The 2024 Xos SV Stepvan Now Available for Incentives on the HVIP Vehicle Catalog
May 02 2024
https://ih.advfn.com/stock-market/NASDAQ/xos-XOS/stock-news/93766222/the-2024-xos-sv-stepvan-now-available-for-incentiv
Xos, Inc. (NASDAQ: XOS), an industry-leading commercial electric vehicle manufacturer, has received official approval from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for the 2024 Xos SV Battery Electric Stepvan to be listed on the Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Program (HVIP) catalog. The HVIP incentive, starting at a base amount of $85,000, offers Xos a significant opportunity to provide their innovative 2024 Xos SV Battery-Electric Stepvan at a reduced upfront cost to customers.
2024 Xos SV Stepvan
Xos is committed to delivering cost-effective electrification solutions and views the HVIP incentive as an essential tool in breaking down the barriers to entry for businesses transitioning to cleaner, electric fleets. With a base HVIP incentive of $85,000 per vehicle, customers stand to make substantial savings on their purchase of a new Xos SV.
"The renewal of the 2024 model of our Xos SV in HVIP is an exciting milestone that underlines our commitment to make electrification more cost-effective for our customers," said Clare Bachman, Manager of Funding and Incentives at Xos. "Since the program first launched, we have a demonstrated track record of assisting our customers in benefitting from the available funding. We are keen to continue to help our customers take advantage of these incentive dollars."
The 2024 Xos SV is designed to be the optimal battery-electric vehicle for key use cases, including parcel delivery, linen and textile services trucks, utility and repair trucks, and armored transport. Its modularity allows for customization to suit a variety of fleet routes and needs.
This HVIP approval reduces the upfront costs of the Xos SV Stepvan, lowering the total cost of ownership and enhancing financial returns for small business owners. Xos’s small business customers with 20 or fewer medium and heavy-duty vehicles in their fleet and an annual revenue cap of $15 million may be eligible to receive a cash on-the-hood discount of around $170,000 or more towards purchasing a 2024 Xos SV. The small fleet base voucher adjustment through HVIP helps position the SV as an increasingly viable option for smaller businesses and contractors seeking to bring the cost of a commercial electric vehicle closer to parity with a diesel alternative.

XOS shares upgraded to buy by DA Davidson
Published 2024-04-01
https://ca.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/xos-shares-upgraded-to-buy-by-da-davidson-93CH-3329067
On Monday, DA Davidson shifted its stance on XOS Inc. (NASDAQ: XOS), upgrading the stock from Neutral to Buy, while maintaining a price target of $17.00. The upgrade follows XOS's fourth-quarter results for 2023, which have contributed to a more optimistic outlook for the electric vehicle (EV) truck manufacturer.
The firm's decision comes on the heels of the company's recent acquisition of SOLO, completed last week, which has significantly improved XOS's financial outlook. The analyst noted that the acquisition might enable XOS to eliminate the "going concern" provision from its financial statements, indicating a more stable financial position.
XOS's recent deal to supply powertrains to a leading electric bus provider was also highlighted as a key factor behind the upgrade. This development is seen as a strong endorsement of XOS's technology and its potential within the EV industry.
The analyst expressed confidence in the company's trajectory, citing the return of customers and their increasing orders for more trucks. This customer loyalty and growing demand are viewed as positive indicators for XOS's performance in the competitive EV market.
DA Davidson's maintained price target of $17.00 reflects a steady outlook for XOS's share value, underpinned by recent strategic moves and partnerships that could position the company favorably in the evolving EV landscape.
InvestingPro Insights
Following DA Davidson's upgrade, real-time data from InvestingPro provides a deeper look into XOS Inc.'s financial health and market performance. With a market capitalization of $61.14 million, XOS shows a significant revenue growth of 22.4% in the last twelve months as of Q4 2023. This growth trajectory is underscored by an impressive quarterly revenue growth of 114.4% in Q4 2023, signaling potential in the company's operational expansion and market penetration.
Despite these promising signs, XOS faces challenges highlighted by InvestingPro Tips. The company's stock price has experienced substantial volatility, and analysts are not expecting profitability this year, which is reflected in the negative P/E ratio of -0.8. Additionally, with a gross profit margin of -2.9%, XOS is grappling with weak gross profit margins, emphasizing the need for improved cost management and operational efficiency.
Investors may take note of the company's ability to maintain liquidity, as indicated by liquid assets exceeding short-term obligations. This aspect of XOS's financial position could provide some reassurance amidst the high price volatility of its stock.

