Frequently asked questions
Can I input my tariff details to log my charging costs?
Yes – in the Cord app you can input these for single rate, two-rate and multi-rate tariffs to accurately calculate your charging costs.
Can I override the randomised delay?
Yes – the randomised delay of up to 10 minutes is applied due to Smart Charging Regulations 2021, however you can override it by pressing the “play” button.
