A stable Wi-Fi connection is required to charge as you'll need it to use smart charging, access Pod Rewards and keep your schedule up to date. To connect, open the Pod Home app, head to Manage, select Wi-Fi settings and follow the steps. You'll find your charger's connection QR code on a sticker — usually on your fuse box.

Note: Pod Point chargers only support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.

It's easy, free and takes less than a minute.

Simply plug in, set the time you need your car ready by and how much charge you need. Smart charging builds a schedule around your energy tariff automatically — so you're always charging at the cheapest times.

Want more control? Switch to basic charging in Account → Rewards and set your own times from the dashboard. Subject to eligibility.

Pod Point chargers work with every electric and plug-in hybrid on the market.

Pod Rewards is our way of saying thank you for smart charging. Every time you smart charge at home, you earn cash back. Cash builds up in your Wallet in the Pod Home app, and once your balance hits £10 or more you can withdraw straight to your bank account.

You can earn up to £100 every year, just by doing what you'd do anyway.

To get started, add your bank account in Account → My bank accounts. And when you've earned enough, tap Withdraw and your cash is on its way — most payments land in your account straight away.

One thing to note — Boost sessions and basic charging don't earn rewards. Smart charging is where the magic happens.
