I have been experiencing issues with the rate of charge not getting above 4.3kWh (incidentally I know 2 people with the exact same fault who are also getting nowhere with podpoint). I contacted podpoint in April and they just employ stalling tactics such as checking the cars software and try again, check the cars setting and try again, check the schedule and try again. Each response takes over a week to receive and essentially nothing is being changed so the outcome is the same and it is partially irritating that I had already confirmed everything they asked.
As a result of the low output I am now forced to charge outside of my EV tariff hours which has quadrupled my charging costs.
My unit is around 2 years old and podpoint appear unable or unwilling to support any kind of diagnosis or resolution.
Looks like my only option is to pay for removal of the podpoint and fit a new unit from a professional company such as Ohme! Don’t waste your money with podpoint!
Update: 14/7/23. Despite the public reach out on another review site 2 months ago from Podpoint the reality is they are ignoring my emails. They have firmly blamed the vehicle manufacturer for the issues despite the issue being exclusively experienced on Podpoint chargers, and the unit charging the vehicle for the first 18 months of ownership.
Essentially they will mis-sell you a product that is (by their own admission) not fit for purpose, run you round in circles devolving any responsibility whilst failing to honour the warranty, and then ignore any attempt on your part to have the issue resolved.
Due to the low output I can no longer use my reduced rate hours to charge at home meaning my charging costs have quadrupled as a direct result! Hardly encouraging from a company they would benefit from EV uptake.
