Flo chargers are quite abundant around these parts, and always dependable both AC and DC.
It is indeed sad news to find out they will be closing their charging manufacture facility in Shawinigan Quebec.
"Electric vehicle charging network operator and equipment maker, FLO, is closing its manufacturing facility in Shawinigan, Que., by the end of August.
FLO says it will continue to build chargers in Quebec, at its Grand-Mère facility and in Michigan. The company also intends to keep using subcontractors to support its EV charger manufacturing.
The company points to mounting trade tensions, political instability and shifting government policies around electrification as major hurdles to long-term planning.
But changing conditions, such as the withdrawal of provincial and federal EV incentives and a global slowdown in the battery industry have impacted demand and have led to deals with customers falling through last-minute, said Tremblay.
In the U.S., political resistance to EVs and unclear policy signals have also contributed to the decision to reduce FLO’s operations."
