How Customers Are Referred to Pod
Mercedes-Benz customers are referred to Pod through their chosen Mercedes-Benz Agent. Pod then manages the entire customer journey from consultation through to payment, installation and ongoing support. Every Pod Point home charger installed through the partnership comes with a five-year warranty.
Charging Tariff and Rewards
Once a charger is installed, Mercedes-Benz customers are able to charge overnight at a reduced rate through the Pod Power by EDF energy tariff. Installed customers can also enroll in the Pod Rewards program.
