PANDO ELECTRIC'S EV CHARGING SOLUTION FOR APARTMENT BUILDINGS WITH LIMITED EXCESS ELECTRIC CAPACITY

EV Channels Review

This video explores Pando Electric's innovative solution for EV charging in apartment buildings, specifically addressing the challenge of limited electrical capacity. The system utilizes smart NEMA 1450 outlets, allowing residents to use their own portable EVSEs. A key advantage highlighted is the cost-effectiveness for property owners, as it avoids the installation of dedicated EVSEs and instead focuses on smart outlets with integrated power management. The review details the system's ability to distribute power through timed charging blocks, ensuring sufficient charge for residents overnight, even with limited capacity. While the current iteration uses timed blocks, future versions promise more dynamic load balancing. The use of high-quality, durable NEMA 1450 outlets with a lifetime warranty is a significant plus, addressing concerns about wear and tear. The system also incorporates individual metering for accurate billing. The reviewer praises Pando's approach for its simplicity, affordability, and focus on providing essential energy access rather than complex charging hardware, positioning it as a strong contender in the multi-family dwelling EV charging market.
