fleet electrification,” said Aldan Shank, Director of Mobile Charging. “By getting the cost below $100,000 per unit, we’ve made high-capacity, fast charging easier to deploy than ever before. This changes the economics for off-road fleet operators and removes many of the common obstacles to fleet electrification and charging.”
