Xos Inc. (NASDAQ: XOS) announced the launch of its 2.5MWh Power Hub series, a containerized energy storage system designed to provide grid-independent power to data centers and industrial facilities within days of delivery.

The Power Hub series offers three configurations ranging from 1.2 MWh to 4 MWh capacity. The flagship 2.5MWh model provides 1.2 MW continuous output and ships in a standard intermodal container. The company states the system can be deployed and operational within days, compared to the three to seven years typically required for grid interconnection.

The product is built on the same architecture as Xos's existing mobile charging platform, which the company says powers over 250 MWh of deployed energy storage across North America. The Power Hub includes integrated power conversion, controls, and generator dispatch logic in a single factory-built unit.

According to the company, the system addresses power delivery challenges for AI data centers and industrial sites facing multi-year grid connection delays. The International Energy Agency projects global data center electricity consumption will roughly double by 2030, with artificial intelligence as the primary driver.

"The single biggest constraint in US industry right now is the inability to deliver power where it's needed, when it's needed," said Dakota Semler, Chief Executive Officer of Xos. "We engineered this product to do three things that conventional energy storage systems cannot: arrive on a standard truck, energize without a microgrid controller, and make every kilowatt-hour of fuel-fired generation cleaner and more efficient."

Multiple Power Hub units can be combined to create multi-megawatt power installations. The company plans to expand its network of rental, leasing, and deployment partners, with partner announcements expected in coming quarters.

Xos, founded in 2016 and publicly traded since 2021, specializes in electric commercial vehicles and mobile charging solutions. The company designs products in California and manufactures them in Tennessee.
