This milestone marks a significant step in Flo's continued commitment to deploying fast-charging EV infrastructure across the United States and Canada.

The Flo Ultra charger can charge most EVs to 80% in just 15 minutes using a dual port 320kW power configuration. Designed to comply with the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program's (NEVI) standards and the Buy America Act, these chargers support federal initiatives to build a cohesive, nationwide network of EV charging stations, which aims to mitigate range anxiety and boost public confidence in EVs.

"The Flo Ultra charger is set to redefine what drivers expect from public charging stations with powerful charging and versatile design," 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."

The Flo Ultra charger features the company’s new motorised cable management system. The EZLift system is designed to keep cables off the ground and provide extended reach allowing the cable to reach EVs regardless of vehicle port placement. Importantly, the motorised system makes the cables feel lighter and easier to manoeuvre, reducing strain on users.

This production launch follows a series of rigorous tests ensuring each charger meets Flo's high standards of durability and reliability -- including 98% uptime. As more Flo Ultra chargers come off the line, they are set to become a familiar sight at public charging stations, offering a quick, easy, and efficient charging solution for EV drivers on the go.
