I would guess that the majority of people on here wouldn't know who Pod Point were or what they supply.....

I'll hazard a guess based on the responses so far, that the answer to the OP would be no

Ah well worth a try - I'm sure more people will be getting electric vehicles in the future and wanting to know other people's experiences of home charging and recommendations for installers.

Pod Point get slated on review sites on a regular basis. It's a few years ago now but I used to run the installation network for Chargemaster. EVs have come a long way in the 5 years since I moved on and BP have acquired Chargemaster and made my old boss David Martell a very wealthy man. Not sure what their product or installations are like now but I recruited a really solid team of electricians and had a decent Customer Service team in the office to support them.

There are plenty of EV forums out there where you will get a more informed response to your question. I guess if you asked your Nissan Leaf enthusiast whether Drinkwater should come in for Westwood you will get a similar response to your Pod Point enquiry on here....

EV's.... Ah.
So it's not something to do with a Whale spotting contest. :(

The 7kw charger for my Nissan leaf was installed by Pod Point, great service and no issues.

I have used one of their public chargers once.
Only 3kw. Hardly worthwhile experience.
