![]() ![]() ![]() I had two PLCs in service already before I plugged in the one for the FLO. It works fine, as long as you don't have other PLCs in your home already, which I did. You need to plug the PLC into an outlet in your home (directly into an outlet, not into a surge suppressor or power strip), then attach the provided ethernet cable to the PLC unit and plug the other end into your router. FLO doesn't use WiFi to connect the station, it uses a PLC (power line communication) device. Here's where the FLO is a little different from other connected EVSEs like the ChargePoint Home and the JuiceBox Pro 40. Once you've installed the unit, it's time to download the FLO app, create an account with FLO and connect the device. Attach the three wires from your feed, and then attach the front cover with two screws. You then secure the rear housing of the station to the mounting plate with one screw located on the bottom of the station. As mentioned above, this is a heavy unit, so make sure you have the mounting plate secured strongly to the wall. First you need to attach the mounting bracket to the wall. Installing the FLO is pretty straightforward. The JuiceBox made by eMotorWerks is the only other EVSE with a solid metal outer case that I've tested.Ĭurrently, FLO EVSEs are only available as hard-wired units, and a plug-in version is not available. This thing is solid, and weighs 25 lbs! The outer casing is made of solid aluminum and is NEMA 4X certified, meaning it is protected against foreign objects entering the unit, as well as water and damage caused by the formation of ice on the enclosure. The first thing you'll notice when unpacking a FLO Home is how heavy it is. ![]() They come standard with a 25-foot cable, which is notable since some other EVSE manufacturers charge extra for a 25-foot cable, and both stations are officially rated to operate in a temperature range of -40 ☏ to 122 ☏. Flo stations feature an ITT J1772 connector, charge at 240-volts, 30-amps and can deliver up to 7.2 kW. ![]()
