As California accelerates its transition to zero-emission vehicles, multifamily properties face increasing pressure to provide reliable EV charging infrastructure. However, many property owners and managers have struggled with the high costs and complexity of traditional charging systems. Pando Electric’s innovative solution addresses these challenges by offering high-power, smart Level 2 charging outlets at a fraction of the cost, with no ongoing maintenance required. This approach not only reduces upfront expenses but also ensures faster return on investment (ROI) and increased property value.
The CEC grant, awarded through the GFO-24-604 – Reliable, Equitable, and Accessible Charging for Multi-family Housing 3.0 program, underscores the importance of expanding EV charging access to underserved communities. By focusing on multifamily housing, Pando Electric is helping to bridge the gap in charging infrastructure, making clean transportation more equitable for all Californians.
Pando Electric’s project is further strengthened by strategic partnerships with Prospect Silicon Valley (ProspectSV), Redwood Energy, Community Boss, and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). These collaborations ensure high-quality installations and integrate cutting-edge property management solutions, enhancing the overall value for property owners and residents alike.
“This award reinforces what we’ve known all along: EV charging for multifamily communities doesn’t have to be expensive, complicated, or exclusive,” said Aaron Li, CEO of Pando Electric. “We’re proud to lead a project that makes reliable, scalable EV infrastructure a reality for property owners and residents alike while supporting California’s climate leadership.”
The deployment of these charging stations is set to begin later this year, with installations planned in both urban and rural communities across the state. For property owners, developers, and investors, this initiative presents a unique opportunity to future-proof their assets and meet rising tenant expectations with a proven, cost-effective solution backed by both public and private sector confidence.
