Electric vehicle charging company 6509 POD Point has become an approved supplier of home electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions for 838 Nissan GB, the manufacturer of the Leaf electric car, which has sold over 12,000 in the UK.

POD Point’s new status as an approved home charging unit supplier means that anyone purchasing a Nissan plug-in vehicle will be able to easily access a charge point for their home.

The POD Point Solo is a reliable home charge unit which can be installed within ten working days. POD Point says EV users typically do 60 per cent of their charging at home and tend to charge at night when electricity is cheaper and allows them to return to their car with a full battery.

POD Point, which says EV drivers do around 30 per cent of their charging at the workplace, is now also able to help Nissan owners get charging points installed at their place of work and demonstrate the benefits electric vehicles can bring to their organisation

POD Point also partners with Carbon Footprint to offset the first 5,000 miles of electricity for each home charge POD Point installed, giving drivers time to consider switching to a greener energy tariff.

    Electric cars – do zero emissions add up?
    Buying an electric car may seem to be the green option when the energy label states Zero CO2 emissions. But that’s not the whole story when you factor in the electricity required to charge the batteries, and associated CO2 emissions created in electricity generation; the green benefits then become less clear. According to Vehicle Certification Agency (VCA), the latest Renault Clio 4, dCi 90 ECO, emits 83 grams of CO2 per kilometre travelled. In comparison the Electric Nissan Leaf, requires 173 Watts of elec
