This makes the Flo Ultra 320kW DCFC the perfect solution for public EV charging and it will play a star role in the electrification plans in Alberta.
The user interface is intuitive and easy to use, making the charging experience a breeze. And, with its rugged aluminum type 3R enclosure, you can be confident that the build quality is solid and well-suited for applications in parking lots with limited space.
