Catching up with our lucky Solo 3S competition winner

Posted by David: Oct 23, 2024 3 min read

Our Solo 3S giveaway winner shares his delight at his new home EV charger, as he tells us about his experience with it.


To celebrate the launch of our solar-integrated charger – the Solo 3S - we ran a competition back in May 2024 giving one driver the chance to win one for free.

As well as getting a brand-new Solo 3S, the lucky winner's charger was covered by 5-year warranty and received our outstanding Which? Trusted Trader Approved standard installation service.

The winner of the competition, Ben, said they were “pleasantly surprised to receive the news, as I rarely win anything!”.

Well, it’s been a couple of months since their charger was installed by our expert team, giving them plenty of time to get to grips with it and its smart charging features. And whilst we were sure they would fall in love with the Solo 3S, they were kind enough to get in touch and tell us exactly what it is they love about it:

It looks great

“The charger is compact, stylish and with a great design, which doesn’t look out of place on the front wall of my home.”

It’s easy

“It’s so simple to use. Simply pull the cable out of the holster and plug into the car!”

It’s reliable

“Every charge has started and finished reliably as per the schedule, so I can rest assured that my car is charged when I need it.”

It’s smart

“The Pod Point App has a simple interface which is clean and intuitive, with schedules to utilise off-peak rates from my energy supplier and usage charts and statistics, so I can check the cost and time of charges over set periods whilst also being able to stop/start charging from my phone.”

It fits in with the rest of his life

“The charger integrates into my life well, and I never have to worry about my car’s battery. The charger is simply effortless.”

It’s solar-compatible

“I don’t have solar panels at my home yet, but I’m glad to have the option to utilise the sun’s energy to charge my car once I invest in them!”

And there you have it – another satisfied EV driver who can now charge at home! Plus, they’ll be even happier when they eventually get solar panels installed, as their Solo 3S will allow them to benefit at times from zero-cost and zero-carbon charging with its easy-to-use solar charging mode.
