Pod PointHead Of Sales - Leisure/License
Jun. 2015 - Dec. 2015London, United KingdomWe were one of the first charge point suppliers in the UK, and we are now leading the European market. Our engineers have 50 years combined experience in designing cars and planes, and we captured all of their brilliance in our first charge points launched in 2009. We are very proud that we develop all of our own products at the POD Hub, and don’t simply sell on other peoples units. It means that we are constantly improving our POD Points, and you can call us any time for technical help. We were the first company to launch a Car Charger for the Home; the first to develop a Network and a Live Availability map, and we are even helping Uk Power Networks to manage the UK grid load through our POD Points. We know how confusing this industry can be; what are kilowatts per hour? What type of cable is needed? And what is the difference between a fast and rapid charger? We are now actively talking to electric car drivers, trying to make the whole industry less confusing. For businesses, we have also launched the first lease option in Europe to enable companies to offer POD Points to all their customers and employees at a low entry price. We have our POD Point technicians out on the street every day proactively maintaining our POD Points, and responding to your requests. We are continuously looking for new ideas and better ways to help everyone get ready for electric vehicles. www.pod-point.com
