Pod partners with Jurni Group to make home EV charging simple and affordable for its customers

Pod has announced a new partnership with Jurni Group, one of the UK's leading leasing specialists.

Operating under its Jurni Leasing and Drive Electric brands, Jurni Group provides leading Salary Sacrifice, Business Contract Hire (BCH) and Personal Contract Hire (PCH) leasing services to drivers across the country. The partnership ensures that Jurni Group customers can access award-winning home EV charging at the moment it matters most: when they take on their new electric vehicle.

Getting a home charger sorted is one of the first practical steps for anyone switching to an EV. Upfront costs can feel like a barrier, and with the leasing journey involving decisions about the right car to go for, the last thing a driver needs is another thing to think about. This partnership takes that friction away.

Jurni Group customers have two ways to get EV charging at home.

• They can purchase a Pod Point home EV charger for £100 off, bringing the cost to £899 (for an untethered unit).
• Alternatively, they can choose Pod's three-year home EV charging subscription, with the usual £99 upfront fee waived - just a simple monthly subscription from day one.

Both options include a five-year warranty, Pod's 24/7 customer support and access to Pod Rewards, Pod's programme that pays customers for smart charging at home. By plugging in and letting Pod schedule charging when demand on the grid is lower, drivers can earn up to £100 a year in cash rewards, making the switch to electric even more affordable over time.

Jurni Group customers also get access to Pod Power by EDF, Pod's exclusive EV energy tariff. It offers a seven-hour off-peak window at 6.49p/kWh every night, giving drivers a low-cost slot to charge at home and making running an EV even cheaper day to day.

Pod has completed over 300,000 installs across the UK and holds a Which? accredited installation service, so drivers can charge their new EV with total confidence.

Ash Boaden, Senior Director of Business Development - Fleet & Lease at Pod, said:

"Leasing & Salary Sacrifice options remove so many of the barriers to getting into an EV, but home charging has too often been treated as an afterthought. Our partnership with Jurni Group changes that - whether a customer is BCH, PCH or Salary Sacrifice, they'll have a clear, affordable route to getting a charger at home sorted at the same time as their car. That's how choosing electric should feel: simple from day one."

Duncan Fitzgerald, Chief Operating Officer at Jurni Group, said:

"We've worked with Pod for a number of years through our DriveElectric business and our long-standing strategic partnership with EDF, so extending that relationship across the wider Jurni Group was a natural next step. Home charging is an essential part of the EV experience, and by making it simple, affordable and seamlessly integrated with our leasing solutions, we're removing barriers to electric vehicle adoption for businesses and drivers alike."
