Join the electric revolution
Electrify your community
Here’s your chance to embrace the future of transportation. Cities, towns, and villages can all benefit from this transition by deploying EV charging stations.
- Encourage EV adoption – Public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure helps reduce barriers to EV adoption for drivers without access to a home charger and helps people go where they want, in a cleaner way.
-
Achieve your sustainability goals – As the number of EVs on the road increases, your residents will enjoy reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improved air quality in their community.
-
Help local businesses thrive – Drive business to local retailers by strategically deploying EV charging infrastructure along commercial corridors and help the local economy.

CASE STUDY
Dufferin County: Leading the Charge in Rural EV Adoption
It’s not just cities that have to contend with greenhouse gas emissions. Take Dufferin County, Ontario, a collection of eight municipalities made up of more country areas than city ones. Their natural beauty comes with long distances between homes, shops, and municipal offices. And like many rural counties, public transportation is limited in Dufferin.
Power your community
Providing access to public charging solutions reduces the barriers to EV adoption and makes owning an EV more convenient. Curbside charging is especially helpful for residents of condo and apartment buildings who don’t have access to a home charger.
In-transit charging
Towns and municipalities located between two major cities can benefit from installing DC fast chargers. Data shows that installing EV charging station boosts annual spending at nearby businesses by up to 3.2%3.

Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve put together this list of more commonly asked questions to offer city leaders insights to support sustainable transportation and ensure accessible and reliable charging options for all. Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Why should I invest in EV charging infrastructure?
Investing in electric vehicles charging infrastructure helps support EV adoption, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and aligns with sustainability goals. It also provides economic benefits when installing EV charging stations alongside commercial roads, by attracting EV drivers to local businesses.
What types of EV chargers should be installed?
There are three main types of EV chargers: Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast chargers (also known as Level 3 fast chargers). Cities and municipalities need to decide which blend of chargers will best meet the needs of their communities: Level 2 chargers are common for public idle charging, while DC fast charging stations might be placed along highways or busy areas to attract long-distance travelers.
How can we ensure equitable access to EV charging for all residents?
One of the key strategies is to prioritize charging stations in low-income neighborhoods, and underserved or high-density areas, where residents may not have access to private charging at home. Municipalities can also incentivize private installations in such regions. Ensuring accessibility for people with disabilities should also be a priority in station design and installation.
How do we price EV charging for users?
Charging stations should follow a pricing structure that’s fair, accessible, and incentivizes usage. City leaders need to decide whether to charge per hour, per kilowatt-hour (kWh), or per charging session. Offering discounts for off-peak charging can also help manage demand and reduce grid strain.
How do we ensure the reliability and uptime of our EV charging stations?
Work with a vendor that offers durable and reliable EV charging solutions, like FLO. To maximize uptime, consider value-added services to help monitor your charging stations, so that broken chargers can be reported and repaired promptly. For complete peace of mind, the FLO Performance warranty guarantees at least 98% uptime and priority maintenance service from our expert team.
What funding or incentives are available to help us deploy charging infrastructure?
Federal and state grants, such as the federal government’s Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) Grant Program, offer funding opportunities. Additionally, utilities may provide incentives or rebates for EV infrastructure projects.
How do we plan for future growth and EV adoption trends?
EV charging infrastructure planning should take into account projected increases in EV adoption, which can be informed by local government policies, incentives, and technological advancements. Invest in scalable charging infrastructure that can be expanded as demand grows. FLO’s SmartTWO-BSR charging station is ideal for curbside installation and easy to scale. The master unit is equipped with a distribution panel that includes a dedicated meter along with all the hardware to host up to six breakers capable of feeding up to six units.
