PodPoint

[Ant M3]

Anyone else having issues with getting an install date? They seem overrun with work and are coming across very unprofessional with their communications on both email and the telephone. I’m on the verge of cancelling and going to Rolec

anyone else experiencing difficulties ?

Totally off the original topic but currently writing this from a Premier Inn in Beckton as down in London for a conference. The Premier Inn has three x 3kW pod points which customers can use for free
Think these are being rolled out to many of the Premier Inns and helps to negate the £8 daily parking charge.

Had a pod point changer installed last week, no issues at all. I think they sub-contract the install out so it will depend on your location and availability of subbies.

No issues with Pod Point either. Was around three weeks from order to install. Was pretty painless. There was a bit of a wait to get the install date.

I had to chase them a bit as they seem overloaded with work - people not returning calls etc. But I stuck with it, all installed and no problems. Very happy with end result, took just under 4 weeks from start to install.

I've been waiting for my sis in law to sort out a Schneider charger, guess I better order the podpoint today unless anyone has seen a better one for a few quid more?

Cool.

Not sure why pod point couldn’t integrate the charger docking in the centre of the main circular unit. Would have made the wall charger look a lot neater.

Anyone have a "non standard" installation?
My fuse board is under the stairs, I'd rather have it going through the stairs, under the boards and out the wall than have a cable going through the front room.

I know an electrician who could tidy it up after but would rather it was right first time and trying to get an idea of costs

When you go through the order process, they ask you for pictures of where you want the cabling. They should be able to price it up then.

Despite them asking for pictures of it, mine didn’t go anywhere near the fuseboard, it comes directly from the meter which is on the outside wall, about 4 metres from where the Pod-Point is.

Thanks, both mine are together though

I know this may have been resolved now but I've heard you need to order your Pod Point, then call them to basically pester them into an install date. We're ordering ours tomorrow so will update.

I ordered one about a week before Christmas and it was installed New Years Eve. So less than 2 weeks order to install with Christmas in between. I think it is a post code lottery as they are using subcontractors to do it.

Mine was a tricky install with the meter under the stairs not on an outside wall and needed an 18 metre cable run to get to the right part of the garage. Fair play, to them they did it at the price quoted and 6 weeks on, it is working fine with no issues. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others.
