Xos Completes First Over-the-Air Updates Across Vehicles

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xos, Inc. (NASDAQ: XOS), is proud to announce the successful completion of its first launch of over-the-air updates to its 2023 Xos SV Stepvans. This marks a major milestone in the commercial electric vehicle industry, as full-vehicle over-the-air updates have traditionally been limited to consumer electric vehicles.

The 2023 Xos SV Stepvan is the latest in a line of electric commercial vehicles from Xos. It includes a range of improvements over previous models, including the capability for over-the-air updates. This allows Xos to make a variety of updates to the vehicle, including new vehicle features, powertrain tuning, and charging enhancements.

The same telematics control units that enable over-the-air updates also allow for over-the-air diagnostics. This allows Xos to quickly and more efficiently address charging or operation issues.

Among the vehicles that have received the first over-the-air updates is a stepvan in service with a major parcel and delivery operator. These updates include charging enhancements to stabilize the vehicle's charging compatibility with the third party chargers already onsite at the customer's terminal.

"We are thrilled to be among the first to offer full vehicle over-the-air updates to our electric commercial stepvans," said Saleh Heydari, Vice President of Software Engineering at Xos. "This is a major milestone for the industry, and we are proud to be leading the way in providing our customers with the most advanced and reliable electric vehicles on the market."
