ONE OF THE UK ORIGINAL CHARGING PROVIDERS
HOW IS POD POINT LEVERAGING DIGITAL TO CREATE MORE CONVENIENCE FOR EV USERS ?
We recently integrated our Pod Point App to the National Grid Carbon Intensity forecast so as to indicate to EV drivers the optimal times to charge to reduce the carbon footprint of their charging , and thus driving .
The success of the Grid Business Unit will depend wholly on leveraging digital capabilities of our charging network to meet the requirements of demand side response markets of different kinds .
“ AS WELL AS THE “ FUEL ” COST SAVINGS , EVs HAVE VASTLY FEWER MOVING PARTS AND THUS HAVE SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS ”

HOW DO YOU EXPECT THE CHARGING LANDSCAPE TO EVOLVE IN THE COMING YEARS ?
With the need to move to zero emissions , EVs are going to win . Even without the 2035 ban , they ’ re the best cars we ’ ve developed and will soon be cheaper to make and drive than ICE cars . We ’ re going to need to install a lot of EV charging infrastructure . While the exact proportions across the charging ecosystem may be unclear , we will definitely require millions of home and work chargers , hundreds of thousands of destination chargers , and thousands of en route chargers . With so much scale to come , the future outlook for EV charging infrastructure is undeniably bright .
