A Pod Point charger for the home — the Pod Point Solo 3 — is one of the most widely installed 7kW units in the UK: a proven, no-drama charger with a simple app, available tethered or untethered, backed by a large national support and installer network.
Market context: Pod Point listed the Pod Point Solo 3 at £999 (Pod Solo 7kW untethered, including standard installation) in mid-2026. Prices change and your own quote depends on your home — get a quote for your property.
First, a disambiguation: searching 'Pod Point charger' can mean two different things. Pod Point runs one of the UK's largest public charging networks, but it also makes a home charger — the Pod Point Solo 3 — and this page is about the home unit and getting it installed at your property, not about finding a public Pod Point to plug into. (For the supplier-installed service, see our Pod Point provider page.)
The Solo 3 is a 7kW smart home charger that has been fitted on so many UK driveways that almost every installer is fluent with it, which tends to make booking and aftercare painless. You can choose tethered (attached cable) or untethered (use your own Type 2). It is smart-charge compliant, with scheduling and energy monitoring handled in the Pod Point app — deliberately simple rather than feature-stuffed.
Verdict: a Pod Point charger is the safe, mainstream choice — pick it if you value a proven unit and a big support network over cutting-edge features or premium design. If you want the deepest tariff automation choose Ohme; if you want design and solar, look at Hypervolt — both on our chargers hub.
The Pod Point Solo 3 is a standard 7kW single-phase home install by an OZEV-approved electrician — dedicated circuit, unit mounted, commissioned on Wi-Fi — typically 2–4 hours.
It is smart-charge compliant and eligible for the EV chargepoint grant where you qualify. Pod Point also offers a supplier-installed route; compare that on our Pod Point provider page before you decide who fits it.
The Pod Point Solo 3 is fitted by the major UK suppliers and by the independent OZEV-approved installers in our network. Pod Point also offer it on a supplier-installed plan — see the Pod Point install option.
This page is about the Pod Point home charger — the Pod Point Solo 3 you fit at your property. Pod Point also runs a large public charging network, but that is separate from the home unit covered here.
We quote each install per home. For market context, in mid-2026 Pod Point listed the Solo 7kW untethered from £999 and the tethered version from £1,049, both including standard installation. Your own quote depends on your property.
Both are available. Tethered has an attached cable for convenience; untethered keeps the unit smaller and lets you use your own Type 2 cable.
Yes. The Pod Point Solo 3 is smart-charge compliant and qualifies for the EV chargepoint grant where you are eligible.
It is one of the safest mainstream choices. The Solo 3 is among the most widely installed home chargers in the UK, so almost every installer knows it well and aftercare is straightforward. It is a dependable 7kW smart unit with a simple app — pick it for proven reliability and wide support rather than cutting-edge features.
A standard Pod Point Solo 3 home install takes roughly 2–4 hours: an OZEV-approved electrician runs a dedicated circuit from your consumer unit, mounts the unit and commissions it on your Wi-Fi. A more complex cable run or a consumer-unit upgrade can add time, which an installer confirms at the site survey.
