Pod becomes EVA England's first ever home charging partner

Pod has partnered with EVA England, the independent voice for EV drivers in England, in a collaboration of two key organisations accelerating easy and affordable EV adoption in the UK. 

The ability to charge at home makes a major difference to a driver’s running costs and overall confidence in switching to EV. Nearly 90% of drivers with access to private parking and a home charger are finding their EV significantly cheaper to run than their previous petrol or diesel car.  

At-home charging is considered the easiest way to make the switch to electric totally seamless. It's also one of the areas those new to driving electric feel the least informed about - when EVA England asks drivers what would give them confidence to make the switch, advice on home charging was a recurring theme, and for EVA England members, better access to home charging products often comes up. Pod is proud to be EVA England's first ever home charging partner, providing its members with a simple, affordable route to getting their ideal at-home set-up. 

EVA England members can choose how they want to get home EV charging with Pod at a discounted rate: 

• Subscribe: Get Pod Drive with no upfront fee. The standard £99 setup cost is waived, and then a monthly fee of £34 for a three-year term.  
• Buy outright: Get £100 off the purchase price of a Pod Point home charger, bringing the cost of an untethered unit from £999 down to £899. 

Both options additionally include access to Pod Power by EDF and Pod Rewards, so that EVA England members have a fully integrated home set-up from day one, including an exclusive 5-year warranty.  

Pod Power by EDF is Pod's dedicated EV energy tariff, offering a seven-hour window of cheaper off-peak electricity every night at 6.49p/kWh. It means members can plug in before they go to sleep and wake up to a full charge, at the lowest rates available. For most drivers, it's one of the easiest ways to cut the cost of running an electric car. 

Pod Rewards goes a step further, paying customers up to £100 a year simply for smart charging. It works by automatically scheduling charging sessions during periods of lower grid demand, which helps balance the network and maximises the use of renewable energy. Members set their charge targets and Pod takes care of the rest, then the cash rewards land in their account. 

The discount deal extends to friends and family too, so EVA England members can share the benefits with those closest to them also making the switch to an EV.  

Both organisations share the same belief: that the shift to electric should be easy, affordable, and open to everyone. EVA England advocates for EV drivers and works to build a transport system that's cleaner, fairer, and fit for the future. Pod has been helping people make the switch to electric since the very early days of EV travel, with over 300,000 customers now trusting Pod to power their EV lifestyle - more than 5 million miles every day. 

Dr Vicky Edmonds, CEO, EVA England 

“We are delighted to be partnering with Pod to provide extra support for EV drivers across the country, especially at a time when we need to remind drivers of the real benefits of switching to electric - cheaper running costs and a more convenient refuelling experience. The driver experience is always at the heart of EVA England’s work, and our collaboration with Pod reflects this.  

“The ability to charge affordably and seamlessly is something our drivers raise as a priority time and time again, and we are especially pleased to be partnering with an organisation that puts accessible charging at its heart.” 

Melanie Lane, CEO at Pod, said:  

“EVA England has been instrumental in championing the voices of EV drivers and helping to shape the conditions that have enabled so many people to make the switch already. Our partnership is a natural match, rooted in a shared belief that the EV transition should be fair and accessible for all. We’re delighted to help EVA England members get the most of out of electric living, together.” 

The partnership launches as Vicky and Melanie both hit the stage at Everything Electric Greater London, speaking on the headline panel on the topic of what’s next for the EV and greentech sector, alongside other industry leaders.  

EVA England members will be contacted directly about the home EV charging offer in the coming days.
