The Pod Point App provides complete control over your charging experience, with real-time status updates and easy scheduling features. While the app enhances functionality, the charger works perfectly well without it for simple plug-and-charge operation.

Note: The 5-year warranty applies to domestic Solo 3S chargers purchased at full RRP directly through Pod Point's website. Standard installation timeline depends on completion of pre-installation form and engineer availability.
