MESA, Ariz., Sept. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nxu Inc., (NASDAQ: NXU) (“Nxu”, “the Company”), a domestic technology company developing and manufacturing innovative EV charging and energy storage solutions for the infrastructure we need to power our electrified future, will launch its first public EV charging field trials, in Mesa, Ariz. on Thursday, Sept. 28, at 6 a.m. The Nxu One Megawatt+ Charging System will be located outside the Company’s manufacturing facility at 1828 N.

In celebration of National Drive Electric Week, Nxu is offering $1 charges from Thursday, Sept. 28 – Sunday, Oct. 1.

“EV users are looking for charging solutions that are reliable, consistent and convenient. Today, they often only get one of those three, if any at all, when they charge their vehicles,” said Nxu Founder, Chairman and CEO Mark Hanchett. “Nxu aims to deliver on all three, starting with our proprietary, powerful Nxu One Charging System. We anticipate a very favorable response from those who experience our charging technology and we can’t wait to put charging power back in the hands of EV drivers.”

It is designed to support up to 4.5MW of bi-directional DC power and up to 50kW of bi-directional AC power. Nxu One adapts to any vehicle that supports CCS, charging as fast and with as much power as the vehicle will allow – whether that’s a Chevy Bolt or an EV semi.
