Can my Solo charger be connected to a 3-pin-plug?

It can’t be connected to a 3-pin plug socket; the Solo charger needs to be connected to the main electrical supply so it can charge at a rate of 7kW. One of our Pod Point Experts will give you guidance on how and where the charger will be connected.
