Want to charge your electric car at home without shelling out over £1,000 upfront? Now you can!
Pod, one of the UK’s top electric vehicle (EV) charging providers (formerly known as Pod Point), has launched a game-changing home charging subscription called Pod Drive. It’s designed to make life easier and cheaper for EV drivers by removing the upfront cost of getting a home charger and even giving you cashback for charging smart.
What is Pod Drive?
Pod Drive is a monthly subscription service that covers everything you need to charge your EV at home. For just £40 per month, you get:
-
A Solo 3S charger (worth £1,149)
-
Professional installation
-
A lifetime warranty
-
48-hour repair guarantee
-
and up to £170 cashback every year just for charging smartly.
Big Savings From Day One
Until now, getting a home charger installed could set you back over £1,249 but with Pod Drive, it’s just £99 upfront, with the rest covered by the subscription. That means you’re saving over £1,000 right out of the gate.
Plus, by smart charging your car (letting Pod charge your EV at the best times for the grid), you’ll get cashback on up to 7,500 miles per year. That’s a sweet bonus worth around £170 annually, helping take the sting out of your home energy bill.
How Does It Work?
It’s simple:
-
Plug in your EV at home as normal
-
Set your target – for example, “fully charged by 7am.”
-
Pod charges your car smartly when electricity is cheaper and greener
-
You get cashback at 2.3p per smart-charged mile, up to 7,500 miles/year.
You still pay your regular energy bill with your chosen provider, but now, you get rewarded for smart usage.
Compatible with Any EV or Energy Provider
Whether you drive a Tesla, Nissan LEAF, BMW i4 or something else, Pod Drive works with any EV. And there’s no need to switch your electricity supplier, you keep your existing one.
More Than Just a Charger
Pod’s CEO, Melanie Lane, explains:
“Pod Drive takes the hassle and complexity out of going electric and removes significant barriers in the form of upfront costs…With over 250,000 customers already trusting us, we see Pod playing a leading role in the UK’s increasingly electrified future.”
This marks a big shift for Pod as they move beyond selling chargers to offering full charging solutions for busy households.
What’s Next?
Pod is gearing up to partner with major retailers and car brands to bring Pod Drive to even more drivers. Tesco and Mazda are already onboard and more names are expected soon.
So if you’re thinking about switching to an electric car or already own one and want a smarter home charging solution, Pod Drive might be the easiest, most cost-effective way to plug in and power up.
