Pod point failure
Our Pod Point Solo failed suddenly 1 year after the warranty expired. When we opened it, the plastic inside the unit had melted and the copper wire had been completely destroyed. All of the damage was inside the unit. Two independent electricians said it looked like a manufacturing or installation fault, not wear and tear.
Pod Point’s first response was to ignore the content of the photos and refuse to engage with the fact that the unit had burned internally and could have been dangerous. Instead, they tried to charge £190 for a “survey” plus £600+ for a replacement. After pushing back, they finally sent an engineer who confirmed the unit couldn’t be repaired and agreed it wasn’t wear and tear.
Citizens Advice told us this falls under the Consumer Rights Act because it’s a defect, not wear and tear, and our rights last up to six years. Despite that — and despite their own engineer ruling out wear and tear — Pod Point are still refusing to replace or even acknowledge the unsafe because the warranty has expired.
Pod Point aftercare is a complete joke, they hide behind expired warranties and upselling rather than doing right by their customers. It appears that when something goes seriously wrong with their product and try to profit.

Wall Charger not of Merchantable Quality
My wall charger failed within two months of the warranty expiring. Pod Point declined to offer any financial assistance towards the replacement wall charger on the grounds that the warranty was only twelve months.
When I produced evidence confirming their five year warranty, Pod Point made other excuses not to help with any financial contribution.
The wall charger is not of Merchantable Quality in my opinion. I will NOT be using Pod Point next time. Expect your Pod to last only the length of the warranty [not good for such an expensive outlay]. I do recommend thorough research before making a purchase of this nature.

I take from your reply, that your company policy is to deny customers their statutory rights.

After a great deal of back and forth with e mails/photos and videos the installation route was finally agreed. Installing was quick and easy, on time and completed hassle free.
Many thanks
Installation great but be wary of the remote survey
During the sign up process, I was asked to provide photos of my consumer unit and other associated electrical items which are located under the stairs. These photographs were provided, but the remote survey did not pick up on the fact that my main fuse needed replacing by my local distributed network operator. this added a delay of 4 weeks to the installation process, as when the engineer attended initially he identified that the main fuse needed replacing by the DNO. Once the DNO attended and replaced the fuse, the same POD engineer attended the following day to complete the installation. The installation itself was trouble free and the works carried out to my satisfaction. However, I would question the point of a customer providing evidence in the first place if the remote survey does not pick up on such an important point.
