CCS In Larkhall has been flawless. Haven't been to any others yet.

Used their free 22kW ones in Tesco and paid for CCS in Lidl a few times. No problems so far.

Sorry - I'm not sure if this poll was for their home chargers or public charging points!

I got Pod Point to install my 7kw home charger but it was a long struggle, obviously enhanced by the current Coronavirus situation and even now, about 4 months down the line, I'm still waiting for repayment (expected this week) which will conclude the whole process.

It should have been all done and dusted way before now (even with the restrictions in place) and it's been me who has had to call them up every week, to get things done!

However, I've since found out that their 'planned' update to enable charging scheduling (one of the main reasons I went for Pod Point) is still not being rolled out which is soooo disappointing.

This might be useful. There’s a few more posts on timed charging. I understand that the Beta testing may now be closed - waiting with baited breath....

PodPoint timed charging?

I have a 7kw podpoint home charger. I know that this has been discussed across several posts and forums but can anyone recommend a way that I can set up a timed charge overnight between 12.30am and 4am to get cheap rates? My car has the 2nd gen bms. I’ve emailed podpoint and asked if they intend...

I was let down by a free 7kw Podpoint in the Summer of 2019 when it only added 6 miles of range in well over an hour.
As a result we had to move to charge the car on a different charger, overstayed at the car park and got a ticket which I had to dispute with the Sainsbury Manager before eventually getting it cancelled.
This is the portion of the video I made which covers that



The fact that it was free to use was irrelevant because if you need to rely on charging, then it's still super inconvenient if something goes wrong. Also the app was a bit unstable.
I scored Podpoint as average as a result of that experience.
