Pod and SalSac partner to offer home EV charging through salary sacrifice
New partnership gives drivers the option to spread the cost of a home EV charger across their vehicle lease term and save hundreds
Pod has partnered with SalSac to bring fully funded home charging into the heart of its salary sacrifice proposition for its network of over 280 employers in the UK, reaching an estimated pool of 25,000 employees.
Employees can now include an award-winning Pod Point Solo 3S home charger and standard installation within their salary sacrifice arrangement, spreading the cost across the vehicle lease term to make life with an EV more affordable.
Because payments are taken from gross salary, employees benefit from Income Tax and National Insurance savings, typically reducing the effective cost of a fully installed charger to between £500 and £800, depending on tax band.
Crucially, there is no upfront payment in getting a home EV charger through SalSac and Pod, removing one of the typical financial barriers to EV adoption for drivers.
Richard Quilter, Sales Director at SalSac, said:
“We’re proud to be partnering with Pod to further strengthen our EV salary sacrifice offering. Pod has an excellent reputation for quality and reliability, and we look forward to working closely together to deliver a seamless, five-star service experience for employees from installation through to ongoing support.”
As one of the leading EV charging providers in the UK, Pod has deep expertise in partnering with businesses to provide simple charging solutions, and has installed over a quarter million chargers to date.
Val Geary, VP of Partnerships at Pod, said:
“Salary sacrifice is emerging as one of the most compelling ways to get both an EV and a charging solution, and so we’re delighted to partner with one of the leading providers in SalSac. Home charging is central to the EV experience, and as one of the longstanding leaders in the market, we’re bringing Pod’s trust and expertise to SalSac’s customer base to support them through the switch to electric mobility.”
The option to get a home EV charger is now live for SalSac customers, and their employees can choose between a tethered and untethered charger, with no difference in cost, ensuring flexibility based on driver needs. All chargers supplied through SalSac and Pod come with an enhanced five-year warranty covering parts and labour, above the industry-standard three-year retail warranty.
