FLO X3 vs FLO X6 vs EVduty: Which charging station to choose in 2026?

INTRODUCTION:
You've just bought your first EV — congratulations! Now comes the question every new owner asks themselves: which charging station should I install at home? As a certified installer based in Montreal for over 15 years, we have installed hundreds of these stations throughout the greater metropolitan area. Here is our honest and straightforward analysis.

THE FLO X3 — THE BEST VALUE FOR MONEY:
Manufactured in Montreal by FLO (AddEnergie), the FLO X3 is the best-selling residential charging station in Quebec, and that's no coincidence. Up to 30A (7.2 kW), it recharges all EVs on the market overnight. Wi-Fi connected, the FLO app allows you to schedule charging times to take advantage of Hydro-Québec's reduced night rates. IP66, tested at -40°C. Available J1772 and NACS (native Tesla). 3-year warranty. Price: starting from $699.

Our verdict: the ideal charging station for 80% of EV owners in Quebec.

THE FLO X6 — THE MOST POWERFUL:
Up to 48A (11.5 kW), which is 60% more powerful than the X3. The choice for large electric SUVs and pickup trucks with large batteries: Ford F-150 Lightning (130 kWh), GMC Sierra EV, Rivian R1T and R1S. Or if you have two EVs in the family. Same connectivity, same winter resistance. Price: starting from $899.

ELMEC'S EVDUTY — THE SAFE BET:
Produced by Elmec, a Quebec company specializing in industrial electrical equipment. No Wi-Fi, no app — 40A (9.6 kW) of solid and reliable charging for 15 to 20 years. The choice for those who want to 'forget' their charging station once installed. Price: $799.
