Powering your workplace EV charging with Pod

Introducing EV charging at your workplace doesn’t have to be complicated. With Pod, small businesses can roll out EV charging with confidence. You’ll get specialist expertise and a fully managed service designed to minimise disruption from day one.

From the very first conversation through to long‑term reporting and support, Pod takes care of every step. It all starts by getting in touch.

Designed around your business

Pod’s EV charging experts take the time to understand your organisation, your site and your charging needs. During the initial discussion, they’ll explore key considerations such as the number of drivers, preferred charger locations, charger types and any available information about your existing electrical infrastructure.

For more complex requirements, a full site survey can be arranged. This gives Pod’s specialists the opportunity to assess your electrical capacity, parking layout and wider site conditions in detail. Using these insights, they’ll design a solution tailored to your workplace and provide a clear, upfront proposal – so you can move forward with certainty and no unexpected costs.

Understanding your electrical set up

As part of the early planning stages, Pod also helps you understand how EV charging may interact with your existing electrical supply. Every site is different and, in some cases, minor electrical works may be required to safely support new chargers.

Any required electrical works are clearly identified upfront, with transparent guidance on options, timescales and costs. That means no surprises later – just informed decisions and a solution designed to work reliably for your site, now and as demand grows.

A fully managed installation, led by EV experts

Once your proposal is approved, Pod manages the entire installation process on your behalf. You’ll be assigned a dedicated Pod Project Manager who acts as your single point of contact, coordinating installers, confirming dates and keeping timelines on track.

Pod’s approved installation teams arrive fully briefed, with chargers delivered ahead of the agreed installation date. On the day, chargers are installed and registered to your site, followed by thorough on‑site quality checks. Once commissioned, Pod confirms everything is live, compliant and ready for use.

Seamless onboarding and ongoing support

Installation is just the beginning.

Pod provides a structured onboarding process for your workplace administrators, granting access to the Site Management Service (SMS) – a powerful, self‑service platform that simplifies day‑to‑day charger management.

Through SMS, you can:

• View usage and performance reports
• Manage drivers, access permissions and charging tariffs
• Track energy consumption, revenue and costs
• Monitor charger status in near real time

You’ll also benefit from a dedicated Account Manager, providing expert support as your needs evolve – whether that’s reviewing performance, adding new chargers or planning for future expansion.
