Pod Point Group Holdings PLC said Thursday that it has signed a
partnership with Daimler AG's Mercedes-Benz to be its preferred
supplier of domestic electric car charging points to U.K.

The U.K. electric-vehicle-charger provider, which began trading

U.K. customers at the time of their electric vehicle purchase.
"As well as allowing for a more sustainable future, electric
vehicles are opening up new avenues for bolder and more progressive
designs and we're excited about the electrified vehicles
Mercedes-Benz will bring to market in the coming months. This
underpins our confidence in our longer term growth ambitions,"
Chief Executive Erik Fairbairn said.
