EDF has successfully completed the acquisition of Pod Point, the London-based electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions provider.
This follows the Pod Board’s recommendation of the buyout offer from EDF in June, at which time EDF held a 53% stake in the business.
As a result, Pod has been delisted from the London Stock Exchange, effective from 4 August 2025, marking the completion of the transition to a privately held company.
This acquisition reaffirms EDF’s commitment to strengthening Britain’s energy security by accelerating electrification and helping its customers save cash and carbon, it said.
Pod recently launched its Pod Drive subscription offer, which cuts the upfront cost of a Solo 3S home EV charging system by more than £1,000, while also providing cashback on up to 7,500 ‘smart charged’ miles per year and a 48-hour service level agreement.
Pod’s new home as part of EDF will “strengthen its ability to develop and roll out Pod Drive to new and existing EV drivers”, it said.
Melanie Lane, CEO of Pod, said:
“Joining the EDF family today marks a new era for Pod and an opportunity for us to build upon our years of collaboration with EDF. We will continue to work closely with our wider ecosystem of partners and customers to deliver on our commitment to help busy households with all their charging needs, while supporting Britain’s electricity grid.”
Philippe Commaret, Managing Director of Customers, EDF in the UK, said:
“Pod has been a key player in the EV charging space and as a wholly owned subsidiary of EDF, will be well-positioned to thrive in a rapidly evolving market.”
