Pod and Kerbo Charge have formed a referral partnership so that drivers with on-street parking who need both a cross-pavement channel and a home charger can obtain them in a unified way.
Kerbo Charge’s cable gully system runs a charging cable safely through a discreet, self-closing channel built into the pavement.
Meanwhile, Pod’s home EV charger, Pod Point Solo 3S, works seamlessly with the gully, allowing drivers to take advantage of cheaper home electricity tariffs.
Also, drivers can set a target charge in the Pod Home app, with Pod handling the scheduling automatically, optimising it to avoid peak hours and make the most of renewable energy.
Eligible drivers can currently claim up to £500 off the cost of installing a home charger through the government’s Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant for households with on-street parking.
Debbie Foley, Chief Revenue Officer at Pod, said, “The UK’s energy transition can only succeed if it works for everyone, and creates real benefits to people’s everyday lives.
“Right now millions of people are missing out on an affordable way to run an EV, simply because of where they live.
“Our partnership with Kerbo Charge removes one of the most practical barriers standing in the way, making it straightforward for drivers to make the EV switch, claim grants they’re entitled to, and start saving by living electric from day one.”
Michael Goulden, Co-Founder and CEO of Kerbo Charge, said, “This is a good news story for every driver that doesn’t have a driveway and wants to go electric.
“Now, through a few simple steps, they can request a cross-pavement channel from us, and an award-winning charger from Pod, all as part of the same streamlined process.”
