The Cord app puts you in control
Start, stop and schedule every charge from your phone, see exactly what each one costs, and make the most of cheap overnight tariffs. Included free with every Cord home charger.
The Cord app works with our 7.4kW home chargers. Portable chargers and the EVIRA are designed to charge without an app.
Charge on your terms
Four ways to charge, and none of them is a default: you pick whichever suits you, switch whenever you like, and decide exactly how much charge goes into your EV.
Plug in and go
Prefer zero effort? Turn on automatic charging and it starts the moment you plug in.
Schedule it your way
Set the charging days and times that suit you with the clock dial: overnight when energy is cheapest, on specific days of the week, or both.
Boost when you can't wait
Need charge now? Start a boost charge with one tap, whenever you need it.
Decide how much
Set exactly how much charge to add, so you never pay for more than you need.
Every charge, measured
Watch your charge live, then dig into the detail. The app tracks every session so you always know what your charging costs, and what it saves.
Energy added
See the kWh going into your EV in real time, as you charge.
Charging speed
How fast your car is charging, session by session.
Session duration
How long each charge took, from plug-in to full.
Cost per charge
The real cost of every session, calculated from your own tariff.
Carbon tracked
The CO2 of each charging session, so you can see your impact fall.
Usage over time
Energy, cost and carbon across weeks and months, all in one place.
Add your energy tariff (single rate, two-rate or multi-rate) and the app calculates your charging costs accurately, right down to each session.
Connect your car, see the full picture
Link your EV to the Cord app and your car's own data appears alongside your charger's, so you know exactly where you stand before you set off.
Battery state of charge
Your car's live charge percentage, straight from the vehicle to the app.
Approximate range
How far you can go on the charge you have right now.
Vehicle dependent: the data available varies by make, model and vehicle manufacturer permissions.
Made for cheap overnight tariffs
The app works hand in hand with off-peak and dynamic EV energy tariffs, including Octopus Agile, so your car fills up when electricity is cheapest.
Charge from 7p/kWh
Schedule overnight charging on an EV tariff and a full charge can cost less than a coffee.
Your tariff, your costs
Add your rates (single, two-rate or multi-rate) and every session is costed accurately.
Dynamic tariff ready
On Octopus Agile, charging can follow the half-hourly price so you make the most of the cheap slots.
