More About Expion360’s Deal and XPON Stock
The battery maker will provide Cube Series with batteries and other components for the latter company’s new “foldable camper.” According to Expion360, it will be the sole provider of those components for the camper. These new top-of-the-line and compact campers are designed to be carried in the bed of light-duty trucks.
Expion360’s batteries will store power for the campers. Additionally, the batteries, along with XPON’s other components will create “a complete energy system.”
Among the camper’s amenities that will be powered by the batteries are four lights, an air conditioner, a water pump, and an electric flushing cassette toilet.
Expion360’s batteries will be an “upgrade option” on Cube Series’ camper. Cube Series president Rick Wise said in a statement:
“We chose Expion360 because our new top-quality camper demands the most energy-dense, compact form factor and best power components available on the market today”
According to InvestorsObserver, XPON stock “has traded less bullishly over the last month than 81% of stocks on the market,” while analysts’ average price target on the name is $4.25.
