AddÉnergie Launches FLO, Canada’s Largest and Most Reliable Electric Vehicle Charging Network

AddÉnergie Launches FLO, Canada’s Largest and Most Reliable Electric Vehicle Charging Network

July 7, 2016

AddÉnergie has launched its cross-Canada FLO network, allowing EV drivers to recharge their vehicles wherever they are — at home, at work, or on the go. The company has also introduced FLO Home, a new service for residential charging.

The FLO network connects members to nearly 2,000 charging stations in BC, Ontario, Québec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, along with interoperability capabilities that can extend the network to systems in other provinces. FLO unifies existing networks in Quebec (RéseauVER) and other Canadian provinces (VERnetwork) to offer more than 20,000 Canadian EV drivers a consistent range of charging services on a single reliable network.

The launch of FLO follows the recent investment of $12.8M in AddÉnergie by the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec and Investissement Québec to support its deployment plan. Network build-out plans call for an additional 8,000 more stations in Canada over the next five years (not including home stations).

FLO Home Unveiled at EVS29

A new FLO Home charging station targeting the residential segment was introduced to the public at the 29th World Electric Vehicle Symposium and Exhibition (EVS29), which took place June 19 to 22 in Montreal. Manufactured entirely in Quebec, the new intelligent station has been specifically designed to withstand the rigours of the Canadian winter. Highly secure, it is also equipped with features to protect both itself and a connected EV against fluctuations in the electrical grid. The FLO Home service will be available in early fall 2016. EV drivers in Quebec will benefit from a government rebate of $350 for home chargers.

AddÉnergie is the supplier and operator of Canada’s two largest charging station networks, Electric Circuit in Québec and VERnetwork (now FLO). The company has over 50 employees spread among its headquarters in Quebec City, PQ, a manufacturing plant in Shawinigan PQ, and its office in Mississauga, PQ.
