‘Enhancing Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure: The Continuous Progress of FLO’

Manhattan's Ev Charging Sites Now Outnumber Gas Stations 10 To 1
The lack of charging infrastructure is a major barrier to entry for those looking to convert gas-powered vehicles to electric. Founded by Louis Tremblay, FLO is looking to build robust EV charging infrastructure that will create a reliable web for drivers to get to where they need to go. Since then, however, the company has raised more than $334.4 million and become Canada’s largest EV charging provider. “Hardware is important because it’s the infrastructure that lasts [and] software is to make a great experience,” said Tremblay. It seeks to keep chargers up-to-date and has a suite of charging software that provides valuable data to — and about — drivers.

Vibrant Planet looks to be one of those solutions. The startup digitizes land mapping and uses AI to help its users — fire departments and government bureaus — better manage land and also better prepare for potential climate incidents like wildfires. “[It’s] very collaborative with spatially overlapped plans.”Moving the mapping online also allows organizations to work together on land management solutions that work for everyone. “Vibrant Planet is a science and technology platform that is creating what we call a common operating picture for wildfire resilience and nature resilience,” Wolff said. And we’re using it in the natural resource management and wildfire resilience building space, because we have to, it’s very urgent.”
