Nxu Inc., a domestic technology firm specializing in EV charging and energy storage solutions, has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Electric Outdoors (EO), an off-grid EV camping systems company.
The collaboration will focus on Electric Outdoors integrating the NxuOne charging systems into its EO Canopies for universal deployment. The partnership marks a “significant stride toward revolutionizing the EV road trip experience by seamlessly combining Nxu’s cutting-edge charging technology into future EO Canopy portable solar generation units,” the companies said.
Nxu intends to deploy the EO Canopy system for charging in remote areas and during site buildouts, ensuring customers have access to EO Canopy amenities during the early phases of charging station development. Electric Outdoors will begin purchasing and integrating the NxuOne charging systems into their EO Canopies and providing additional pull-through charging capabilities at future sites, providing an “unparalleled charging experience for off-grid EV adventure,” the companies said.
“We are thrilled to embark on this journey with Electric Outdoors and explore the possibilities found at the intersection of charging technology and outdoor adventure,” said Mark Hanchett, CEO and founder at Nxu. “Together, we aim to redefine the landscape for cross-country EV road trippers, recreational electric vehicles and weekend warriors, offering innovative charging solutions that enhance their overall experience.”
“This partnership with Nxu aligns perfectly with our mission to revolutionize the future of electric RVs and off-grid camping,” said Josef Hjelmaker, CEO and founder at Electric Outdoors. “By combining our strengths, we can provide innovative solutions that cater to the evolving needs of EV owners and campers.”
Additionally, Nxu and Electric Outdoors will continue to collaborate on the development of pull-through charging stations designed with the future of electric RVs in mind.
