*We complete most installations in 2-3 weeks, however this is dependent on your home survey and installer availability in your area. See the table below for current lead times by area. During public holidays such as Easter & Christmas installations may take longer. In some instances additional electrical work is required by your DNO (Distribution Network Operator) which is out of our control and may delay your installation.

"We use only high quality, fully vetted and trained installers, and we complete all the legal pre and post installation applications and paperwork for you. If you'd rather not wait, or you'd prefer to use a local electrician, you're welcome to buy the charger without installation: simply de-select installation."The Cord installation team

Plug in your own cable and lock it from the app. Works with Type 1 as well as Type 2, so it suits pre-2018 hybrids like the early Nissan Leaf. Choose any cable length, swap it any time, and enjoy the tidiest look on the wall. The best choice if you want flexibility or share the charger between cars.
A 5m, 8m or 12m cable built in, so you grab, plug in and go. IP65 rated. The best choice if you charge daily and want zero faff. See Cord Zero Tethered
Cord experts say
"Both are great choices, and the decision is usually aesthetic. Untethered gives you more flexibility, particularly for two car households where a longer cable might be needed, and you can lock the cable into the charger via the app. Tethered simply means your cable is always there when you need it: just make sure you choose a length that futureproofs you for a second EV, so you never need to shuffle cars around to charge."
