NXU Charges a Tesla Cybertruck with its NxuOne Charging System
In a breakthrough charging demonstration on February 26, 2024, Nxu Inc., a U.S.-based technology company specializing in EV charging and energy storage solutions, successfully charged a Tesla Cybertruck using its NxuOne Charging System. This was the first time a non-Tesla DC fast charging station powered a charging session for the recently released Cybertruck.
The event highlighted the NxuOneTM as the only currently available universal dual-technology solution for public charging, proving its compatibility with the Cybertruck. Until now, Tesla Superchargers were the sole public charging option for Cybertruck owners. Using third-party chargers like the NxuOneTM system represents a significant step forward for NACS (North American Charging Standard) interoperability and charging accessibility for drivers of the electric pickup truck.
According to Nxu Inc., this achievement underscores their commitment to advancing EV charging technology and providing efficient, reliable, and innovative charging solutions for all EV owners. As a domestic technology company focused on e-mobility and energy storage, Nxu aims to drive the future of energy through its intellectual property and innovations. While projections contain risks and uncertainties, Nxu expects to continue supporting the growth of EVs through industry-leading grid storage solutions, charging infrastructure, and cloud management.
