Discover Which FLO Home EV Charging Station Is Best For You

With the rapid expansion of electric vehicles (EVs) across North America, many owners are looking for the best and most efficient way to keep their EVs charged and ready to go. Since 2009, FLO has been at the forefront of EV charging technology and its new FLO Home TM series is designed to help you charge your EV quickly and efficiently.

What is FLO Home?

FLO created the FLO Home line of EV chargers to simplify your life with convenient and fast Level 2 home charging solutions. But, what exactly is Level 2 charging? Good question. While EVs come equipped with a Level 1 charger, which you can plug into any standard 120V outlet, there are faster ways to charge your EV.

By contrast, Level 2 chargers operate at 240 volts and charge your vehicle roughly six to eight times faster than a Level 1 charger could. FLO Home chargers charge most vehicles fully in less than 8 hours thanks to 50-amp and 80-amp models that deliver up to 12kW and 19.2kW of power, respectively. This means your vehicle is juiced up and ready to roll when you are.

FLO understands that connecting your house and your car, likely two of your most valuable assets, can be a concern. To ease your mind, FLO Home chargers feature an exclusive embedded heat sensor at both ends to detect overheating. Additionally, all FLO Home chargers are built with a type 4X enclosure, so if you can’t park your EV inside, don’t sweat it. FLO Home models are built to withstand harsh weather conditions.

FLO Home chargers are compatible with any EV, offering J1772 or NACS connector options, and they can be installed with either a plug-in or hardwired setup. The X3 and X6 models feature adjustable amperage up to 50A while the X8 model delivers an impressive 80A of power.

Which Model Suits You Best?

Choosing the right FLO Home charger depends on a few key factors: your electric vehicle, your home's electrical setup, and your parking situation.

For Your EV: Think about the power requirements of your specific EV. The FLO Home X3 and X6 models, with their 50A capacity, are excellent for most EVs on the market, matching onboard charging speeds of up to 12 kW of power. However, if you drive an EV with a larger battery, the FLO Home X8, offering up to 19.2 kW at 80A, might be the better choice to ensure quicker charging times.

For Your Home: Consider the electrical capacity of your home. All FLO Home chargers provide adjustable amperage so you can downrate today if your car can only accept a lower kW or you want to save on a costly installation. Both the X3 and X6 models are great if you have standard electrical service and want a reliable, efficient charging solution while the X8 model, with its higher amperage, may require you to upgrade your electrical panel or service. Additionally, if you need flexibility in your setup, the detachable connector and cable holder on the X6 and X8 models provide more options for installation and use.

For Your Parking Situation:  Every FLO Home charger features a rugged type 4X enclosure, designed to endure tough weather conditions, so you can have peace of mind whether you park your EV in a garage or expose it to the elements. The X6 & X8 models even come with a recyclable aluminum enclosure that’s extra durable and keeps your charger performing, even in the harshest environments.

Whichever FLO Home model you choose, these EV chargers are built to integrate effortlessly into your daily routine, providing unmatched reliability, safety, and convenience. The 25-foot premium charging cable is designed to remain flexible even in cold weather and withstand the wear and tear of daily use, including scraping along pavement.

Every charge is a smart charge when you connect your charger to the FLO App via Wi-Fi. The app offers full control over your charging experience, allowing you to restrict access, set up charging schedules, and monitor your charging history. Plus, you can receive real-time charging status and notifications so you’re always informed and can easily locate over 86,000 public chargers on the FLO network.

Are you ready to step up your EV charging game? If so, you owe it to yourself, and your vehicle to look into FLO Home charger and what it can do to make your life easier. Go to the FLO Home website for more details.
