■ POD Point slammed into reverse after orders of electric vehicle charging points were delayed.

The group, which installs charging points at homes and for firms including Tesco, said supply chain issues meant fewer electric cars were being delivered in the UK.

That has hit demand for its charging points, denting revenues. Pod Point said it expects to make a loss of around £7m this year and a similar one in 2023. Shares tumbled 5.5pc, or 4.2pc, or 72p.
