Sept 23 2025 | San Jose, CA — Pando Electric today announced the launch of the Pando Gen 2 Smart Outlet, a revolutionary EV charging platform engineered specifically for the complex realities of multifamily housing. With a design that eliminates the three biggest barriers to EV charging adoption: power constraints, connectivity issues, and maintenance failures. Gen 2 marks a major leap forward in electrifying the nation’s apartment infrastructure.

While traditional EV chargers often require costly panel upgrades, dedicated WiFi/Cellular networks, and ongoing servicing, Pando Gen 2 operates with none of those constraints. Each outlet intelligently manages building power loads, operates offline when needed, and features a modular design that eliminates maintenance.

“Multifamily buildings have been stuck with EV solutions designed for shopping malls and restaurants,” said Aaron Li, CEO of Pando Electric. “Gen 2 changes that. No WiFi. No upgrades. No maintenance. We designed Gen 2 to be the first charger that works with the building and its residents, not against them.”

Gen 2 introduces a suite of features that simplify both installation and use:

• No network dependency — operates even in buildings without WiFi or cellular
• Tap-and-charge access — residents activate charging with a phone, watch, or fob without the need for Wifi or cellular phone service
• Full-building load management — dynamically reroutes unused building power to EV charging
• Modular design — damaged cables can be replaced in seconds, with no electrician required

Unlike conventional EVSEs, which often cost tens of thousands to install only a small handful of stations, Pando Gen 2 is engineered to fit within existing electrical infrastructure. Install costs are up to 70% lower than traditional EV charging systems, with virtually no ongoing maintenance burden for property teams.

Pando will showcase the Gen 2 Smart Outlet capabilities at MOVE America in Austin starting tomorrow, ahead of the full rollout of upcoming Gen 2 installations. With Gen 2, Pando is not only removing barriers to EV adoption, it’s laying the groundwork for a future where buildings participate directly in the energy economy.
