Multifamily dwellers, at nearly one third of the US population, rarely enjoy EV charging in 2025. Residents of apartments, condos, and townhomes—who make up 31.4% of all U.S. housing—often cannot currently access home charging solutions, and this is greatly slowing EV adoption in America.

Pando Electric’s Smart Outlet changes the multifamily EV charging game.
Thanks to Pando's Adaptive Load Management technology and Daisy Chaining installation setup, the costs of installing Pando's Level 2 Smart Outlets are now on par with Level 1 solutions.
Level 1 chargers often require minimal infrastructure, as they can be plugged into standard 120V outlets using lower-gauge wiring and less electrician time.
At first glance, Level 1 charging may appear to be the more affordable option due to lower upfront hardware and installation costs. However, Pando keeps costs low by intelligently balancing energy usage across multiple outlets, significantly reducing the electrical infrastructure upgrades typically associated with Level 2 installations.
One of the biggest limitations of Level 1 charging is its speed. Operating at approximately 1.3 kW, a Level 1 charger can take upwards of 100 hours to charge an EV from 0% to 100%. While this may suffice for daily driving—providing about 40 miles of range overnight—it falls short for drivers who need to charge their EVs quickly. This limitation often leads to range anxiety, especially for multifamily residents who rely on reliable and rapid charging at home.
In contrast, Pando’s Level 2 Smart Outlets deliver 9.6 kW of power (50% higher than the Level 2 standard of 6.6 kW), enabling a full charge from 0% to 100% in 8 hours - providing more than 300 miles overnight.
Pando' support of OCPP and CTEP also saves clients money.
CTEP, the standard that makes revenue-grade metering possible, gives the Pando Smart Outlet the potential to qualify for utility incentives to lower the $/kWh rate.
OCPP makes interoperability possible with all other chargers giving the property more flexibility if they want to switch providers (if one is failing them or going out of business).
No other smart charging outlets provide similar features. The Pando Smart Outlet is the only one in the market that does so.
Pando delivers 7x faster charging speeds, and ensures safety, cost efficiency, and durability with built-in protections.
