The collaboration is paving the way for an electrified future, one EV road trip at a time 

DETROIT, Michigan, Feb. 29, 2024 – Electric Outdoors, Inc., a pioneer in sustainable off-grid camping systems, has entered into a strategic partnership with Nxu, Inc., a leading domestic technology firm specializing in innovative EV charging and energy storage solutions.

The partnership establishes a commitment by both companies to deliver a best-in-class charging experience for campers and road travelers. Electric Outdoors pledges to integrate the NxuOne™ charging system into its solar-powered EO Canopy, amplifying the effectiveness and utility of the platform and providing a next-level charging experience for off-grid EV adventurers.

Additionally, both companies are committed to the development of pull-through charging stations designed for the electric RVs of the future. 

"We are thrilled to embark on this journey with Electric Outdoors and explore the possibilities found at the intersection of charging technology and outdoor adventure," said Mark Hanchett, CEO and founder of Nxu. "Together, we aim to redefine the landscape for cross-country EV road-trippers and weekend warriors, offering innovative charging solutions that enhance their overall experience."

The EO Canopy, Electric Outdoors’ flagship product, is a first-of-its-kind camping platform powered entirely by sustainable sources, making off-grid energy, water, and waste handling available to EV drivers, RVers, and other campers.
