When it comes to EV charging in multifamily housing, the biggest challenge isn’t resident demand — it’s electrical capacity. Most apartment and condo buildings were never designed to support dozens of EVs plugging in at once. Upgrading panels or bringing in new utility service can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, making charging projects financially impossible.

This is the problem Pando Pulse was built to solve.

The Multifamily Capacity Problem

Property managers and owners face the same barrier over and over:

• Panels are maxed out. Adding EV chargers often means costly electrical or utility upgrades.
  
• Residents are left out. Only a handful of chargers can be installed, frustrating tenants.
  
• Scalability stalls. Projects can’t expand as EV adoption grows, locking properties into outdated infrastructure.

Without a smarter way to manage power, multifamily buildings will continue to lag behind the EV revolution.

Enter Pando Pulse: The Brain of the Pando Ecosystem

Pando Pulse is an intelligent energy management system that turns building limitations into opportunities. Installed at the electrical panel, Pulse constantly monitors how much power the building is using in real time. Then, it allocates the remaining capacity dynamically across every Pando Gen2 outlet.

That means:

• No costly upgrades. Use the power you already have, just more efficiently.
  
• More chargers per building. Expand access to more residents without overloading circuits.
  
• Smarter load management. Balance EV charging with the building’s other energy needs.

With Pulse, a building that could only support 5–10 chargers before can now support dozens, all with the same electrical infrastructure.

How Pulse Works

Think of Pando Pulse as a heartbeat for the building’s energy system:

1. Measure: Continuously tracks real-time panel usage.
   
2. Analyze: Identifies unused capacity during off-peak demand.
   
3. Distribute: Dynamically adjusts charging power across outlets, ensuring every resident gets what they need.

It’s not just load balancing — it’s intelligent, adaptive energy allocation.

Why This Matters for Multifamily

For property owners and managers, Pulse is the difference between EV charging being a cost center or a growth opportunity:

• Lower Costs: Avoid utility service upgrades and keep project budgets lean.
  
• Resident Satisfaction: Provide charging for many residents, not just a lucky few.
  
• Future-Proof Infrastructure: Scale charging capacity as EV adoption increases, without tearing into walls or replacing panels.

For residents, it means reliable charging that always works, even as more EV drivers move in.

The Technical Edge

Pulse isn’t just smart — it’s built for real-world reliability:

• Real-Time Monitoring. Live data feeds ensure safe, efficient power distribution.
  
• Seamless Integration. Works directly with Pando Gen2 outlets for effortless scaling.
  
• Proven Efficiency. Extends circuit and panel capacity, unlocking charging for more residents.
  
• Standards Compliant. Meets NEC, UL, and OCPP requirements for safe deployment.

Pando Pulse: Unlocking the Future of Energy

Multifamily housing is too important to be left behind in the EV transition. By turning existing infrastructure into a flexible, intelligent energy system, Pando Pulse makes large-scale charging possible where it once seemed impossible.

For property owners, Pulse delivers more charging at lower cost. For residents, it ensures access that grows with demand. And for investors, it signals the arrival of smarter, more profitable building energy systems.

At Pando, we believe the future of EV charging isn’t about more power — it’s about smarter power. With Pando Pulse, we’ve built the technology that unlocks it.
