Flo's DC fast chargers across Canada now support GM's Plug and Charge. This means GM EV drivers can simply plug in their car, eliminating the need for apps or cards. Flo's technology automatically identifies the car, authorises charging, and handles billing.

"This partnership creates a seamless charging experience for GM EV drivers," said Mathew Palmer, director of EV ecosystems at GM Canada.

To use the feature, GM EV drivers link their Flo account with their myChevrolet/myCadillac/myGMC app and activate Plug and Charge. This technology, for GM EVs only, uses the CCS connector.
