FLO, a leading North American electric vehicle (EV) charging company, has announced the first assembly of its groundbreaking FLO Ultra DC fast chargers at its facility in Auburn Hills, Michigan. This milestone represents a significant step in FLO’s dedication to deploying fast-charging EV infrastructure across the United States and Canada.
Key Highlights:
- Charges most EVs to 80% in 15 minutes
- Complies with NEVI and Buy America Act requirements
- New motorized cable management system
Revolutionizing Fast Charging
The FLO Ultra charger, capable of charging most EVs to 80% in just 15 minutes with a dual-port 320kW power configuration, is designed to comply with the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program (NEVI) and the Buy America Act. These chargers support federal initiatives to build a cohesive, nationwide network of EV charging stations, aimed at mitigating range anxiety and boosting public confidence in EVs.
Leadership Insights
“With 42% of users accessing DC fast chargers at least once a month and 60% depending on them for longer, multi-city trips, it’s evident that fast charging options are vital to supporting the electric transition,” said Louis Tremblay, FLO president and CEO. “At FLO, we’re committed to meeting this critical need by providing robust, reliable fast charging solutions like the FLO Ultra charger. Our mission is to ensure that drivers have the power they need, whenever and wherever they need it, to confidently drive an EV.”
Innovative Design and Features
The FLO Ultra charger features the new FLO motorized cable management system, known as the EZLift system. This design keeps cables off the ground and provides extended reach, allowing the cable to connect with EVs regardless of vehicle port placement. The motorized system makes the cables feel lighter and easier to maneuver, reducing strain on users.
Manufacturing and Deployment
“This production launch follows a series of rigorous tests ensuring each charger meets FLO’s high standards of durability and reliability — including 98% uptime,” said Martine St-Onge, FLO Chief Manufacturing Operations Officer. “As we ramp up production, we look forward to making it more accessible to own and drive EVs by bringing our FLO Ultra charger to more locations across North America.”
Commitment to Excellence
“Today, we celebrate not just the technological innovation that FLO Ultra chargers represent, but also the hard work and dedication of our team here in Michigan,” concluded St-Onge.
