80 A pays off only if your EV takes more than 48 A on AC and your panel can spare a 100 A circuit; otherwise the X6 has the same rugged build.
Updated
- 80 A Max output
- 25 ft Cable length
- Wi-Fi Connectivity
- 5 years Warranty
Pros
- Up to 80 A (19.2 kW at 240 V), the most output of any charger we list
- Adjustable 6–80 A by rotary switch to suit a smaller circuit
- Type 4X aluminum enclosure, rated -40°F to 122°F
- Can share a breaker or daisy-chain with other FLO X6 or X8 units
- Five-year residential limited warranty
Cons
- Full output needs a 100 A breaker and 3 AWG copper conductors
- Hardwired only, and FLO's store lists it with a J1772 connector only
- We track no US store for it yet; FLO's own online store sells in Canada only
- No automatic load management
- Best for
- Owners of EVs that accept more than 48 A on AC, in homes with panel capacity for a 100 A circuit.
- Not for
- Homes without spare capacity for a 100 A circuit, or cars whose onboard charger takes 48 A or less.
Our verdict
The X8 makes sense for a narrow group: owners of EVs whose onboard charger accepts more than 48 A on AC, in homes that can spare a 100 A circuit. For them it delivers up to 80 A, or 19.2 kW at 240 V, the most of any charger we list, in the same aluminum Type 4X case as the X6, rated -40°F to 122°F, with the same five-year residential warranty and certification to the US and Canadian charger standards.
The circuit is the real cost. FLO’s install guide pairs 80 A with a 100 A double-pole breaker and at least 3 AWG copper conductors. If the panel can’t take that, a licensed electrician can lower the setting with the internal rotary switch, for example to 48 A on a 60 A breaker, though at that point the X6 does the same job. A car charges only as fast as its own onboard charger allows, so check its AC rating before paying for 80 A.
The catch: it is hardwired only, FLO’s store lists it with a J1772 connector only, and there is no automatic load management, just fixed splits when several FLO units share a breaker. So far we track it only through Canadian stores.

FLO Home X8 questions
What breaker does the FLO Home X8 need for 80 A?
FLO's install guide pairs the full 80 A with a 100 A double-pole breaker and lists 3 AWG copper (2 AWG aluminum) as the minimum conductor for L1 and L2. Lower settings use smaller breakers; a licensed electrician sizes the circuit to local code.
Can the FLO Home X8 run on a 60 A circuit?
Yes, at a lower setting. FLO’s table pairs 48 A with a 60 A breaker, so a licensed electrician can set the internal rotary switch to 48 A and fit the matching amperage label. The car then charges at up to 48 A, which the X6 also delivers, so on a 60 A circuit the X6 is worth comparing first.
Can the FLO Home X8 be used with a NEMA 14-50 outlet?
No. FLO sells the X8 as a hardwired unit only, installed by a licensed electrician. If you want a FLO charger on a NEMA 14-50 outlet, the X6 comes in a plug-in version, set to 40 A on a 50 A circuit.
Can the FLO Home X8 be installed outdoors?
Yes. Its aluminum Type 4X enclosure is made for indoor or outdoor use and operates from -40°F to 122°F. FLO recommends mounting the wall plate 39 to 45 inches above the floor, on a stud or solid wall, with 12 inches of clearance from other equipment, and not on or over a combustible surface.
