Pod Point are a very poorly run company and the customer service displayed has been shambolic. The only positive was the engineer who fitted the charger as he was a very helpful and did a great job but it's obvious his colleagues in the Scheduling team do not perform their roles as well as he does. I have sent 5 unanswered emails to pod point, i hadnt ordered the charging cable so the engineer arranged for his colleague to call me to discuss ordering one, the call never came. Now the charger is installed it doesn't work and I have raised this 3 times and had nothing in response.

I ordered the home charger from the Internet and when the two engineers arrived they fitted a destination charger that you might see at a hotel or council car park. It has no tethered cable for instant plug in. It appears I have ordered the wrong equipment. PodPoint should have advised me to have the tethered unit or at least questioned my choice. You don't have many products to concentrate on. I sent several photos showing that I live in family house. You sent me a holster but no cable to fit in it. Why did nobody say anything? I have requested a replacement.

The first engineer wouldn't install the charger as he said he needed the floor taken up even though I'd provided photos in advance as requested. I organised for the next installer after lots of phone calls. This installer also refused to do the work even though, again, everything had been discussed in advance. After multiple phone calls and many ignored emails and unreturned phone calls, I finally organised the 3rd engineer to come out. It took more than 2 months to get things sorted and I was pulling my hair out. Really bad service. They refunded the money in the end but I had to use street chargers for 2 months whilst waiting and wasted a lot of time making calls. I wouldn't use them again!

The first installer I had to argue with to do the installation and he didn't install the wifi. The second person was much more pleasant and he got the wifi working but it can be connected to from the pod point app. I've now got tonsoebd time arguing with pod point to send out another engineer

Even after supplying photos, it wasn’t until it was all fitted before the engineer realised I have a ‘looped’ connector and I now need to contact the national grid to look at it

I can’t link my pod point to my account.

Still waiting for it to be finalised after confusion over allowed resistance values for split vs combined Earths. Might be an idea to check prior to installation.

The service was abysmal, the worst I have ever experienced. Making contact with the scheduling team was a mission in itself and in every case I eventually did I was given the run around, made numerous promises, none of which were followed up on. They do not have a complaints procedure, or at least not that the staff knew of. I eventually had to contact Audi Complaints who tracked progress to get me a date for install. Even then they did not turn up so new date scheduled at which I was told that install could not take place ..... Finally, had the charger installed 6-8 weeks after it had initially been promised. My advice, go elsewhere for your EV charger !

Purchased the pod point lock, which doesn’t work. The engineer replaced shower fuses with the pod point fuse on the circuit board, now can’t use shower without it tripping the circuit board. This has meant that we haven’t been able to use our shower for the last 3 days. Engineer left a mess, he asked to use our brush as he didn’t have one, frustratingly we had moved ours to make space for the installation, so it wasn’t easily accessible. Not professional as you would expect a workman to bring all of their own tools. Overall very very poor service.

The technician did arrive on time. And he was technically competent. However, he left the debris, from the drilling, did not wound the cable, and did not understand that the podpoint was connected to my phone app. I am still not able to connect to my podpoint :(

Took weeks to get an appointment booked, finally got one, fitted fine, person left, now when trying to register it on the app says number not recognised, may be an old unit - how can a unit fitted on the day be old?! So emailed help desk 4 days ago, still no response

The information passed to the Centre wasn’t given to the engineer. The engineer didn’t call to say when he would arrive. I contacted Calum who advised that the engineer would call me. This didn’t happen. He then turned up without the necessary equipment to do the install (despite me giving a clear description to the office of the job). The engineer turned up very scruffy with no ID, and proceeded to advise how bad the pipe work was in our brand new house. He was due back the following day between 1-3. I was away for work and in an all day meeting so provided my partners number Incase of delays. The engineer didn’t contact my partner but turned up 90 minutes late! This totally disrupted his day and made him late for an appointment. The engineer then told my partner that he would make a mess but had nothing to clean it up so could my partner clean it?!?! There were no dust sheets put down in the cupboard (with a brand new carpet) or on the brand new monobloc. It was left for us to clean up! He then left without giving any instructions of how to use the charging point. The entire process was a complete shambles.

Endless delays, constantly being asked for same information again, engineer visit that failed to take the photos required, broken promises of dates & responses, constant chasing for answers - altogether dreadful service

The workmanship was very shoddy. We paid a lot of money for this installation. The installation team took short cuts across garage rather than cabling around the wall. Electrical cables not clipped down properly, left loose and dangling, or pressed (temporarily) into or onto brickwork. Did not fully utilise the upgraded supply unit that we had fitted specially upon Pod-Point instructions at signifciant expense. A few scheduling errors also meant the team did not turn up when expected so I had unnecessarily taken a further day off work, and had to rearrange the installation date.

Scheduling was very inefficient, although Stuart came through in the end. A mixture of wrong dates, sickness, unanswered mails which was very frustrating. Don’t say installation will happen in 10 business days when it clearly won’t. Friday’s not a good day to schedule as the engineers want to get home... really? Why do you make them travel so far? The engineer who finally arrived was excellent.
