We believe travel shouldn’t damage the earth, so we’re helping people adopt clean transport in their everyday lives.

We’re doing this by building a network of smart EV charging points everywhere drivers need them!

---

Pod Point is one of the UK’s leading providers of electric vehicle charging.

Since forming in 2009, we’ve provided nearly 100,000 charging points across the UK and Norway.

We have an extensive public network (aka the Pod Point Network) with over 3,000 charging bays at locations including Tesco, Lidl, Center Parcs and more.

We also work with major automotive brands including Audi, Nissan, Volkswagen and Hyundai, while our Workplace and Fleet customers include countless high profile companies like Skanska, Mitie and Pepsico.

Through our network of home, workplace and public charging points we have already powered over 158 million miles of electric driving.
