Pando Electric is setting a new standard in electric vehicle (EV) charging for multi-family properties with its cost-effective and scalable solution. Designed to overcome common challenges such as infrastructure constraints, installation expenses, and maintenance concerns, the company’s integrated system leverages existing electrical infrastructure to deliver high-speed Level 2 charging.
Key Highlights:
- Utilizes existing NEMA 14-50 electrical sockets, reducing the need for expensive infrastructure upgrades.
- Compact and easy-to-install hardware that provides high-speed Level 2 charging without bulky equipment.
- Smart adaptive load management software optimizes electricity usage and balances energy consumption.
- Near-zero maintenance operation due to durable chargers and a bring-your-own-cable connection.
- Scalable solution that prepares multi-family properties for future EV charging demands.
“Installing EV chargers in apartment and condominium buildings presents a range of challenges including infrastructure, installation costs, power capacity, space constraints and changing resident demand,” explains Aaron Li, Pando Electric’s Founder and CEO. “At Pando Electric, we have tackled each of these issues head-on, creating a straightforward, cost-effective and fully scalable solution.”
Pando Electric’s approach begins with simplicity, utilizing readily available NEMA 14-50 electrical sockets that are standard in most buildings. By capitalizing on existing electrical infrastructure, the company significantly reduces upfront costs associated with expensive upgrades. The hardware is designed to be compact and unobtrusive, offering a high-speed Level 2 charging experience without the bulk of typical public chargers.
“Many of our multi-family property clients initially plan to install just one or two chargers,” Li continues. “However, once they see how affordable Pando Electric is, especially when paired with the incentives currently available, they often expand the scale of their initial installation.”
A cornerstone of Pando Electric’s solution is its adaptive load management software. This intelligent system dynamically allocates electricity demand across various outlets based on pre-set priorities, effectively balancing energy consumption with driver needs. “With our adaptive load management software, multiple Pando Electric sockets can seamlessly share power from a single electrical panel,” says Li. “This allows us to install up to ten times the number of outlets without any additional infrastructure costs.”
The software also offers additional benefits, including preventing capacity overload, enabling smart metering, and automatically scaling back charging during peak electricity demand.
In terms of maintenance, Pando Electric chargers have undergone rigorous testing, demonstrating durability equivalent to 40 years of average daily usage. The bring-your-own-cable connection eliminates the common issue of broken cords found in many public chargers, ensuring that adding more chargers does not increase maintenance workloads for building managers.
Li makes an analogy, “Most homes use NEMA 14-50 for connecting appliances like electric ranges and dryers. They’ll likely never need to be replaced; you can expect the same from Pando Electric outlets.”
With electric vehicles projected to account for over 40% of new car sales by 2030, according to BloombergNEF, multi-family properties need to rapidly expand their charging infrastructure. Pando Electric’s solutions are flexible and built with scalability in mind, ensuring properties are ready for the future.
“At Pando Electric, we’ve made it simpler and more cost-effective than ever to install EV chargers in apartment and condominium buildings,” says Li. “Our solutions are flexible, built with scalability in mind—ensuring your property is ready for the future as well.”
