The original installation went ahead as planned but you were unable to commission the unit until a bonding certificate had been provided. A certificate was provided (on 3 separate occassions) yet 8 days later I have still not been commissioned - despite over 20 lengthy calls (mostly sitting in automated queues or being bounced around until the call drops), numerous emails and various promises that it was going to be / had been resolved. This has to be one of the worst customer experiences ever and its still not resolved. The post installation service is a shambles. I am not sure this company actually knows what it is doing. Are they just pushing out units, taking public funding and then leaving users high and dry?

After using the charger for a month, I am pretty disappointed that the Solo 3 charger is pretty slow and not efficient with 6 hours of charging. the output is very low although I ordered a 7kW power rating I get around 3.4 or 3.5 Thanks Jai

This is a post sales, pre installation review. Communication is very poor. Despite having been paid £1200 it took a couple of days for any communication. I replied twice via return email, can't get through by phone and sent a message via the website to which I was promised communication within 2 days. They failed. Soon I will have no option bit to request my bank process a charge back and find another company. If anything changes I'll update this review.

Very poor responses to emails, and once arranged installation needed 2 visits. Charger ordered at same time as car, car was delivered before charger and I could charge car. Overall not a great experience

I paid on the first week of October for a home install, my second from them as well as units I have had fitted at my office and as of today 15/12/2023 my home one STILL does not work! Getting hold of someone feels impossible.

The whole process from ordering took far too long. Communications from the Pod Point team was / is exceptionally poor. I had 2 cancelled installations. Finally installed yesterday by a very nice installer. First charge last night but charger failed to fully charge my car

Has caused a huge inconvenience as the installation has caused my alarm to disconnect from the mains. Leaving me with no alarm until an engineer can rectify at a cost to myself. The cable is quite high and unsightly on the front of my house so I would have considered the position more carefully if this was shown before the installation.

Installation went well, installer was great- however, the podpoint won’t charge at 7kw on a schedule charge on my Q4 E-tron. Been on some forums and apparently this is a well known issue to podpoint- and should possibly solved with a firmware update and upgraded printed circuit board, but clearly even though podpoint know the make and model of my vehicle they decided to just install it as is without letting me know that there might be problems. Now I either have to spend ages charging slow, let them try to sort the problem (who knows how long that will take) or exercise my right to cancel in the 30 day cooling off period and get a charger that will work!! Likely going for the latter. Morale of the story- don’t get a podpoint if you’ve got/are getting a Q4 E-tron

I received a carpark ticket while parking in the Tesco in Eastbourne charging my car. I was in the Pod Point area and charge my car for four hours but was monitored entering and leaving the car park and received £100 fine.

Engineer arrived, rang doorbell then left extremely hastily! I phoned him a few minutes later… no answer. He went to his next job but refused to return to me after despite obviously now having a free space! Over an hour spent on the phone to pod point, on hold for most of it! Finally got a rebooking a week later and on the day we collected our EV car. This engineer was really good. However, 3 hours into the installation he said that we can’t use it due to our tails being too small! An upgrade is required, basically a smart metre will cure but he can not do that, our energy supplier must. Over a week on and we still can not use the charger as there are no free appointments in the near future to get this completed. So we have an EV that we can’t charge at home! All pictures etc were sent to pod point so they should have advised us of this issue before the installation… they did not! We have the charger installed that can not be used! I might contact pod point, spend another 45mins on hold and tell them to come and take the thing back and give me a refund. Terrible customer service on this and other issues that i can’t be bothered to explain. I would suggest avoiding.

Terrible service. Having waited three weeks to have home charger installed all pod point can do is give delays to installing or giving a date. We are still waiting. One thing after another. We have a new electric car and can’t charge!!! They make moving to an electric car a complete night mare. Customer service terrible. You can’t get through on the phone without waiting at least 30 minutes. Do not use them. We wish we did not have to deal with them but charger was arranged when we brought new BMW. We have no idea after 3 weeks how this is going to get resolved or when if we will get a charger.

The worst experience, paid for charger at the end of September, had to chase with no response to emails, delays in the site survey being completed despite completing the pre fitting questionnaire, again had to chase for fitting day, offered a cancellation slot and the engineer didn't turn up, waited 30 minutes on the phone to speak to someone to be told the engineer wouldn't be arriving that day. Asked to speak to a manager and still waiting for that phone call Engineer turned up on original date booked and the first thing he said was that he couldn't fit the charger where the plan had said and couldn't believe that the plan was approved Result order cancelled- 2 months waiting, no charger fitted worst company ever

Pod point doesn’t work - as soon as it starts charging it stops again. Not a problem with the vehicle. Support takes two weeks an answer an email.

They installed it last Wednesday, 10 minutes later it no longer worked, I called support twice, they said they would send an engineer and nothing. It's already 3 days. Their support doesn't work either and they lie to you! You should be ashamed to continue in the market providing a service of this level.

customer service is bad . In the past year I have had to contact them about various things. they nearly always dont know what they are talking about, firstly they remotely altered my charger from 7kw to 3 kw for no reason. then when I asked them to set it back to 7. they told me they would have to come out to commission it to get it back to 7kw and quoted me £250 for doing this. when the engineer arrived he said nothing wrong with it . they just need to remotely set it back to 7kw so he just phoned them and asked to set it back to 7. he was here less than 5mins. but they still charged me £250 to commission it which they did not do. Also I have recently had them fit some chargers at the back of some flats. before I purchased these, I asked several question about how it works for the tenants paying for the elec. It now turns out all the information they gave me wrong. I would never use them again

The worst after sales service ever. My Character stopped working 12 days ago. I phoned the helpline who made me go out in the rain to check that the circuit breaker is switched on and the lights on the charger is on. I told the person that there is no power on the charger and to send an engineer to please fix it. Cut a long story short. after 7 calls later and talking to a different person every time to give my details and go through the same test again. I eventually got through to Robert who asked me to take a video and send it to him. A new person emailed me and asked to show test the breaker again. When I replied to his email adding a video to prove that that the charger does not get any power the email referred me to the help app and start the whole process again for the 8th time. I think of asking Pod Point to remove the charger and install an opposition product.

We have now been waiting since 27th Oct for you to refund the £650 for not fitting the 22v charger . Absolutely disgusting customer service now opening a dispute with my credit card. Customer service do not answer the phones or reply to emails

Installer scheduled today didn’t turn up. No communication from anyone. When I called it took over 30 minutes in queue to speak to customer service who assured me installation would definitely take place today, but Engineer was delayed on previous job. Got a call about 30 minutes later to say engineer didn’t turn up for work! They could reschedule over a week later. I said that’s not good enough and want it sooner than that, promised to get back to me today and they haven’t. They have over £1000 upfront payment. I have an electric car on drive with no charge and no charger. Would have purchased a petrol car if I know it was going to be so much hassle. Took unpaid leave from work and spent the evening before moving all the storage boxes in garage ready for installation. Really disappointed ☹️
