SalSac and Pod: Making Home EV Charging Simple Through Salary Sacrifice

Following our recent announcement of SalSac’s partnership with Pod, this update highlights how integrating home EV charging into a salary sacrifice scheme delivers added value for both employers and employees.

Making Home Charging Practical and Affordable

Home charging is essential for making electric vehicles (EVs) convenient and cost-effective. By including Pod Point chargers and installation in the salary sacrifice scheme, SalSac removes one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption, the upfront cost and complexity of installing a home charger.

Home Charging Made Simple

Through this partnership, eligible employees can add a Pod home charger to their EV salary sacrifice package. The cost of the charger and standard installation is spread across the lease term and paid via gross salary, offering additional Income Tax and National Insurance efficiencies. Instead of arranging home charging separately, employees benefit from a single, streamlined process covering both the vehicle and charging solution.

Flexible Options for Different Homes and Vehicles

Through SalSac, Pod offers both tethered and untethered home chargers at no additional cost, so employees can choose the option that best fits their vehicle and lifestyle:

• Tethered chargers: include a permanently attached cable for convenience.

• Untethered chargers: offer flexibility for different vehicles and cable lengths.

This ensures compatibility across a wide range of electric vehicles and household setups.

Installation, Support, and Peace of Mind

Standard installation is included in the salary sacrifice package, removing uncertainty about extra costs. Pod’s nationwide installer network manages the process from pre-installation checks to final commissioning.

All Pod Point chargers supplied through SalSac come with a 5-year warranty, providing long-term reassurance and reducing the risk of unexpected costs.

Affordable, Cost-Effective Charging at Home

Including a Pod Point charger in the SalSac scheme makes home charging much more affordable. Instead of paying the full cost upfront, employees spread the cost over the lease term through salary sacrifice. After tax and National Insurance savings, the estimated effective cost typically ranges between £500 and £800, making home charging accessible and budget-friendly.

This approach lowers the financial barrier to home charging while maximising the benefits of salary sacrifice, making the effective cost significantly lower than buying and installing a charger independently.

Supporting Employer Sustainability and Benefits Strategies

For employers, integrating home charging into salary sacrifice enhances the overall EV proposition and maximises the value of offering electric vehicles as a benefit.

By simplifying access to home charging, businesses can:

• Increase EV uptake across the workforce

• Support sustainability and carbon reduction goals

• Enhance employee benefits with a highly practical addition

• Reduce friction in the EV transition journey for staff

Removing Barriers to EV Adoption

This partnership reflects SalSac’s commitment to making electric vehicle adoption easier. By combining vehicle leasing and home charging in one salary sacrifice solution, employees can transition to EVs with greater confidence, convenience, and financial efficiency.

Integrated home charging with Pod Point is a practical step for both employers and employees to make electric mobility simpler, more affordable, and easier to manage.

Take the Next Step Towards Electric Mobility

Employers can enhance their EV benefits offering and support sustainability goals, while employees can enjoy the convenience and cost savings of home charging.
