Power Hero’s Cameo Solves EV Charging Crisis in America, Now Accepting Investments

September 2025 delivered a major jolt of momentum for the electric vehicle (EV) market, with both new and used EV sales reaching record highs and signaling accelerating consumer adoption heading into the final quarter of 2025.

Cox Automotive reported that new EV sales climbed to an estimated 147,716 units, marking an impressive 44.4% increase compared to the same month last year. This surge pushed EVs to a record 11.7% share of all new vehicles sold in September, a clear sign that electric models are becoming a mainstream choice for more drivers across the U.S.

The growth was not limited to the new-car market. Used EV sales reached 40,569 units, rising 4.8% month over month and an impressive 75.6% year over year. This jump pushed used EVs to a record 2.8% share of the overall pre-owned vehicle market.

Together, these trends highlight a maturing EV ecosystem, one where new models are selling at record pace and the secondary market is quickly gaining traction. However, the EV charging landscape still suffers from many problems.

A groundbreaking analysis of one million EV charging station reviews, conducted by a Harvard Business School fellow and released in June 2024, reveals broad consumer frustration with today’s public charging network. The review estimates that drivers can successfully charge at non-residential stations only 78% of the time, underscoring serious reliability challenges across the industry. The research reveals facts about EV life, including reliability problems, price confusion, equity questions and commercial questions.

Most EV Drivers Continue to Charge at Home

Most EV drivers continue to charge at home, and this trend is shaping how people use and adopt electric vehicles. Home charging is simple, reliable, and fits naturally into daily routines. Drivers can plug in overnight, start each day with a full battery, and avoid trips to public charging stations. Cost is another major benefit. Residential electricity is usually cheaper than public fast charging, especially during off-peak hours, which helps reduce the overall cost of owning an EV.

While public charging networks are expanding and remain important for road trips and for drivers who cannot charge where they live, data shows that most charging still takes place at home. However, millions of multifamily dwellers are currently facing a large barrier to EV adoption, the lack of multifamily EV charging.

The Lack of Multifamily EV Charging: A Major Barrier to Widespread Adoption

As electric vehicle adoption grows, one critical challenge threatens to slow the momentum: the lack of charging access for residents of multifamily housing such as apartments and condos. While single-family homeowners can conveniently install chargers in their garages or driveways, millions of urban and suburban EV drivers do not have that option, creating a significant barrier to adoption.

For many renters and condo owners, charging at home is either logistically impossible or prohibitively expensive. Shared parking lots often lack electrical infrastructure, and building management may be reluctant to install chargers due to cost, permitting complexities, or perceived low demand. Without convenient access, residents are forced to rely solely on public charging stations, which can be less reliable, more expensive, and less convenient.

This lack of access affects adoption rates in dense urban areas, where EV demand is growing fastest. Potential EV buyers often delay or forego purchase simply because they cannot charge easily at home. This creates an equity issue as well, as lower-income households living in multifamily units are disproportionately impacted, limiting access to the benefits of EV ownership such as lower fuel costs and reduced emissions.

Solving the multifamily charging gap is essential to sustaining EV growth. Without accessible home charging for all residents, EV adoption will remain uneven, particularly in cities where most people live in apartments and condos. Expanding multifamily charging is not just a convenience, it is a necessary step toward making electric vehicles practical and attainable for everyone.

A ground-breaking company, Power Hero, is developing compelling and unique solutions to the problem of not enough multifamily EV charging while also solving the growing issue of disparate availability of public charging stations. EVinfo.net had the great honor of interviewing Esmond Goei, Chairman, CEO & Founder at Power Hero Corporation, to get more insight on Power Hero’s innovative offerings.

Goei revealed his own struggles with the lack of multifamily EV charging.

Goei said, “We had no chargers or sockets where I was renting. That meant I had to charge using public chargers which were few and far between, if they were even available. It didn’t take me long to abandon the idea of getting an EV.”

Power Hero’s Cameo™ Adapter Turns Any Level 2 Charger Into a Shared, Revenue-Generating Network Across America

Power Hero’s Cameo converts existing chargers and standard outlets into shared, monetized, cloud-connected charging resources. Its strategy avoids expensive new construction and aims to scale affordable access for 117 million multifamily residents. The system can solve many of today’s EV charging problems including lack of available chargers, reliability problems, price confusion, equity questions and commercial questions, noted in the Harvard Study.

Goei said: “I realized then and there that there were millions like me in the same situation and that America wouldn’t meet its EV adoption goals if we don’t make it convenient for apartment dwellers to charge where they live. To this date I do not own an EV until Power Hero makes it possible for me to conveniently charge at home. Hopefully that will be in Q1 2026.”

Power Hero’s innovative Cameo™ adapter allows any private Level 2 charger to join a shared, neighborhood-based charging network, creating a system similar to an “Airbnb” for EV charging. Property owners attach the adapter to their existing chargers, while Power Hero’s platform manages everything else, from discovery and reservations to secure payments. This converts idle chargers into steady income streams and expands convenient EV access for thousands of drivers.

On the flip-side, Cameo-enabled home chargers fill out the charging deserts where public charging stations are not economically viable and thus eliminates or at least reduces “charge anxiety”. Goei elaborates further that “according to a 2024 J.D. power study 84% of EV owners who charge at home use Level 2 chargers. That’s about 5M home chargers in communities across America. Imagine how comforting that would be for EV drivers if those chargers were available for rent like an Airbnb?”

Cameo offers instant monetization without the need for new installations or large capital investments. Its automated, cloud-based platform scales easily as more chargers are added, building a robust peer-to-peer network. Rather than investing in costly new stations, Power Hero leverages the millions of underused Level 2 chargers already installed across the U.S., addressing availability issues quickly and efficiently. By doing so, Cameo helps reduce charge anxiety, giving drivers confidence that a home charger is always nearby and even reservable in advance.

For drivers in urgent need of charging, Cameo provides a reliable safety net. Wherever there’s a Cameo-enabled home, there’s a potential lifeline, ensuring peace of mind and greater flexibility for EV owners everywhere.

Power Hero’s PowerPac™ Technology, mPower™ Roadside Assistance and ePort™ Level 1 Monetized Outlet

Cameo isn’t the only exciting technology that Power Hero is developing. PowerPac™ Technology, mPower™ Roadside Assistance and the ePort™ Level 1 Monetized Outlet are also in development.

PowerPac technology converts standard 120-volt outlets into faster 240-volt charging without construction, permits, or major upgrades. It enables scalable, affordable charging in apartments and HOAs and provides private, reliable home charging and revenue opportunities. The portable version can be charged during off-peak hours and used when needed in fixed or mobile form. More than two thousand California locations have joined the beta program ahead of a planned Q1 2026 rollout. Power Hero aims to reach more than six million rental properties in California and offers hardware sales, lease-to-own programs, and software subscriptions.

The mPower system uses the PowerPac platform to deliver mobile charging for drivers who run out of power and for events or on-the-go needs. It is designed to operate effectively in dense urban environments, including those in the Asia-Pacific region.

The ePort device transforms a standard electrical outlet into a revenue-generating Level 1 charger with cloud connectivity that supports availability viewing, reservations, and controlled access.
