Available for electric car owners in Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk, the subsidy reduces the charging unit to £225 with a year’s Source East membership, which provides access to public charging points, included for free.

POD Point’s home charging stations are usually priced at £375 plus installation, and allows owners to schedule recharging to the cheapest times of day or for homes with wind turbines or solar panels.
