I REVIEW THE ALL NEW FLO HOME X6 EV CHARGER

EV Channels Review

The reviewer thoroughly tested the FLO Home X6 50-amp EV charger over three weeks, highlighting its robust construction, particularly the cast aluminum enclosure on the X6 and X8 models, and its excellent weatherproofing (NEMA 4 rated). Key features praised include the long 25-foot cable, the option for remote connector holster mounting, and the smart capabilities via the FLO app, offering access control and charging data. The charger performed well in extreme heat and cold weather tests, with a notable operating temperature range down to -40°F. However, the reviewer noted the premium price point ($749) as a significant drawback, being several hundred dollars more than comparable chargers. While the cable flexibility in cold weather was deemed acceptable, it wasn't exceptional. The reviewer also expressed a preference for the connector design of previous FLO generations and criticized the mandatory use of FLO's software for Ocpp compliance, which could be an issue if FLO exits the market. Despite these criticisms, the X6 is considered a high-quality, durable unit, earning a strong 4.5-star rating.
