What do I need to charge my vehicle?
To use the station, you need to be a member of the FLO network.

• Create a FLO account
• Add funds to your account using a credit card
• Download the free FLO mobile app and/or order a FLO card via your account ($15 charge applies).

Having a card is more convenient, as it makes using the machine a tap and go. The network card has the benefit of providing the account holder with a precise summary of electricity used per session/per month. Maps of local stations are shown below. The card account can be preloaded with funds to handle stations that charge a fee.

How to use Level 2 chargers

Mid-Island Charging Network
Fifty-five Level 2 chargers have been installed in thirteen communities from Nanaimo to Campbell River as a part of the Mid-Island charging network. This network increases the connectivity across the mid-Island and is part of the environment that local municipalities are building to support sustainable living in their region. With the addition of this charging network, EV users in the region have access to net zero options for transportation.

This multi-year project was accomplished with the partnership of nine local government facilitated by the Community Energy Association and with the funding support of the Province of BC and the Government of Canada who shared the vision for clean transportation.
