Lasted 4 years & even CEO doesn't care
Lasted 4 years. Paid over a grand and had faults from get go but their customer care is disgraceful. They'll do anything not to take accountability. I have the tethered version and they are trying to charge me £400 for a new cable - that coms from china! - or £600 for an upgrade even though they deem 4 years as acceptable usage for it to fall apart!
Needless to say I'll be swapping it out for a more reliable provider, which, speaking to the last 5 EV charger suppliers, is literally every other provider!
If you only need a super expensive charger for 4 years then I'd maybe consider this, especially if you like customer care advisers who don't speak English well, don't bother to resolve anything and defo if you like being fobbed off by CEO, Melanie Lane - if that's your bag then this is for you. Otherwise steer clear

Pod Point recently fitted an EV charger. The process to purchase was easy and I was able to get hold of them on the phone to discuss any issues. The engineer (Rhys) who came on the day was professional, quick and tidy. He took his time to make sure he explained everything and helped me to download the app and understand it as well. Would definitely recommend to anybody looking to get an EV charger.
Very helpful operatives
Overall, a very pleasing experience. Engineers were helpful and answered any questions. All is working well, so far!
I think it would be helpful to highlight those conditions that POD POINT will not be able to fulfil, I.e. “not working in a loft space/void and not working above 6’ before customers complete the survey etc.
We were very pleased with the advice and service given.
Poor Communication and unnecessary delays
I had to take 3 days off work to get the charger installed. The first time, I was only notified later that day, which may have been understandable, as things may have changed abruptly. The second time, after I was already given a time period and all that, I had to call the person as I was waiting all day. It was only then that I was informed it was not happening, and an email would be sent to me. By the third time, I was indifferent. The installation process was straightforward, but the lead-up to it was unprofessional.
