FLO Selects Averna for EVSE Production Test Design

November 14, 2023

Averna, an EVSE test equipment manufacturer, announced a collaboration with North American EVSE maker, FLO. The partnership aims to enhance the EV charging infrastructure in Canada and the United States, leveraging Averna’s testing expertise.

FLO recently introduced the FLO Ultra, a new DC fast charger designed to alleviate common challenges of EV ownership. The FLO Ultra charger, with its innovative design, features two high-powered charging ports in a single rugged aluminum enclosure. It can charge most EVs to 80% in 15 minutes with up to 320 kW available using dynamic power sharing and up to 500 kW with multiple electric vehicle charging stations connected together.

“This is one of the most impactful projects we have worked on.” says Daniel Wyatt, Averna’s Vice-President of Sales for Eastern USA and Canada. “Globally, we need to move quickly to limit emissions to the 1.5 degrees Celsius or 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit threshold by 2100. In the US, transportation is the largest source of annual emissions at 29%. In Canada, it’s number two. Working with FLO gives us the opportunity to help deliver fast, reliable charging stations with our test design. Getting their stations on the road makes it much easier for consumers to switch to an electric vehicle.”

“FLO is dedicated to offering the most reliable charging solutions to EV drivers, so working with Averna has been both extremely productive and valuable for our team.” explains Nathan Yang, Chief Product Officer at FLO. “Averna’s EV and power test expertise has allowed our team to focus on developing our products, while they take care of the tests. By trusting their vision and experience we can continue to deliver charging stations that meet our 98% uptime minimum, and EV drivers know they can rely on us.”
