POD Point Open Network

If you are not in or near a government Plugged in Places region, you can choose to have your charge points added to the POD Point Open Network.

 

For EV drivers:

  • EV drivers pay a yearly membership fee of just £15 per year to be a member of the POD Point Network. This fee includes:
  • an RFID tag, providing access to all charge points that are part of the POD Point Network. Currently, most charge points are free to use, but some charge point owners may choose to charge for use.
  • a user login account where they can view their usage profile
  • call centre support line in case of any charging problems

Additionally, EV drivers can log into the POD Point website to view live availability of all charge points on the scheme.

Annual membership: £15

To join, please call 0207 247 4114 and ask to speak to Hannah Burton, who deals with all membershp enquiries.

For charge point owners:

Companies & boroughs join the POD Point Network and become an Open Network partner.
Network Partners buy and install charge points on their property, and provide electricity free of charge.
The vast majority of Network Partners are giving electricity away for free currently, to encourage use of the charge points. However, Network Partners can choose to charger users per hour.

Benefits of joining:

  • The addition of the charge points to the online Live Availability map. All charge points are publicised to the membership network to maximise awareness and usage of charge points.
  • Initial configuration of charge points to implement maximum charge time, optional billing, no return time, personal tag whitelist.
  • Customer support line for all EV drivers using your posts – so they call us instead of you if they have charging problems
  • Data fees – yearly data fees associated with the uploading of usage data, and sending of remote commands to charge points.

Currently, only POD Point twin charge posts can be added to the POD Point Network. We are developing the ability for solo charge and third party charge posts to be added to the network.

Annual membership: currently membership is free.

To join, please call 0207 247 4114 and ask to speak to the technical sales team, specifying you would like to purchase charge points for the POD Point Open Network.
