Manufactured with a flexible design, Flo Ultra will provide drivers with a convenient, intuitive, and lightning-fast charging experience. These first chargers, which are Buy America compliant, will be produced at Flo's Auburn Hills facility. The company's distribution partner, Rexel Energy Solutions, supported the sale to GMP.
Flo's newest EV charging station is designed with innovative features. It can accommodate charging from all angles, including parallel, pull-in, or on both sides, allowing for flexible parking options. The charger also features a never-before-seen, patent-pending motorised cable management system, promoting accessibility and reducing strain on users.
With a simple but revolutionary design, the charger features up to 320kW across dual-ports in one rugged aluminium enclosure. It will charge most EVs to 80% in 15 minutes. The enclosure is made of durable, recyclable aluminium designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. The EV fast charger is easily serviceable with large front and back doors and modular components for quick replacement. Flo Ultra is connected to the Flo network, which enables remote monitoring to assure swift diagnostic and proactive action to avoid potential issues.
"At GMP, we offer programs and rebates to make it simple for customers to switch to driving electric, and we're installing ten new fast chargers across Vermont each year until 2030," said Tiana Smith, GMP's leader of electrification and sustainability. "As a long-standing customer of Flo, we are looking forward to the delivery of four Flo Ultra chargers starting this spring, to continue to expand fast charging access."
Available starting in 2024, Flo Ultra meets the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program's (NEVI) minimum standards, including Buy America requirements. The NEVI program provides states with US$5 billion to deploy EV fast chargers along major highway corridors, paving the way for widespread EV adoption across North America.
Flo Ultra production will start at the Auburn Hills facility in the first half of 2024 supplementing the company's Level 2 chargers currently coming off the line. Flo Ultra chargers produced in Auburn Hills will contribute to the 250,000 chargers the company plans to bring to the US market by 2028.
