Pod has announced a payment partnership with Zapmap, allowing customers to pay through the Zapmap app at its public electric vehicle (EV) chargers.
Drivers can pay through Zapmap at 5,000 Pod chargers across 1,500 locations, including at Tesco car parks.
50,000 other chargers across more than 40 operators already allow payments through Zapmap.
Barry Adley, chief operating officer at Pod, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Zapmap to enhance the charging experience on our public network by giving drivers a new way to pay, testament to our mission to make driving an EV easy and accessible for all.
“This collaboration brings together two longstanding pioneers in EV charging, giving drivers trust and confidence that they have access to reliable charging when they need it on-the-go.”
The app allows drivers to view their charging history, view charger status and download recipts.
Matt Lloyd, head of charge point operator (CPO) networks at Zapmap, said: “Integrating Pod’s network into Zapmap’s pay functionality is a great result for both current and future EV drivers, delivering straightforward and accessible payment across one of the most extensive and widely used charging networks in the country.
“Destination charging is a vital part of the charging mix, with Pod delivering charging opportunities for people to charge as they go about their daily lives.”
