Cord Zero Socketed · from £979

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 and enjoy the tidiest look on the wall. See Cord Zero Socketed

A Cord installation expert ready to help Cord experts say

"Both are great choices, and the decision is usually aesthetic. 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. 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."

Save £500 with OZEV funding

We’re on a mission to bring affordable EV charging to homes across the UK, but did you know that you could be entitled to a further £500 off the cost of your Cord EV charger if you own or rent a flat, or live in a rental property?

Additionally, if you own or rent your property, and only have on-street parking, you could also be entitled to a £500 Grant.

With the OZEV grant - also known as the EV charge point grant - the government is helping owners or renters of flats to join the home charging revolution with more affordable costs! All you need to do is meet three simple criteria:

  • Live in a flat that you own or rent, or a rental property.
  • Have a private, off-street parking space allocated to the flat.
  • Own an eligible electric vehicle.

If you have on-street parking only, you need to meet the following criteria: 

  • Own or rent a residential property in which you live.
  • Have adequate on-street parking as defined by your local council.
  • Have permission from your local council to install a cross-pavement charging solution between your home and the approved parking space.
  • Will install a cross-pavement charging solution before having your chargepoint installed.
  • Own an eligible vehicle.
