The Future of EV Charging: How Pando Smart Outlets Eliminate Connectivity Hassles and Offer Adaptive Load Management

Pando Electric is revolutionizing how EV drivers charge their vehicles with its Pando Smart Outlet and proprietary ConnectUS platform. This cutting-edge technology eliminates the need for cellular or WiFi connections while ensuring maximum safety, efficiency, and adaptability through its Adaptive Load Management features.

No WiFi, No Cellular—No Problem: Tap and Charge with Pando

One of the standout features of the Pando Smart Outlet is its ability to operate without relying on WiFi or cellular signals. In traditional EV charging systems, internet connectivity is often required to start or manage charging sessions. However, in many multi-unit residential buildings, such as underground garages or remote parking areas, maintaining a strong and reliable signal can be challenging.

Pando Electric has solved this problem with its Tap-and-Charge system, which allows EV drivers to activate the charging session directly through the Pando mobile app using Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology. This eliminates the need for internet-based connections while providing a seamless, easy-to-use experience for residents. Simply tap your smartphone on the Pando Smart Outlet, and your EV will begin charging—no WiFi, no cellular, no worries.

Once the charging session is initiated, the Pando app automatically syncs data with the cloud when the device regains an internet connection, allowing for hassle-free operation and secure tracking of charging sessions. This technology ensures that EV charging remains simple and accessible, even in locations where WiFi or cellular service may be unreliable.

ConnectUS: A Revolutionary Local Networking Platform

At the heart of Pando Electric’s technology is the Pando ConnectUS platform—a robust energy management system designed to connect and control over 10 million devices through a hybrid cloud and local network architecture. The ConnectUS platform allows all Pando Smart Outlets and other energy devices within a building to communicate with each other via a high-bandwidth, low-latency, internet-free local network. This creates a highly efficient system for managing energy loads and optimizing performance, without the need for external connectivity.

What makes ConnectUS particularly powerful is its open ecosystem, which supports all major standards and protocols. This flexibility allows Pando’s system to easily integrate with other technologies, making it an ideal solution for properties that already have existing energy management or EV charging systems in place.

Beyond EV charging, ConnectUS has the potential to communicate with other high-power appliances and systems within a building, such as smart panels, HVAC systems, Solar panels, etc. further enhancing energy management capabilities. This local networking system ensures smooth operation, minimal downtime, and optimal efficiency, all without relying on the internet.

Adaptive Load Management for Maximum Efficiency

One of the most critical aspects of managing multiple EV chargers in multi-residential or commercial properties is ensuring that the building’s power system can handle the increased energy demand. Pando’s Adaptive Load Management system, powered by the ConnectUS platform, is designed to do just that.

With Adaptive Load Management, the total energy load of a building is dynamically controlled in real-time, ensuring that energy is distributed efficiently and safely across all charging stations and other ConnectUS power-consuming devices. This system is particularly useful in buildings where several EVs might be charging simultaneously. By intelligently balancing the load, Pando can help prevent electrical overloads, reduce overall energy consumption, and lower utility costs.

The local computation capabilities of the Pando Smart Outlet ensure that load management is handled efficiently, without the need for cloud-based calculations or external signals. This means that even if the internet goes down, the system continues to operate smoothly, optimizing energy usage and maintaining grid stability.

The Power of Intelligent Cloud Integration

Although Pando’s charging system operates independently of the internet, it also benefits from intelligent cloud integration. The Pando Cloud allows property managers and EV drivers to access powerful insights and control options, from real-time monitoring of energy usage to scheduling charging sessions for off-peak hours to reduce costs.

For property managers, the Pando property management dashboard provides a centralized control hub, enabling them to monitor the entire building’s energy health, allocate charging access to residents, set time-of-use (TOU) pricing, and even enroll in demand response programs that help stabilize the grid during peak demand periods. The cloud also allows for energy trading and participation in virtual power plant services, making Pando an integral part of future energy solutions.

Sustainability, Efficiency, and Cost Savings

Pando’s entire system is designed with efficiency, sustainability, and cost savings in mind. The Adaptive Load Management feature ensures optimal power distribution, while the Tap-and-Charge functionality eliminates the need for costly and unreliable internet infrastructure. Additionally, the built-in GFCI protection and universal NEMA 14-50 outlet provide enhanced safety and compatibility with all EVs, both now and in the future.

Pando Smart Outlets are built to last up to 40 years, offering property managers a strong return on investment, while the 70% reduction in installation, ownership, and operational costs makes it a highly attractive option for multi-unit residential and commercial properties alike.

The Future of EV Charging, Simplified

With its internet-free connectivity, adaptive load management, and ConnectUS platform, Pando Smart Outlets are setting a new standard for EV charging in apartments, condos, and commercial buildings. By offering a seamless user experience, cost-effective installation, and long-term energy management, Pando Electric is driving the future of EV charging and energy management, all while making it more accessible, efficient, and reliable than ever before.

For property managers and EV drivers alike, Pando’s innovative solutions offer the perfect blend of convenience, sustainability, and cost savings. The future of EV charging is here, and it’s smarter, more connected, and more efficient—thanks to Pando Electric.