Xos, Inc. Accelerates Growth with Strategic Acquisition of ElectraMeccanica
March 26 2024
https://ih.advfn.com/stock-market/NASDAQ/xos-XOS/stock-news/93550980/xos-inc-accelerates-growth-with-strategic-acquis
Xos, Inc. (NASDAQ: XOS), a leading electric truck manufacturer and fleet electrification services provider, today announced that it has closed its acquisition of ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ: SOLO) (“ElectraMeccanica”), a designer and assembler of electric vehicles. Terms of the acquisition were first announced on January 11, 2024.
The all-stock transaction is expected to add approximately $48 million to Xos’ balance sheet and provide growth capital for the company.
“The growth capital received in the transaction, combined with our reduction of cash burn, provides an important pathway to profitability as we scale deliveries over the next several quarters,” said Dakota Semler, CEO and Co-Founder of Xos, Inc. “Xos is gross margin positive and has now charted our course to being free cash flow positive.”
Xos delivered a company record 110 units to fleet customers in the fourth quarter of 2023. The company’s customers in 2023 included FedEx Ground, UPS, Loomis, Canada Post, UniFirst, and Penske, showcasing strong demand for its electric commercial vehicles. With the addition of ElectraMeccanica's cash balance, Xos is well-positioned to continue its growth and meet the increasing demand for zero-emission commercial vehicles.
"We are confident that this acquisition will further strengthen Xos' commitment to operational excellence, customer-focused vehicles, and efficient capital deployment," said Giordano Sordoni, COO and Co-Founder of Xos, Inc.
The consideration received by ElectraMeccanica shareholders pursuant to the acquisition (the “Arrangement”) was 0.0143739 shares of Xos common stock for each common share of ElectraMeccanica held immediately prior to the consummation of the Arrangement. As a result, following the close of the Arrangement, former shareholders of ElectraMeccanica own approximately 21.0% of Xos.
With the completion of the Arrangement, the common shares of ElectraMeccanica will be delisted from Nasdaq on or about March 26, 2024. Xos will also cause ElectraMeccanica to surrender its reporting issuer status in British Columbia.
Required Early Warning Report Information
Following completion of the Arrangement, Xos has beneficial ownership and control over 100% of the issued and outstanding common shares of ElectraMeccanica. Prior to the Arrangement, Xos held no common shares of ElectraMeccanica.
This press release is being issued, in part, pursuant to National Instrument 62-103 – The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues which requires a report to be filed under ElectraMeccanica’s profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) containing additional information respecting the foregoing matters.

February 22 2024

Xos, Inc. (NASDAQ: XOS), a leading manufacturer of electric commercial vehicles, and Winnebago®, the flagship brand of outdoor lifestyle product manufacturer Winnebago Industries (NYSE: WGO), are pleased to announce an exciting partnership and development of a fully electric chassis for Winnebago’s Specialty Vehicles division. This chassis utilizes proven Xos battery and electronics technology and is customized for Winnebago’s unique commercial applications.
“We constantly seek new ways to enhance our customers’ mission, and our partnership with Xos is an important next step in our efforts,” said Robert Kim, director for Winnebago’s Specialty Vehicles division. “The near-term demand for zero-emission vehicle options from our Specialty Vehicle division continues to grow and we look forward to extending our leadership position using an Xos chassis designed to integrate seamlessly into our manufacturing processes.”
With the delivery of the first chassis, this partnership brings together two industry leaders to provide innovative, fully-electric solutions for the specialty vehicle market. Winnebago’s Specialty Vehicles division has been providing commercial vehicles for over 50 years and has led the market with zero-emissions vehicle solutions, with their first electric vehicle introduced in 2018.

The specialized chassis for Winnebago will utilize Xos' proven SV platform technology allowing for quick scalability, dependable access to parts, continued software improvements, and scalable service support. The chassis is also compatible with Xosphere, Xos' fleet management software, providing end-users with a comprehensive support system. The use cases for this platform can include but are not limited to, mobile child advocacy centers, medical and dental clinics, blood donation vehicles, and mobile command vehicles. Xos' electric chassis will underpin Winnebago’s zero-emissions commercial vehicle shells, available in 33’ and 38’ lengths. With an estimated driving range up to 200 miles, this new vehicle eliminates tailpipe emissions, reduces noise, and reduces overall operating costs.
“Our approach to innovation is rooted in embracing change and collaborating across our businesses to create the best possible experiences for our customers,” said Jamie Sorenson, director in Winnebago Industries’ Advanced Technology Group, a project partner. “We are constantly monitoring evolving customer needs and technology solutions and our partnership with Xos represents a significant milestone in our journey into the future of electric specialty vehicles.”

Repost from Stocktwits:
- Calculated current number of XOS shares based on initial merger PR stating that XOS management owns 3.23 million shares, representing 49.5% of all outstanding XOS shares, so XOS outstanding shares = 3.23/0.495 = 6.5 million.
- After the merger XOS will own 79% of the shares in the combined company, which can be estimated by 6.5/0.79 = 8, or 8 million shares.
- SOLO shares = 8 - 6.5 = 1.5 million
- There are currently 119 outstanding SOLO shares, so exchange ratio = 1.5/119 = 0.01261
- Assuming a combined company worth of $100 million, XOS shares would be worth 100/8=12, or $12 a share at time of merger, SOLO shares at time of merger would be worth 0.21x$100=$21 million/119 million oustanding shares = $0.18
The share information in the initial merger announcement PR, was given only to show the likelihood of the merger being approved. A 2/3 majority of votes from both shareholders is needed. XOS management, owning 50% of outstanding shares, pretty much guarantees approval. However, SOLO management only owns 2-3% of outstanding shares, so not a guarantee. Since only voted shares count, it should increase the likelihood that the merger is approved by shareholders of both companies.

