Pod Point Solo 3S FAQs
How much does the Pod Point Solo 3S cost installed?
The Pod Point Solo 3S starts at £999 for the unit. Typical UK installation adds £0, bringing the gross total to around £999. If you qualify for the £500 OZEV grant (renters, leasehold flat owners, landlords, or no-driveway homeowners via the on-street scheme), your installer deducts it from the invoice — net cost approximately £499. Standard homeowners with private driveways are NOT eligible for any grant and pay the full £999.
Is the Pod Point Solo 3S OZEV approved?
Yes. The Pod Point Solo 3S is on the OZEV approved list and eligible for the £500 grant when installed by an OZEV-authorised installer. This applies to all four active 2026 grant schemes — but eligibility depends on your housing situation, not the charger. Standard homeowners with driveways have NOT been grant-eligible since 2022.
Does the Pod Point Solo 3S support Intelligent Octopus Go?
Not natively. The Pod Point Solo 3S doesn't support Intelligent Octopus Go. You can still use it with the standard (less optimised) Octopus Go tariff. For best off-peak savings, consider Ohme, Zappi, Andersen, or Hypervolt instead.
Solar PV integration on the Pod Point Solo 3S?
No solar integration. The Pod Point Solo 3S doesn't actively divert solar PV energy. If you have solar panels, consider Zappi or another solar-aware charger.
Who's the Pod Point Solo 3S best for?
Best for: landlord, driveway.
