Pando Electric says its approach is rooted in simplicity, starting with a readily available power source; the company's hardware utilises NEMA 14-50 electrical sockets, already standard in most buildings. By leveraging existing electrical infrastructure, Pando Electric substantially cuts the need for expensive upfront upgrades.

While installation costs are reduced, Pando Electric delivers a high-speed, Level 2 charging experience without the bulky, intrusive hardware typical of public chargers. Rather, the company’s hardware is compact, much easier to install and substantially more affordable.

Adaptive load management is another cornerstone for Pando Electric. Guided by pre-set priorities, this smart system dynamically allocates electricity demand across various Pando Electric outlets, expertly balancing energy consumption with driver needs.

The company’s software offers additional benefits: preventing capacity overload; enabling smart metering; and automatically scaling back charging during peak electricity demand.

Through rigorous testing, Pando Electric says its chargers have demonstrated durability equivalent to 40 years of average daily usage. Coupled with the company’s bring-your-own-cable connection, eliminating the broken cord issue that plagues many public chargers, building managers are assured that adding more chargers does not equate to new maintenance workloads.
