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

Avoid Pod Point unless you have access to a charger at work. The app shows loads of charging points and requires you to top up your account with money, which you can't withdraw. Only after checking did I realise many chargers were at private workplaces with no public access. Public chargers were either out of service or in car parks charging up to £10 an hour on top of electricity costs. Very misleading and frustrating experience. Plenty of chargers advertised, but very few you can actually use.

Looks simple and clean but actually the app's too basic. Simple tasks like setting times to charge have no guidance and you actually have no idea if it's going to work.

Basic functions are OK but try topping it up on the app and it's near impossible - it seems to be unable to solve the known issue caused by an interruption in the 3D Secure banking handoff. If this solved then it would be OK but sadly it's still an issue.

What’s new

We've heard heard your feedback - download this new version of the Pod Point app for bug fixes and other minor performance updates.

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.
