“Excellent. There was a slight delay. However, the car had arrived much quicker than anticipated and the installation area was slightly complex.”

“Up to the scheduling of the job I had to chase for updates on ground work costs. The installer was superb”

“My experience was good overall. My feedback would be firstly, when I went to pay it would not let me complete the payment, I asked if this could be taken over the phone but I was advised that I had to go onto another device send myself the link and complete it that way, secondly, I had to chase several times to find out when my scheduled appointment was. Finally, The technician that came out to do the pre survey and to complete the install was very polite, helpful and knowledgeable. He gets 5 stars. :) I was told I would receive some money back due to being charged 6 hours labour which was done in 2 hours, I look forward to my refund.”

“Engineer did a great job, no issues, minor nagging point with the wide scheduling window, would have preferred to be given a 2hr window, to avoid having to stay in waiting for the engineers arrival”

“Responsive and helpful communication. Scheduling of appointments was quick with relatively good availability. Installer was polite and efficient. Could have assisted with activation of the chargers WiFi. Have been unable to use the app to charger connection since charger was installed. Had initial delays to fitting (3 months) due to the age of my power supply. Pod Point made the necessary arrangements with the grid provider, unfortunately that dealing with the grid comps was less than straightforward and added significant delays to the process.”

“I received my Pod Point Solo 3 as part of a new EV car purchase. However, I had to wait a long time about 5 months between initial order and installation. This was partly due (approx. 1 month) to the BMW car dealership providing Pod Point with an invalid AG number. Also, as I wanted the EV charger unit to be fitted to the garage it was necessary for the input electrical cable to go underground in suitable ducting for about 6m of the 20m cable run. As I was quoted a high figure by Pod Point for the groundwork, so I decided to get the work done using my own contractor. This worked out at about a 1/3 of the quoted Pod Point price for the groundwork. I finally got my Pod Point Solo 3 installed on 26 Mar 2024. The installation work was done efficiently and neatly by the installing engineer. My Solo 3 works well and of course much faster than using a standard 3 pin plug.”

“On time and friendly. Explained how to use my charger. Made a bit of a mess and my only complaint is he didn’t clean up, or at least attempt to.”

“Firstly I want to thank Chris Key, one of the Pod Point Ltd., Homecharge Sales Executives. I'd looked at other wall charger types and when I became unsure during the online ordering process, Chris's support was a contributing factor in my decision to proceed. Ordering the product was very straight forward, although after seeing the key-lock and surge protection device fitted during installation, I think the price adder for these items is rather excessive. Installation generally went well, but I think the installer could have shown more care with the new product... Several times during fitting, the chargers plug was dropped on the driveway leaving it rather muddy and scratched upon completion. Also I didn't appreciate having to clear up after installation... screws, bits of wire, nuts and drilling dust, which was ironic given that I was shown power was at the charger using a vacuum cleaner. So far, since installation, I have no major issues. The wall charger appears to be working fine, although seemed to lose WiFi connection the same day Pod Point emailed me to say they'd checked it and were receiving a heartbeat signal every five minutes. I reset my router and now everything seems to be fine again. All-in-all, I would recommend this charger, it's slick and looks tidy. I hope in time, home wall chargers become more reasonably priced and get support for home owners.”

“They came to fit the charging point 2 days after booking, which was fast. Great fitting service from Zion. The only disappointment was that we were not made aware that PodPoint chargers are not compatible with Octopus' cheapest EV tarrif. It's about time the energy suppliers and charging point installers got together and sorted this out. As usual it's us customers who lose :-(”

“The person who came was very polite and efficient and completed the job in a short period of time. His explanation on how to operate it was very fast, like he was in a rush to get off. When he left, we noticed that the fuse box cover which he had fitted next to the podpoint was broken on the clip part so it doesn't close properly. Apart from this we are pleased with the service.”
