Energy giant EDF has completed its acquisition of London-based electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions provider Pod Point.
The buyout follows the offer by the Pod Board in June, at which point EDF already held a 53% stake in the company.
As a result, Pod had been delisted from the London Stock Exchange, effective from 4th August 2025, marking the completion of the transition to a privately held company.
The acquisition will support the rollout of Pod’s EV charging solutions across the UK, including the newly-launched ‘Pod Drive’ subscription offer.
This cuts the upfront cost of a Solo 3S home EV charging system by more than £1,000 whilst also providing cashback on up to 7,500 ‘smart charged’ miles per year and a 48-hour service level agreement.
The company has installed 62,000 charging points in the UK and a further 6,600 in Norway so far.
Melanie Lane, CEO of Pod said: “Joining the EDF family today marks a new era for Pod and an opportunity for us to build upon our years of collaboration with EDF. We will continue to work closely with our wider ecosystem of partners and customers to deliver on our commitment to help busy households with all their charging needs, while supporting Britain’s electricity grid.”
EDF offers EV tariffs to customers, with its cheapest ‘Go Electric’ tariff claiming to save customers £316 a year compared to standard rates.
It also recently introduced a smart charging add-on, expected to save customers a further £239 a year.
All of EDF’s EV tariffs are backed by the zero carbon electricity the company generates itself.
