A visit to Tesco isn’t just about the very reasonably-priced fruit and veg these days. That’s because the British supermarket colossus has built a rather impressive electric car charging network with Pod Point. Around 500 stores in the UK now have electric chargers installed with the units ranging from 7kW slow chargers to 50kW rapid chargers.
If you’re new to electric, you may have noticed them and wondered how they work? Well, wonder no more because Tom is here to explain everything.
If you want to charge at Tesco, first, you have to find a Tesco. Which actually isn’t that difficult. If you want to find one with charging, that shouldn’t be too difficult either, because roughly 500 Tesco Extra and Superstores should be EV friendly.
The charging stations themselves are run by Pod Point and were funded in part by Volkswagen. Thankfully, you don’t need to have a Volkswagen to use one - they’re open and available to anyone with an electric car.
Join Tom as he explains the process of using a Tesco Pod Point charger. If you want to know more, just visit our charging guide at Electrifying.com.

"Access the pod point app". That there in a sentence is what's wrong with electric vehicle charging. Every charger should accept credit card payments directly or a nearby kiosk. Shouldn't be necessary to load a phone up with umpteen garbage charging apps or have a wallet of RFID cards to do this.

@jameschapman4824 Год назад

In my experience of the chargers at Tesco many of them are used by people not actually shopping in the store. Which is why I'm so glad that they have started to charge for them even though it is pretty good value.

@MartinzW Год назад

I would prefer a more active system of, you plug it in, you can start charging normally for free for up to 10m, then, to keep charging, you have to scan receipt from Tesco in the app valued above certain amount to keep charging for another 30m, rinse and repeat - if not done, then the charge stops. Such system would be especially useful for rapid chargers. Store items bring in more money anyway and this way people will only be charging if they are active customers.

@djtaylorutube Год назад

@@MartinzW You'd think that Tesco could offer 50% off the charge value if you present a receipt over a certain value from the previous week's shop, or something like that. That's fair to everyone.

@chriss4949 Год назад

In 5 years, using an app to access a charger will be pre-historic. Contactless credit/debit is the only way.

Plug and charge is the better way, like teslas and a few other cars can now do no need to even get a card out (and less to go wrong with the charger).

We’ve been using the chargers at our local Tesco for around eight months. They used to be free but now they’re not. We have two EVs - a Fiat 500 and a new Niro EV4. We usually do our weekly shop on a Sunday and stick the car on a cheeky wee charge while we’re shopping. Because the chargers are relatively slow, we don’t get much of a charge while shopping but, as Tesco might say, Every Little Helps. Initially we didn’t understand how to use the Podpoint app properly so were getting the fifteen minutes charge and then it would stop. We now use the app and chargers regularly without problem. Except later in the day when the four chargers get very popular and are unavailable when we arrive. Shopping earlier helps - the early bird gets the charger! This video would have really helped us in the early stages of our EV learning curve, so thanks!

@blackrocket2000 Год назад

PodPoints @tesco are by far the easiest and best charge points around. If only all EV public chargers were this easy to use. And yes, they are no longer free, but rates are fair, and cheaper than my home tariff. So I use as often as possible. And at some Superstores parking is free up to 3 hours.

@devonbikefilms Год назад

The Podpoint experience for me and my eNiro was rubbish. I’ve had my charging cable locked into the charger after closing the charge in my app and removing the lead from the cars port. Two out of four uses at different sites. Their customer service was poor, took 45 minutes hanging on the phone to find out I was in a queue to get in the queue and when the lad on the phone couldn’t do a remote release, he just hung up. In the end I managed to release the cable by starting the charge again and setting the charge limit to less than the actual charge. It then stopped and released the cable. Hardly seamless. I cancelled my podpoint account and even that took twice as long as they promise it would because they kept emailing me “are you sure” emails and holding up the process. Overall they were very poor for me and I can see no point in supporting them.

