Averna, a global test and quality solutions provider, announced a key collaboration with FLO, a North American electric vehicle (EV) charging company and a smart charging solutions provider.
The companies are developing advanced solutions to improve the EV charging infrastructure in Canada and the United States, using Averna’s test expertise.
“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%,” said Daniel Wyatt, Averna’s VP of Sales for Eastern USA and Canada. “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 recently announced the FLO Ultra, a new dc fast charger that reduces the typical challenges of EV ownership. With a simple but innovative design, the FLO Ultra charger features two high-powered charging ports in one rugged aluminum enclosure. It will 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 EV charging stations connected.
“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,” said Nathan Yang, chief product officer at FLO.
