About this app

Hi, we’re Pod. One of the UK’s leading providers of EV charging. Welcome to our new and improved Pod Point app – the app that powers more than 5 million miles, every day.

The Pod Point app serves all your public, workplace or home charge needs – all in one place.

With the Pod Point app, you can:
- Top up your EV while shopping or at the office
- Track your charging activity and energy consumption, both at home and on our public charging network in the stats tab
- Manage your power at home through solar or the grid
- Take advantage of low tariff hours by setting schedules

Remember, you can still collect Clubcard points when charging with us. Simply connect your Tesco Clubcard in the app to collect 1 Tesco Clubcard point for every £1 spent on charging using a Pod Point charger at Tesco stores.

Alongside a brand-new look and feel, we’ve got some serious technical upgrades. We’ve heard your feedback and been working to improve the EV charging experience.

But we aren’t done yet! Keep your eyes open for updates that will make EV charging as easy as possible.

Ratings and reviews

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THEIR NEW PODPOINT HONE APP. It will mean all control over your home charger is removed from this app. But you still need it for external chargers. You'll end up with 2 apps doing less than one used to. For example you no longer control time zones, and you can't switch it on for a set period of time. Poor especially when you use it for 2 vehicles. I called them they've never heard of it!! Said they would email and to reply with screenshots then hung up. They didn't email me. 😡

After working great for 3 years it's now almost useless for home charging. It charges randomly outside the off-peak schedule. I think this is because it can't contact their server. The charge stats aren't working either… sometimes they appear after a couple of weeks, but mostly never do. This is a problem with Pod Point's backend service, and I think it's because they have developed a new app and changed things. Update: now appears to be fixed. Still 2 stars due to lack of openness.

Only been using it for a couple of days but I can't see any problems, in fact it's really easy to use and has everything you need. Switching between charger off, Smart for timed charging and manual is very easy. Stats section calculates the cost of each charge and gives you costs per day, week, month and year.

What’s new

Nothing too groundbreaking today... We have a few bug fixes and map improvements as well as a few UI tweaks to polish it all off.

Don’t forget, you can still link your Tesco Clubcard to your Pod Point App! You’ll collect 1 Clubcard point for every £1 you spend on charging your vehicle with Pod Point chargers at Tesco stores.
