Pod Point agrees preferred supplier deal with Mitsubishi

EV charge point supplier Pod Point has struck a three-year preferred supplier deal with Mitsubishi, which will see the firm install charging units for feet and consumer buyers of the Outlander Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).
 
Erik Fairbairn, Pod Point CEO and Founder, said: “Mitsubishi Motors has been instrumental in bringing plug-in hybrid vehicles to the mass market. The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV was significantly ahead of its time and really set the bar in terms of plug-in hybrid technology. It’s fantastic to be working with the manufacturer of Europe’s best selling PHEV and of course we’re further excited about future electrified vehicles that Mitsubishi will bring to market.”

Dean Asplin, Product Planning Manager of Mitsubishi Motors in the UK said: “The Pod Point team impressed us with their knowledge of the market, the quality of their products - including the capabilities of the Open Charge app - and their commitment to customer service. We’re looking forward to working with them.”

Pod Point’s products range from homechargers to 150kW high power rapid chargers. Mitsubishi’s Outlander PHEV meanwhile is the world’s best-selling plug-in hybrid SUV, with cumulative sales of more than 140,000 worldwide.
