“The installer was a very nice chap, very tidy, on time and the installations looks good. The reason for the one star is simple: the pod does not work… 😳”

“Terrible communication and customer service. No reply to emails and I had to ring you to get things moving. Took over 4 months from purchase to get it installed. With hindsight I would not choose PodPoint again.”

“I recommend you look elsewhere for your Charging point. I purchased (my second) charging point from PodPoint in July 2020. I had moved house and left my previous charger at the previous property. The sales side of PodPoint is slick and efficient, but after taking my money I had to chivvy and push repeatedly to get the charger installed and even then waited 9 weeks until they delivered. When I then moved house they wanted £520 to move the charger - about 2x the going rate for the work required - but say they won’t honour the warranty for the actual charger if they don’t move it…. Now only just over 1 year since the charger was first installed, it has stopped working. Many emails and calls later, and 7 weeks on it is still not fixed. Imagine having a tough time to get petrol for 7 weeks. My conclusion is avoid this company.”

“Terrible customer support service. You pay everything upfront and it leaves you with no means of claiming absolutely anything. We have never experience this poor customer support, ever. They did not properly install the charger, then they cut the power to half to address the problem, and when the root cause was addressed the charger is inoperative again. 5 days since and no answer at all. Since they installed the charger we have spent 50% of the time charging at public chargers, which is not what you expect when you get an EV. Extremely dissapointing.”

“Paid over £1200 two months ago and still waiting for installation. 2 engineers arrived a couple of weeks ago, walked round the sucking teeth and havent heard anything from them since.”

“Shocking service from start to finish. Waited almost 7 weeks for my initial appointment. Was contacted a week before to say they had a cancellation, could they come and do it earl. I said yes of course. Engineer turned up, completely uninterested in actually doing the installation, came up with a load of nonsense excuses as to why he couldn't do it. Was contacted a few days later to say not only was my original date now not available and I would have to wait ANOTHER 4 weeks.....but they wanted to charge me an extra £165. Complete and utter rubbish. Don't waste your time with these jokers.”

“The initial installation appointment was cancelled by podpoint at the last minute. The next appointment was attended by the installer on time, but the installation itself was performed with little care for quality and respect for my home. After the installation was finished, I was unable to close the doors on my electricity box which is a feature of my entrance porch as the cables were like a rats nest. In addition, the pod point power cable needed to pass through the porch wall but no thought was given to the damage to the victorian brickwork surrounding the bespoke door. The isolator looks horrible on the wall next to my electricity box. The installer did not discuss his proposed installation with my wife who was working from home at the time. I am completely disgusted with the quality of the installation and will be contacting pod point to put everything right.”

“Paid for a lock for the pod point it wasn’t fitted the fitter said he accidentally fit the lock I paid for to the pod point he fitted before mine. I’m still waiting a refund. Shocking customer care!!”

“Job still not completed 3 1/2 months after paying - left with an unusable box on the wall. Installation was scheduled for 6 weeks after paying for the charger. The sub-contractor that Pod Point had allocated the job to did not complete the job in one go and Pod Point did not schedule the connection of the charger with a change of the consumer unit for another 2 months after the initial visit as the electrician did not bring a suitable unit with them on the first visit despite knowing that a replacement consumer unit was required. The installers then did not turn up for the connection appointment today, so I am left with an unusable box on the wall that is not connected having paid 3 1/2 months ago.”

“It is interesting to see that other reviewers have trouble getting through to Podpoint and that they fail to respond. We installed THREE Podpoints in July. Two stopped working in November and the third this week (early January). Despite calling or ringing (or both) almost daily for a month we have not got beyond "we will inform our engineers." With electric vehicles being the future, Podpoint needs to get its act together as this is NOT acceptable. It is a shame we cannot send them back and choose another supplier.”

“It took far too long from ordering the pod to having it installed. After much discussion, it was finally agreed that the Pod would be installed on Christmas eve. However, on Christmas Eve morning the installer 'phoned me to say that he'd only just got the assignment and he hadnt ordered the Pod! I pointed out that this wasnt my problem and that i was taking delivery of my car shortly after Christmas so I needed a charging point installed immediately. He eventually conceded that he had an "old style" pod in his van and, somewhat begrudgingly installed that. The quality of his work was slapdash. To add insult to injury, the pod has not been installed properly and only charges my new car (a Vauxhall Mokka e) at a rate of 8 miles worth every hour! Thats less than I could achieve plugging it into a domestic three pin socket! Looking at various comments on the internet, I assume your installer (who clearly didnt want to be working on Christmas eve) failed to set the pod correctly when he installed it. Can you please (a) arrange for the pod to be adjusted immediately to charge at the correct rate and (b) replace the old style pod that was installed on christmas eve with the new style pod that I was promised,”

“I found that the grant application challenging and little support was offered with this. However my main and substantial dissatisfaction concerned the cable installation between the charger (within our garage integral with the rear of the house) and our consumer unit (at the front of the house). The obvious path for this was through the attic spaces between these points, which after all is the route taken by the existing garage supply. I should have had an on-site inspection by Pod Point of the route, but in what was patently a money-saving exercise I had to upload a comprehensive series of photographs showing the proposed site for the charger, the consumer unit, the cable path, the earth bonding of water main, etc. This resulted in an email advising me that Pod points 'expert engineers' (ie electricians) would not enter the attic space, and the advice was for me to engage a local electrician to pull the cable. (In practice an impossible ask; it's difficult enough to locate an electrician without getting one on site to do the awkward job that Pod Point won't do, but not the whole installation job). The alternative offered was to have the cable installed in a conduit running through the house! (Eh? Mind you, the first three metres of plastic conduit (of something like 15 metres) was to be supplied free! In the end, at the age of 74, I, with the invaluable help of a younger neighbour, installed the cable myself.”

“Requires immediate full payment before you realize you will need to do the entire preinstallation assessment and survey yourself, making decisions without the necessary skills. The first appointment to install was cancelled on the day because the electrician was having problems charging his phone! Even with a full set of my photographs and diagrams, once the installation was completed, and switch on, the installer then informed me the bonding cable on the gas pipe was not up to current regulations (even though I had sent a photo), and switch the pod off again! 3 qualified electricians then all told me the cable complied because it was a safe existing cable and regs only apply to newly installed bonding cables. Cost me nearly £300 to get the cabling in place! During this time I received 5 emails all at once that were not for me! Lots of emails which I was then told to ignore. Getting truly annoyed I requested exactly what was required as proof once the new cable was in place and informed just a photo. I then received a call asking for an installation certificate and in the end Pod Point sent an electrician to visit and confirm. 3 months after paying for all this I, at last, got them to switch it on...... They blame covid for the lack of a preinstallation survey but that's rubbish as all this resulted in me having 5 visits from electricians anyway.”
