What FLO does

FLO (legally AddEnergie Technologies Inc., headquartered in Quebec City, Canada, with U.S. operations via FLO Services USA Inc. dba FLO Charging Solutions USA Inc. in California) operates a vertically integrated North American EV charging business built since 2009. The company designs and manufactures Level 2 home chargers (FLO Home X3, X6, X8) and a commercial hardware portfolio spanning the CoRe+ and SmartTWO/SmartTWO-BSR Level 2 stations, the SmartDC 50/100 kW DC fast charger, and the FLO Ultra all-in-one 320 kW DC fast charger. Manufacturing is located in Quebec and Auburn Hills, Michigan (the latter is being divested via auction in May 2026). Underlying the hardware is a software platform comprising the FLO mobile app (iOS/Android), an Owner's Portal for station operators, patented PowerSharing and PowerLimiting energy management technologies that can reduce site electricity costs by up to 45%, and a 24/7 Network Operations Centre that supports a 98% uptime guarantee.

FLO operates one of the largest EV charging networks in North America, with 95,000+ owned stations and access to 130,000+ additional stations via roaming agreements with ChargePoint, BC Hydro, Shell Recharge, Electric Circuit (Hydro-Québec), SWTCH, and e-Charge Network; 550,000+ registered drivers use the network. Revenue is generated through three primary streams: (1) hardware sales (residential and commercial chargers) via direct e-commerce (store.flo.com), regional electrical distributors (WESCO, Rexel, Lumen, Gescan), and direct enterprise field sales; (2) network access / charging session fees (per session, per hour, or per kWh, with prices set by site hosts); and (3) recurring Global Management Services subscriptions and Performance Warranty add-ons for commercial deployments. Target segments include auto dealerships (with named relationships across Acura, Audi, BMW, Chrysler, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Ford, KIA, Mercedes-Benz, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen), cities and municipalities (City of New York, Boston, Kingston, Toronto Parking Authority), fleets, multi-unit residential, convenience and oil-and-gas retail (Husky Energy/Mache Capital), hospitality (MGM Resorts, Crystal Mountain Resort), utilities (BC Hydro, Con Edison), and individual EV drivers.
