Nxu and Electric Outdoors create a mutual beneficial collaboration to power the future of EV weekend warriors
MESA, Ariz., Feb. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nxu, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXU) (“Nxu” or “the Company”), a leading domestic technology firm specializing in innovative EV charging and energy storage solutions for the infrastructure driving our electrified future, has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Electric Outdoors (“EO”), a trailblazer in off-grid EV camping systems. This collaboration 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 Letter of Intent (LOI) inked between Nxu and Electric Outdoors solidifies the commitment to establishing a mutually beneficial partnership that will combine the strengths of both companies to amplify the effectiveness and utility of the EO Canopy system.