@aakeister Год назад

A question about chargers. As a disabled person, I am looking at a BEV, but one thing I have noticed is that the majority of chargers don’t have any form of canopy , so plugging in and enabling the ChargePoint in winter rain/snow cabin be a problem for disabled people, plus many don’t seem to be well lit at night?

@billreynolds3227 Месяц назад

Another aspect is the weight of the cable, though I am getting the hang of it with my MG4.

@leesmart1971 Год назад

A friend of mine took his aged and poor-mobility mother to a Waitrose to do the weekly shop just before Christmas. Took quite a while due to her mobility issues and how busy it was. A couple of weeks into the new year he received a "charge notice" from the parking management company. They have ANPR on the entrance and exit to the car park that recorded them being there for 97 minutes. As the limit is 90, they got charged for parking beyond the allowed time. He was in a petrol car but the same car park has EV chargers so the same rule would apply. I'm not complaining, simply advising everyone that you need to make yourselves aware if there are any restrictions, because you will be liable for these charges if you exceed the time limits stated on signage at the store. They are private land and the store owners can levy a charge if they choose to do so, normally via a parking management company. He's waiting for his appeal to be reviewed.....

@paulinchris Год назад

It may be possible to register your vehicle at customer services, explaining the issue with slow shopping. This should exempt you from the time restriction.

@grahamcastle8189 Год назад

I've used podpoint chargers at several Tesco stores without problem although I'm less impressed with PodPoints bill proceedures that ringfence a chunk of your bank account and then take days to settle the bill and release the surplus back into youraccount.

@richardblakey3345 Год назад

Much easier access now they are charging. 28p/kWh is still reasonably cheap as a lot of cheapskates don’t want to pay anything. Many Tesco require you to enter a code on a device in or outside the shop which the staff on the till give you to ensure you have shopped in their store (locally that is if you are going to park for over an hour). Several I use have ANPR cameras which people may not realise if they don’t read the signs. Most seem to have a limit of 3 hours. I tend to go into the store buy some non perishable goods , pop around town and then get fresh food in shop before leaving. My Niro has a 240V plug in the car so I take my Halfords Cool Box and can keep the food cold even if I am there a while. Some struggle to give 7kW especially if you already have close to or over 80% charge.

@Joe-lb8qn Год назад

Even when they were free i never bothered using them since its only a few miles of charging not worth the effort. I could see me using one in extremis if there was a cafe so i could add 25 miles or so in an hour. Better if they went the Morrisons route of 50Kw chargers only. that at least gives you something decent for say 30 mins shopping. ETA very clear explanation.

@barriepotter3753 Год назад

My brother tried to use pod points a few weeks ago. It was as though they really didn’t want us to charge up. accessing the app, and getting to work was like going round in circles, we never got one to work. In this day and age it should be one click to get an iPhone connected. This was the only app I failed to get to work. With contactless tech it should be as simple as waving a card or phone at it, like I can do in any shop. They really don’t want you to use them.

@TheWinstn60 Год назад

Ahh the times I've used Stan-Myer! I don't bother anymore as I shop for about 1 hour and it was worth it for a little free charge. But now its not free which has got rid of the freeloaders who never shopped in store and just sat there on a conference call or something. But not worth it for me anymore sadly which is a shame for loyal shoppers. I still see the odd numpty rushing out for the coffee shop and unplugging the charger then plugging it back in again to get another 10 mins free charge. Don't get me started on the PHEV brigade!!! The system is ok but could be simpler

@CoasterRob 11 месяцев назад

@bryanduncan6178 Год назад

Most Tesco's have a Costa Coffee or own brand coffee shop, you can easily kill a couple of hours in there. Also, most Tesco's have WiFi, so if you are in a poor reception area just connect to that!

@grahamcook9289 Год назад

The Tesco Extra at Gillingham, Kent has a time-limit of 15mins outside of store opening hours. The store is closed midnight to 6am and on Sundays from 4 pm to 6am. I don't get it. They have a 50kWh charger x 2 so someone on a long distance journey might want to fast charge during their journey, which could be between midnight and 6am. The parking restrictions should have an exception for at least the fast charger to allow 24 hour use.

