FLO: Features, Pricing and Integrations

FLO makes EV chargers and runs the network software behind them. For apartment and condo buildings it leads with the CoRe+ Series, a Level 2 charger with cable management, an aluminum enclosure built against water and corrosion, and pedestals certified as junction boxes. Its wider lineup includes FLO Home, SmartTWO, SmartDC and FLO Ultra. Owners manage the stations through an owner’s portal, drivers use the FLO app, and a network operations center sits behind both. FLO says it assembles its products in North America for faster access to spare parts, and it targets network uptime of 98 percent or better. It is one of the hardware vendors in the multifamily EV charging guide, and the facts panel below is rendered from our vendor database with a source and verification date on each entry.

Who it fits

The database tags institutional multifamily and HOA communities, because the page is written for apartments and condos. The buyer is an owner or condo board that wants to buy networked chargers from the manufacturer, keep control of rates and access, and rely on the vendor for driver support around the clock. FLO’s PowerSharing and PowerLimiting features are pitched at keeping electricity costs down, which is the conversation every older garage starts with.

It fits less well for an owner who wants no capital outlay, since the page describes no vendor-owned or subscription model, and for a small building that would rather install smart outlets than networked chargers.

Pricing

FLO does not publish prices or billing models on its apartments and condos page. Ask for a quote broken into hardware per port, installation, the network software subscription per port per year, and any maintenance plan. Ask how the property charges residents, whether by the hour, by the kWh, by session or by flat monthly fee, and what share of each payment FLO keeps. Ask whether the software is required for the chargers to work, and what happens to the hardware if the subscription lapses.

Integrations

The record names no PMS integration, and the page mentions none. Resident billing is not described either, so that is the first thing to cover in a demo. Ask how a resident is given access and a rate, how move-outs revoke it, and whether revenue can be reported per resident or per unit for posting to the ledger. Ask whether residents pay through the FLO app or the property invoices them.

Limitations and questions to ask

The 98 percent figure is a target. FLO’s footnote says it is calculated on a 12-month rolling basis and has been met across several years of reporting. Ask whether it appears in the contract with a remedy attached, and whether it is measured at your site or across the whole network. Ask how PowerSharing divides power across a full row of chargers and what a resident sees when their session slows. Ask who answers a resident’s call at 2 a.m., what that support line can fix remotely, and how long a site visit takes in your city. Ask whether the chargers need Wi-Fi or cellular in the garage, and who pays for the connection. Ask for two references at properties of your size and age.

Alternatives

The multifamily EV charging vendors page compares the category on the same facts. Blink Charging offers host-owned, financed, hybrid and vendor-owned models with DC fast charging in the lineup. Pando Electric publishes prices for Wi-Fi-free smart outlets. EVPassport covers the capital and charges a monthly subscription. A full comparison sits on the page of ChargePoint alternatives for apartments.
