Charger brand
Podformerly Pod Point
One of the UK's longest-running charger brands - simple 'fit and forget' hardware backed by a large existing installer base, now trading as Pod rather than Pod Point.
Pod has one of the longest track records in UK home charging - trading since 2009, long before “smart charger” was a category most buyers thought about. Its pitch has stayed consistent even through the recent name change: straightforward, reliable hardware with a large installer network behind it, rather than the tariff-integration or design-led angle some newer brands lead with.
This is a brand overview sourced from Pod’s own site, not a hands-on assessment of the company - see our editorial standards for what “checked” means on a page like this.
The current home model covered here is Solo 3S, in tethered and socketed versions. The current manufacturer sheet specifies a 6.5m fixed lead, while older retail stock may still say 5m. Check the supplied cable and warranty package rather than assuming every Solo-labelled offer is identical. Pod’s current home-charging range.