@juliandavies7890 Год назад

I charge at Tesco all the time as I cannot charge at home. I only live a two minute walk away from there. So I plug in and walk back home. Maximum 3 hour stay at most stores or £100 fine.

@sheldonv8 Год назад

I no longer use Podpoints because they aren't free but when I did want to charge on most occasions the chargers were ICE'd. . The store managers aren't the slightest bit bothered though because Tesco don't make money from charging. I go to Aldi now and use their free chargers.

I work for Tesco as one of their drivers and I am considering buying an EV but as I do not own a driveway thought I could charge it at my work like some of my employees do. Unfortunately recently most of my employees who own PHEV hybrids don’t charge at our store so much due to selfish RS3 or RR drivers using the charge points to park as clearly disabled spaces are being used people who are disabled and are now using charging points for their ICE cars to go in and buy vapes n energy drinks.

I’ve always maintained it was such a waste of the VW money (by way of the Dieselgate fine) to spend it on then free podpoint charging stations in Tesco. They should have put in 50kWHr chargers and EV drivers would have been happy to pay. 7kwhr charging for a 30 minute stay is almost utterly pointless. Such a wasted opportunity. Moreover the Tesco in Tavistock is very small - over the road is a much bigger Morrisons with a cafe etc. FFS why didn’t they put the chargers there? Usual lack of foresight and planning typical of the UK

Think infrastructure and battery technology has seriously got to improve if the government wants all petrol and diesel vehicles out of the showrooms by 2030! Honestly, that’s not that far away now! Far far too soon if you ask me! Everything just isn’t ready!

Question: Why charging a car at 50 KW is more expensive than charging it at 7 KW? My little head (cough) boggles; isn't like if when I am filling my bath the cost would be defined by how open the tap is as opposed to how much water I use?

@Electrifyingcom Год назад

It's because the chargers themselves are a lot more expensive.

@firstnamelastname9631 Год назад

@@Electrifyingcom Mmmmm... so, if I use a gold tap to fill my bath the water will be more expensive than if I use a metal tap? mmmm.... Wouldn't a fast charger allow to them to charge more cars than a slow charger? therefore selling more juice?

@SWR112 Год назад

Yes yes it’s the posh shopping centre and a M&S Car park at the back with another bigger Car park at the front on the centre. But I’ve watched six chargers that were empty for years then one or two would use them to now all six free chargers used constant. 😁 In fact I’ve had a interest in EV since 2010. I’ve noticed one EV in the car park a few times a month to now there was probably 20 pure EV Cars in a I’d guess was a 150 plus car park every visit. 😊

@richardjohnson5529 Год назад

This is why most people dont or won't want to change to an EV because charging stations should be like petrol stations you shouldn't need a phone App to find one. Can you imagine if this was how you found a petrol station.

@cannygrowabeard Год назад

If you’re in an unfamiliar area, you’re probably going to have to check a map to find a PFS, granted they’re just a BIT easier to identify than a charge point. For an area you ARE familiar with, you’d be unlikely to forget where the charge point is once you’ve visited once.

@grahamcastle8189 Год назад

Before there were petrol stations you had to buy petrol from the chemists.

@djtaylorutube Год назад

@@cannygrowabeard Although it's quite unusual to find petrol pumps out of service or that need a phone call to "command and control" to make it work, or use an app to pay or maybe not. General EV charging does still appear to be somewhat difficult to trust.

@richardblakey3345 Год назад

This is just the way podpojnt works as they are largely older chargers at Tesco. It is quicker than fiddling around finding your debit/credit card and entering the PIN before filling with fuel. Most chargers use contactless debit cards or branded charge cards. Many car manufacturers have charge cards you can use with multiple charging networks like my Kia charge card.

@hughmarcus1 Год назад

You’ve obviously never run a company vehicle on a fuel card. Insert card in the pump, select fuel (often 4 options) then a PIN, then the reg, then the mileage, wait for it to be authorised, remove card. Then you can draw fuel. 😉
