Electric vehicle charge point maker Pod Point to seek London share listing

Pod Point is backed by French energy utility giant EDF

Electric vehicle charging infrastructure provider Pod Point, which is backed by French energy utility giant EDF, is planning an IPO in London as ambitious carbon emission targets in Europe drive a push toward cleaner transportation.

Pod Point will sell new shares in the IPO to finance its expansion, while some employees and investment firm Legal & General plan to sell existing stock as well. EDF will retain a majority stake.
