Breaking Down Charging Barriers

The agreement tackles a major hurdle in EV adoption: network fragmentation. Previously, drivers needed separate apps and accounts for different charging networks, creating friction, especially for frequent travelers. By integrating their platforms, SWTCH and FLO provide a cohesive charging experience, allowing users to locate and use chargers effortlessly across North America.

Benefits for EV Drivers

This collaboration delivers immediate value to users. Drivers can now access a combined network of over 180,000 chargers through a single app, streamlining the charging process. The integration supports existing payment methods, ensuring convenience and consistency. Trip planning is also simplified, as drivers gain visibility into a broader network of charging stations, fostering confidence in long-distance EV travel.
