QUEBEC CITY — FLO, a North American electric vehicle charging network operator and a smart charging solutions provider, saw significant growth in 2022.
The company expanded its operations, opening its first U.S. production facility in Auburn Hills, Mich., and saw increases in charging events, employment numbers and charging station deployments. FLO announced collaborations with General Motors, Hydro-Québec and Imperial.
Additionally, FLO successfully sponsored new legislation that aims to improve access to reliable EV chargers for California drivers.
“We continue to see expanding EV adoption and have rapidly grown our operations to meet the increasing EV charging needs of drivers across North America,” said Louis Tremblay, President and CEO, FLO. “This year was a pivotal year for FLO and I’m proud of the work we’ve accomplished. We will continue to grow and innovate, all while supporting EV charging done right – fast, reliable and convenient.”
This week, FLO will officially open its assembly and testing facility in Auburn Hills. The production facility will bring 250,000 EV chargers to American drivers and support 730 jobs by 2028. The chargers assembled at this facility are expected to help FLO expand its charging network across the U.S.
FLO’s network now includes more than 75,000 fast and level 2 EV charging stations at private, public, and residential locations. These charging stations now provide more than an estimated one million charging events each month to customers across North America. FLO maintains a leading uptime of 98 per cent or more on its North American network.
Hydro-Québec, owner of the Electric Circuit EV charging network, selected FLO to supply the Electric Circuit with up to 7500 Level 2 chargers between 2022 and 2026. FLO and Hydro-Québec have been collaborating since 2013. Of the 7500 Level 2 chargers FLO will supply under the new contract, 3000 will be public curbside chargers on the road, 2000 will be for Hydro-Québec’s fleet, and 2,500 for other usages such as businesses and municipalities.
