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

You choose

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.

Scheduling a charge in the Cord app with the clock dial

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.

Coming soon

Earn money when you charge, with Cord Flex

Packed with smart features

Intelligent scheduling

Prefer to hand it off? Raya, our smart assistant, can pick the cheapest times, the greenest times, or a balance of both.

Security locked

Only you can use your charger, unless you decide otherwise.

Cable lock

On untethered chargers, lock your cable into the socket so nobody can walk off with it, charging or not.

Live charging display

Plug in and watch the energy going into your car in real time.

Expenses, sorted

Reimbursed by work? Allstar and Rightcharge integrations pass your charging data across automatically.

Export to CSV

Download your charging history for expense claims or your own records. PAUA and TMC integrations coming soon.
