“A critical issue arose that caused considerable stress as I struggled to resolve it on my own. After reading several positive reviews and recommendations, I decided to reach out to VEILFORTE.ORG, for their expertise. Their team responded quickly and clearly, eliminating long wait times and confusing communication. The support staff listened attentively and showed real patience as I explained the situation and my concerns. Their commitment to fully understanding the issue before offering a solution was evident at every step of the process, Their honesty and transparent communication really stood out. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable assistance..”

“Great service, with a charger installed and cabling needed around the back of my house. The ordering process was smooth; there was just a hiccup with the main booking confirmation form not sending, but it was resolved via email. The installation engineer was excellent and the I also received good customer service from William, before and after the installation.”

“Just be careful if you have one put on the wall if you live in a flat run by Sanctuary Housing, Podpoint will charge you .45p per kwh instead of connecting to your own smart meter in the block where you can get .08p per kWh.”

“Not great, in my experience to date. Signed up and paid the deposit on 10.8.25, then was out of the country for a few days. Completed the self-survey on the 23rd. and submitted it, pictures and all. Heard nothing. Rang. Put on hold for 20+ minutes and eventually hung up. E-mailed customer services. Nothing. I couldn't, in all truth, recommend it.”

“The people at Pod who take your money are good. Boy are they good. After twenty minutes of talking to an advisor I couldn't wait to shovel my cash into their account. And the engineer who fitted the thing three weeks later was brilliant. He was smart, cheerful, worked hard and tidied up afterwards. And he turned down a second cuppa, which is a rare thing. It was the people in the middle, the organisers, who spoiled the process for me. The guy who hung up on me 'cause I expressed disappointment at my 'two week' wait being extended to three. And the person who forgot to call with the new appointment date, leaving it entirely to chance whether or not I was at home when the doorbell rang. These people should try to get a refund for the cost of their customer care training, it's not working. Would I use Pod again? Probably yes, so much was good and the thing looks nice on the wall and works fine. Perhaps EDF, the new owners can sort out the dead wood in the office?”

“I found the experience very calm and informative. The engineer was polite and clean. He positioned the pod in the best place to ensure it did not look out of place. The whole process of installation was quick.”

“Nothing wrong with the Pod Point itself, but people should be warned, if you need any ground work done, DON'T ask Pod Point to do it. I was charged just under £1000.00 for a man to come and dig a small trench (using a spade, no other equipment) to lay a 2 metre pipe underground to run their cable. He took less than 2 hours. The excuses for the exorbitant costs - they use subcontractors, so have no control over the pricing and the contractor had to come a long way !!! I complained and complained and asked for them to reconsider, but to no avail. Basically ripping off their customers.”

“Extremely poor experience with misleading pricing and hidden charges. Ordered EV charger for £999 presented as complete installation cost, but Pod Point incrementally added £380 for "groundworks" and £200 for "extra labour" - total increased 58% to £1,579. Each charge was revealed only after previous payments made, preventing informed decision-making. Communication was poor throughout with week-long delays responding to emails and failure to provide VAT invoice for business purchase after 28 days. Installation route was misunderstood despite providing clear video evidence. "Standard installation" terminology is misleading when they know additional charges will apply. This appears systematic rather than isolated incident. Installation remains incomplete after paying £1,379. Have written a formal complaint to the company. If I don't receive a response within 10 days, I will be filing complaints with Trading Standards via Citizens Advice Bureau. The incremental charging approach is unacceptable - choose a company that provides honest upfront pricing instead.”

“Never use podpoint. Shocking service. Had my podpoint for 6 weeks and still not working. Mercedes recommends them but not sure why.”

“On star seems to be too generous for this company. Engineer booked but did not turn up to assess the job on 2 occasions. The call centre staff are very lovely but unable to action anything. The domestic project manger takes 5 days on average to respond to emails and will not take or return my calls. There is no consideration of booking appointments when I am available despite me giving them multiple dates. I am still waiting for my EV charger which I paid for 6 weeks ago. Appalling.”

“Abysmal service Abysmal service. Charger under warranty. I have been calling them for 48 hours as the charger does not work. I am just getting through to a call centre who are saying it is raised with our technical team, no engineer has taken the job yet! They can not tell me when someone will come out. They are literally doing nothing. I asked to speak to a manager and they just hung up the phone on me!!!”

“Absolutely useless. Worst organisation I have dealt with. No telephone number to contact them. Contact by email takes them several days to get back to you. The Pod Point charger itself is a piece of chunk. Parts constantly fail.”

“I just purchased a Pod Point which was delivered one week ago and after using it for a few days it broke and upon contacting Pod Point which is very difficult. Finally they want to send an engineer on the 2nd of April. I just purchased this a week ago and it got delivered installed And now I have to wait almost 2 1/2 weeks for someone to come round to have a look after just using it for a few days ridiculous.”

“Quick and efficient installation. The installer was very helpful in exposing the system and wider issues such as charging away from home.”

“It's now over 2 months since I ordered the home EV charger and I still can't use it. The initial process was straightforward and streamlined. However, Pod Point cancelled my installation on the day, then I had to wait weeks for the new installation date. Once the charger was installed they then said that I needed an inspection from Northern Powergrid. However it took a couple of weeks, and a few calls from me, before Pod Point finally got in touch with them. Once Northern Powergrid signed off the work Pod Point said that they'd activate my charge as soon as possible. It's now been days and it still hasn't been activated. It's really difficult to get in touch when you have a problem, staff rarely respond to emails or take days to reply and the call centre has really long wait times. I'd honestly avoid Pod Point if you're looking for a home EV charger.”
