Pod Point network

Pod Point operates the Pod Point network, which aims to offer a charge point everywhere drivers park. The network focuses on fast charging options, with some slow chargers available and an increasing number of rapid charge points installed.

Many Pod Point units are free to use, although some incur a pay-as-you-go charge. All points are accessed via the Pod Point smartphone or web app. Rapid Pod Point chargers at certain Tesco locations have a contactless payment option.

How to use the Pod Point network

Pod Point has an extensive UK-wide network, which requires a smartphone app or use of a web app to access the units. You can sign up for a Pod Point Account for free, or alternatively use guest access. The network’s rapid chargers at certain Tesco locations have a contactless payment option.

Pod Point offers drivers 15 minutes to confirm a charge after plugging in. This means that drivers have the chance to get out of the rain or find mobile signal. Charging will start immediately but will pause after five minutes if the charge has not been confirmed.

All Pod Point points can be found on Zapmap by using the network filter. This can be used on desktop and mobile apps, and displays only those points available to use by Pod Point customers.

Charging types and speeds can be filtered too, showing only those points that are compatible with users’ cars.
