First socket-based charger joins Open Charge Alliance

By Michelle Froese | March 17, 2025

Pando Electric, an electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions provider, announced it’s the first socket-based EV charging company to join as a member of the Open Charge Alliance (OCA) — fully supporting the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP).

The OCA is a global consortium dedicated to promoting open standards for EV charging infrastructure. OCPP is the most widely adopted open communication standard between charging stations and central systems, ensuring interoperability and compatibility across various charging solutions.

Pando Electric’s membership in the OCA marks a significant step forward for the industry, showcasing the capabilities of socket-based charging solutions.

The company offers a suite of innovative features that make it a strong fit for OCA membership. The Pando Smart Outlet is designed for universal EV use in multifamily properties, focusing on affordability, efficiency, and long-term reliability. 

 

Pando Electric’s proprietary technology allows cost-effective installations while maintaining high performance and reliability. By integrating the OCPP protocol, Pando offers more control, compatibility, and ease of integration with existing and future charging infrastructures.

Membership in the OCA opens opportunities for further collaborations and partnerships with global leaders in EV infrastructure, reinforcing Pando Electric’s position as a pioneer in socket-based charging. The company is set to bring innovative, standards-based solutions to the market that empower property owners, reduce installation costs, and create a seamless charging experience for EV drivers.
