Our network of suppliers continue to provide the best service possible to our customers and drivers. This includes breakdown and recovery, daily rental services, accident management, replacement glass, maintenance and tyre services, as well as administrative support. Please be aware that some suppliers may have limited capacity due to impacts of changing employee availability, where staff are self-isolating or managing childcare commitments, and supply of parts.

Our charge point installation partner, Pod Point, has provided this update:

• We’re conducting remote risk assessments to identify installs that have a “Lower Risk” of COVID-19 transmission.
• Any installs that fall into the Lower Risk category will be eligible to continue.
• Installs that fall into the “Higher Risk” category will be paused until we can reclassify them as Lower Risk

For more detailed information, including an explanation of the remote risk assessment process, visit this page on Pod Point’s website: https://pod-point.com/electric-car-news/covid-19-coronavirus

This process is often referred to as ‘Statutory Off Road Notification’ or SORN for short. VWFS are asking customers not to SORN a leased vehicle which is currently part way through its contract; vehicles must also remain comprehensively insured (this is stated as a requirement in your company’s Master Lease Agreement) and road-legal. We do recognise that companies’ employees may be looking to reduce their Benefit in Kind liability during this period.
