Pod Point goes international with Spanish partnership

One of the UK’s leading EV charging providers has made its first move into overseas markets.

Pod Point has chosen Spain as the first territory in its international expansion, partnering with Spanish renewable energy specialists SeisSolar to sell its Solo 3S home chargers.

The deal will see SeisSolar, which works with large retailers, warehouses and installers, will take responsibility for the distribution, marketing and after-sales service of the Solo 3S units.

The Solo 3S is solar-integrated, enabling customers to take advantage of the Spanish climate and charge their EV for free at times with their solar panels. The charger has been modified to make it suitable to the warmer weather of the Spanish climate, with a polycarbonate exterior designed to last. The charger and associated app also allow owners to set charging schedules, allowing them to charge at the cheapest times.

Melanie Lane, CEO at Pod Point, comments: “Our entry into the Spanish market represents another important milestone in Pod Point’s strategy. Spain is an attractive market for Pod Point and one which we are well positioned to enter. We have a great launch partner in SeisSolar and will take advantage of their strong relationships with national retailer groups and large installer network.”

Miguel Navarro, CEO at SeisSolar, added: “The demand for electric vehicles in Spain has grown significantly over the last few years, and we hear first-hand that drivers are looking for a simple way to charge their vehicle and tap into renewable energy. Pod Point is bringing their home charging system to the Spanish market at the perfect moment and we’re proud to partner with them to offer drivers a solution for reliable EV charging.”
