Charging infrastructure
The company also provides charging infrastructure for electric vehicle fleets.[5][6]
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.[7]
