Buying POD Points
The POD Point is the next generation in electric vehicle charging for local councils and corporate clients looking to join the electric vehicle revolution.
POD Point offers a number of significant benefits over competing products:
Extremely low installation cost
Each POD Point can charge two vehicles simultaneously, which significantly reduces the effective cost per charging socket. Furthermore, POD Points have a built-in feeder pillar which reduces the ground works required for each installation. POD Point's use of industry standard foundations and electrical connections makes installation and connection extremely easy. Therefore, existing contractors can be used requiring minimal additional training.
Minimal increase in street furniture
POD Points require no feeder pillar, and can charge two electric vehicles simultaneously, thus minimising the increase of Street furniture at your installation site.
Multiple revenue sources
The POD Point system has flexible billing at its core. You can select to supply electricity for free to your users (and simply collect usage data), or you can implement a tariff based on time or energy used.
You can also use the POD Point for the collection of parking revenue.
If you choose to bill for POD Point usage, you can offer a range of pay-as-you-go and pay-monthly accounts for your customers. POD Points can also support pay-by-SMS (text message).
What's more, as your charging network develops you can change from one billing solution to another and thus keep with the market and maximise your revenue.
Advanced web-based management
All POD Points are wirelessly connected to the POD Point Communication Network. This allows real-time management of your units and users through our administration website. Through this website you can:
- Control which user groups can use your POD Points
- View real-time energy and usage statistics
- View historical energy and usage reports
- Manage users
- Manage your billing structure
- Introduce a more advanced billing structure
- Control the collection of parking revenue
- Remotely monitor and diagnose your POD Points
Maximum uptime
You want your charging network working as much of the time as possible. POD Points automatically inform us of any faults through our communication network meaning we can instigate maintenance the moment an error occurs. Furthermore POD Point’s unique foundation system means we can replace a damaged or faulty unit without needing to disconnect it from the power distribution grid. Combining these two features reduces downtime, keep your customers happy, and the countries electric cars charged.
Installation and Management.
With POD Point, you don’t have to install, manage and administer your own network. You can let us look after the rollout and running, and ongoing maintenance of your vehicle charging network thus minimising your resource requirements. Find out more...
