Pando Electric Pando 002A
Pando Electric Pando 002A is a Level 2 home EV charger from Pando Electric with up to 40 A (9.6 kW) output and a J1772 connector — networked smart charging, 2.3 W standby draw.
Our take
Pando’s second outlet-format entry in the 40 A class: like the 001, it certifies with no tethered cable, so the receptacle is the product and the cord set is yours to supply. It gives up some of its sibling’s idle advantage — 2.3 W of standby sits just under the 2.38 W class median, versus the 001’s 0.75 W — while keeping the networked design. Rated capability is class-standard: 9.6 kW on a minimum 50 A circuit, roughly 34 miles of range per hour, with 25 of the 29 EVs we track able to use the full rate.
- Best for: A networked smart-outlet install where the 001 variant is unavailable or mispriced.
- Trade-off: Triple the sibling’s idle draw, and still no cable in the box.
