IN BRIEF: Pod Point hails contract win with housebuilder Redrow

Pod Point Group Holdings PLC - London-based electric vehicle charging services provider - Wins a multi-year preferred partnership agreement with FTSE 250-listed housebuilder Redrow PLC. Pod Point has been selected by Redrow to provide EV charging infrastructure for the developer's England and Wales divisions, "which collectively build over 5700 new homes each year". "The deal builds upon the companies' close collaboration since 2018, during which time Pod Point has supplied 2,000 chargepoints to Redrow, driven by continued developments in local and national climate legislation. These regulations include the notable ruling from June 2022 that all new residential developments in England must have at least one 7 kilowatt charge point for each residence with a parking space," Pod Point adds. "The group now has commercial relationships with a growing number of the largest housebuilders in the UK," the company says, noting a similar deal with Barratt Developments PLC.
