Your customers are asking new questions. How far will it go? Where do I charge it? What will it cost? EV buyers aren’t short on interest, but more often than not, the questions holding them back from choosing an EV aren’t about the car; they’re about charging.
The questions customers bring to the showroom
Customers worry that an EV will cost more to run, that it won’t go far enough and that they’ll struggle to find somewhere to charge.
Most of those worries have the same answer: a charger at home. The average UK driver covers around 20 miles a day, which a home charger tops up overnight while they sleep. Charging at home off-peak costs a fraction of the public network, where ultra-rapid charging can now cost more per mile than petrol.
The challenge for dealers is that these conversations are new. Sales teams are expected to talk confidently about tariffs, charging speeds and pence per mile, alongside finance, part-exchange and handover. When the answers aren’t clear, the customer goes away to think about it.
Turning the charging question into a sale
That’s where Pod comes in. We’ve been helping people switch to electric since 2009, with over 300,000 chargers installed and more than 6 billion miles powered. Backed by EDF, we work with dealers to make charging the easiest part of the deal.
With Pod Drive, your team has a quick conversation at the point of sale and refers the customer through our easy-to-use platform. We handle the quote, survey and installation through our nationwide installer network. There’s nothing to stock and no paperwork, and you earn additional revenue on every customer you introduce.
Your customer drives away with home charging sorted:
- An award-winning 7.4kW charger, compatible with all EV brands
- Which? endorsed installation, 24/7 support and a 5-year warranty
- Our exclusive Pod Power by EDF tariff, with 7-hours low-cost electricity every night
- Up to £100 back each year with Pod Rewards for smart charging
We’re rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot, with over 20,000 5-star reviews, so your customers are in good hands from handover to installation.
