Mercedes-Benz UK names Pod Point exclusive home charging partner with £250 discount
By Eve
Mercedes-Benz UK has appointed Pod Point as its sole home charging supplier, offering customers £250 off the Solo 3S charger (reducing the price from £999 to £749) or a subscription at £27 per month over three years with no upfront installation fee, saving over £300 total. The package includes access to the Pod Power by EDF tariff at 6.49p per kWh during a seven hour overnight window, delivering annual savings of £345 for an 85 kWh CLA or £382 for a 94 kWh GLC 400 4MATIC compared to standard rates. Pod Point was selected for its flexible payment routes, tariff savings and customer focused approach after working with Mercedes-Benz UK for several years.
Why it matters: The exclusive partnership locks Pod Point into a major OEM channel and sets a benchmark for bundled home charging propositions that combine hardware discounts, installation and energy tariffs. For competing CPOs and installers, it signals how automotive partnerships are shifting toward integrated offers that address total cost of ownership rather than hardware alone.
