Xos, Inc. — Cyborg Score 6/10

Solid
Commercial Electric Vehicles & Fleet Electrification Services

Strategic Profile

The company was founded in 2016 by Dakota Semler and Giordano Sordoni, two former fleet owners and operators, who sought to build an electric vehicle to solve issues around increasing emissions regulations and rising maintenance and diesel costs. Xos offers proprietary battery system (X-Pack) and modular chassis (X-Platform) purpose-built for medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, along with fleet-as-a-service offerings including vehicle maintenance and purchase financing.

Cyborg Score Rationale

In 2024, Xos revenue was $55.96 million (up 25.69% YoY) with losses of $50.16 million (33.86% less than 2023). Q3 2025 showed 130 units delivered, $16.5M revenue with 15.3% gross margin, and achieved positive free cash flow of $3.1 million.
