UK's largest free electric vehicle charging network opens its 500th location

The UK’s largest free electric vehicle charging network has expanded to 500 locations nationwide, as usage surged 300% over the past year.

Pod Point, in conjunction with Tesco and Volkswagen, launched the network in 2019, and have provided more than 41 million miles of free electric driving to motorists - the equivalent of travelling from Earth to the moon and back 85 times.

Free charging sessions on the network increased from 500,000 in April 2021, to more than two million by the end of February.