Xos, Inc. (NASDAQ: XOS), a leader in the electrification of fleets, today announced the next generation of their mobile charging unit, The Xos Hub™. This rapidly deployable charging unit is designed to help expedite the electrification of fleets. Xcel Energy, a leading clean energy provider, has signed a purchase order securing two of the new Hubs to use at its remote worksites.
Xos Hub™ Charging Passenger Vehicles
The new generation of the Xos Hub offers 280kWh of energy capacity and is notably more powerful than previous generations, with charging capability up to 160kW. This is up to four times the charge rate compared to previous iterations.
The Xos Hub has four standard CCS1 charge heads and weighs less than 10,000 lbs, eliminating the need for a commercial driver's license to transport the Hub. This version of the Xos Hub is also substantially more affordable at a lower starting price compared to previous iterations.
The Hub can be powered by existing power infrastructure at depots or facilities without the need for upgrades. Alternatively, the Hub can also be charged by a CCS1 inlet from a DC fast charging station onsite or in the field. This makes the Hub a more versatile solution for several applications, including stopgap charging for EV fleets, remote and rescue charging, semi-permanent charging, or backup power during grid outages.
“The Xos Hub is a game changer for fleets looking to electrify,” said Xos CEO, Dakota Semler. “It’s a cost-effective solution that can be deployed quickly and easily. With the lower weight and smaller footprint, it's an even more flexible system for mobile charging.”
With the ability to be charged from the grid during off-peak hours, in some locations the Xos Hub can save customers up to 40% on electricity costs compared to standard DC Fast Chargers, especially in the summer months when peak rates are typically higher. This combined with lower installation costs makes the Xos Hub a significantly more affordable charging solution for EV fleet operators in some applications.
To help achieve its clean transportation vision, Xcel Energy plans to use temporary charging at construction sites where zero-emission vehicles are deployed. Temporary charging will serve as a remote operating base for electric vehicles, enabling the electrification of worksites. Xcel has signed a purchase order for two new Xos Hubs to use for these applications.
The Xos Hub can power electrified construction equipment for more than one shift, eliminating the need to transport offsite for charging. Another innovative use of the Xos Hub is as a rescue vehicle for EVs that run out of charge, saving the time and cost of towing. By bringing the Hub to the site, the vehicle can be charged then and there, introducing a new level of convenience and efficiency in EV operations.
“By 2050, Xcel Energy is committed to delivering zero-carbon fuel for all vehicles in the states we serve, and a key part of that vision is electrifying our own fleet,” said Jeff Savage, Xcel Energy’s senior vice president, chief audit and financial services officer. "We’re excited about our clean transportation future, and the ability to charge our electrified equipment at remote worksites is another step we’re pursuing to reduce carbon emissions."
Xos is committed to helping fleets make the transition to electric vehicles easier and more cost-effective. With the new generation of the Xos Hub™, fleets can now take advantage of an even more powerful and affordable mobile charging solution.

EV stocks - 3 EV Stocks Still Flying Under Wall Street’s Radar
12 hrs ago
https://investorplace.com/2023/11/3-ev-stocks-still-flying-under-wall-streets-radar/
Electric vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the automotive landscape, and the hunt for under-the-radar EV stocks to buy remains as thrilling as ever. Amidst the bustling EV realm, many businesses are vying for a slice of the future. The real gems are those lesser-known players making major strides. These under-the-radar companies, often overshadowed by industry giants, are efficiently ramping up production, building on their technology, and steadily growing their revenue base.
The EV sector, fiercely competitive and rapidly evolving, is fraught with startups that promise the moon yet falter under financial turmoil. However, certain under-the-radar firms are navigating the challenges adeptly amidst this landscape, moving steadily towards a more promising future.
Xos (NASDAQ:XOS) is a rising star in the EV sector, a specialist in manufacturing Class 5 to Class 8 battery-electric commercial vehicles while offering fleet services and software solutions. A significant aspect of their business involves building commercial vehicles for notable clients, including Loomis, a prominent cash transportation company.
Moreover, Xos has recently introduced its mobile fleet management application, Xoshere Go, building on fleet performance and health monitoring for customers and authorized dealers on the move.
In a recent financial update, Xos reported a third-quarter GAAP EPS of negative eight cents, surpassing expectations by two cents. The company’s revenue stood at an impressive $16.7 million, marking a 51.8% year-over-year increase while exceeding forecasts by $4.75 million. A key highlight for Xos in the third quarter of 2023 was the delivery of 105 units to end customers, the highest in any quarter to date.
The new Xos 2023 step van is engineered to substantially build on traditional diesel trucks’ performance metrics, propelling the firm toward positive free cash flows. Acting CFO Liana Pogosyan anticipates sustained and improving margins as demand for medium-duty EVs escalates. This optimistic outlook and the company’s spectacular recent achievements make Xos a compelling long-term option for investors eyeing the commercial EV sphere.
