As some of you know, I recently had to make a trip over to Brussels to provide a presentation at a major EV conference there. Such is the life of an International Gasmobile Troll (agent 043). The most logical way to get home from the airport, of course, was a Tesla Shuttle!
The FLO Family of Companies has been manufacturing charging stations for about 10 years, and today operate the largest EV charging network across Canada. They have recently partnered with ChargePoint and now FLO members can roam effortlessly between the two networks across North America. And FLO’s home charging stations have just launched in the US for EV charging at home.
It seems that not a week goes by without a major OEM announcing their future plans for electrification, battery partnerships, EV charging infrastructure and partnerships, new EV manufacturing plant locations, and more. But often and upon further review and analysis of these announcements, we find that you need to add an asterisk to those statements.

The big news from Tesla in Q3 2018 is that the company was profitable for only the fourth time in its history. That was enough to send its share price higher in after-hour trading, but there was more good news.
UK energy storage provider Moixa announced its new GridShare AI platform to manage the world’s largest cluster of residential energy storage installations with 35 MWh across 3,500 homes in Japan.
What’s the first question people who know nothing about electric cars ask? Manufacturers should know and provide answers right up front, but they don’t. That’s a mistake.
