Mercedes-Benz has appointed Pod as its sole home charging partner with an exclusive discount available to all customers.

Pod has been working with Mercedes-Benz UK for a number of years. The charging firm was selected as sole supplier for its flexible payment routes, tariff savings and a customer-first approach.

The offer centres around the Solo 3S home charger, accompanied by access to the exclusive Pod Power by EDF tariff and Pod Rewards programme.

Under the partnership, Mercedes-Benz customers get £250 off a Pod Point home charger with installation included. This brings the standard price of (an untethered) Pod Point Solo 3S from £999 down to £749. Alternatively, customers who prefer no upfront costs can choose Pod’s subscription option. This drops the monthly price from £34 to £27 for a three-year term, with the typical £99 upfront installation fee waived entirely, saving drivers over £300 across the full term.

Once a charger is installed, the Pod Power by EDF dual-rate tariff lets customers charge at 6.49p/kWh during a seven-hour overnight window. For a Mercedes-Benz CLA owner, that means fully charging the car’s 85 kWh battery costs as little as £5.52, compared to £22.19 at standard energy rates. Over a year, that adds up to £345 in savings. For the Mercedes-Benz GLC 400 4MATIC, with its 94kWh battery, drivers could rack up savings of £382 over a year.

All Pod customers can also earn up to £100 a year through Pod Rewards, its smart charging programme. Drivers set a target charge in the Pod Home app, and Pod handles the scheduling automatically, optimising it to avoid peak hours and make the most of renewable energy. Pod Rewards can be withdrawn as cash once users have £10 in their wallet.

All Pod Point chargers installed through this partnership come with a five-year warranty as standard.

Jason Allbutt, sales director at Mercedes-Benz Cars UK, added: “Pod’s appointment as our home EV charger supplier helps us provide a seamless and convenient charging solution for customers, making the transition to electric mobility easier and more accessible than ever.”
