As electric vehicles become a mainstream choice for UK motorists, the demand for smart, sustainable and future-ready home charging solutions has never been greater.
Enter the Pod Point Solo 3S – a next-generation home EV charger that combines advanced functionality with a user-friendly experience, solar integration and the peace of mind of long-term reliability. Developed by one of the UK’s leading EV infrastructure providers, the Solo 3S represents a new benchmark for home charging.
Designed for the Smart Home of Today and Tomorrow
The Solo 3S is engineered not just for efficiency but for flexibility and sustainability. With homeowners increasingly investing in solar panels and smart home energy management systems, Pod Point has positioned the Solo 3S as a forward-thinking solution. At its core, the charger is solar-compatible, enabling drivers to harness renewable energy directly from their rooftops to power their vehicles.
The unit supports three intelligent solar charging modes, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of lifestyles and energy setups:
-
Solar-Only Mode: Charges your EV solely using excess solar energy
-
Solar & Grid Mode: Blends solar power with grid electricity when sunlight is limited
-
Schedule & Charge Now Modes: Lets users prioritize timing—ideal for off-peak charging or spontaneous top-ups.
Smarter Charging with the Pod Point App
Central to the Solo 3S experience is the Pod Point App, which brings real-time control and insights to the palm of your hand. Available on iOS and Android, the app lets users schedule charging during cheaper, off-peak hours; an increasingly important feature with the rise of time-of-use electricity tariffs.
Beyond scheduling, the app enables:
-
Monitoring of energy consumption and associated costs
-
Downloadable charging statistics for business or personal tracking
-
CO₂ emissions insights, allowing users to understand the environmental benefit of their EV usage.
This level of transparency helps drivers make informed, cost-efficient decisions while reinforcing the ecological impact of their switch to electric.
Safety First with Auto Power Balancing
While many EV owners worry about overloading their household power supply, the Solo 3S addresses this through Auto Power Balancing. This intelligent feature monitors your home’s total electricity use and dynamically adjusts the charger’s output to avoid overloading the main fuse. It’s an ideal safeguard, particularly in homes with older electrical infrastructure or limited capacity.
Compact, Durable & Installation-ready
Aesthetically sleek yet functionally robust, the Solo 3S has been crafted to fit neatly into any domestic setting. It’s available in both tethered (with a 4.8m Type 2 cable) and untethered (universal socket) formats, giving users the flexibility to choose based on their vehicle and charging preferences.
Specifications include:
-
Dimensions: 330mm (H) x 290mm (W) x 112–167mm (D)
-
Weight: 6kg (tethered), 3.5kg (untethered)
-
Durability: IP54 weather-resistant and IK10 impact-rated enclosure
-
Connectivity: Wi-Fi enabled for software updates and remote diagnostics
Pod Point also provides a streamlined installation process, including a comprehensive pre-installation survey. Most customers qualify for a standard installation, and when the Solo 3S is installed directly by Pod Point, it comes with a 5-year warranty, ensuring long-term peace of mind.
Built to Support the EV Revolution
The Solo 3S isn’t just a charger, it’s an investment in your EV future. Whether you already have solar panels or are considering them in the future, the charger is ready to scale with your evolving energy needs. Pod Point’s forward-compatible design ensures that you won’t need a new charger as your energy setup becomes more sustainable.
Additionally, the unit’s ability to receive over-the-air updates via Wi-Fi ensures it continues to improve over time, adding new features and maintaining compatibility with future EV technologies.
