Cord’s home EV home chargers come with quick, convenient, and trustworthy installation so simple that Halfords has trusted them to be their exclusive home charging partner.
-
Instead of drip-feeding constant extra fees a standard £999 install includes everything almost all EV-owners need, including a survey of their property, a professional installation, testing, cabling, surge protection, and the charger itself.
-
7.4kW Type 2 charger is compatible with off-peak energy tariffs, and can be controlled with the Monta charging app.
-
It comes with IP65 waterproofing, dynamic load balancing, WiFi and 4G connectivity, and a five or seven metre charging cable.
-
Around 217,000 EV* owners do not have a home charger, losing them an average of £92** a month in potential savings.
EV charging company Cord is eager to lift standards across the industry with its hassle-free standard installation plan for EV chargers.
The company was set up after its founders saw the poor service so many new EV drivers experienced when they went to book a home charger installation, with wait times stretching out into months, complicated self-assessments of their property, and an array of extra charges added on.
This has undoubtedly contributed to the shocking 217,000 EV owners Cord estimates have no home charger installed*.
Cord addresses this by offering a simple standard installation that comes with everything nine out of ten new EV driver needs, including:
-
An in-person survey and installation from their UK-wide network of qualified electricians.
-
Surge protection, cabling, and testing.
-
A 7.4kW single socket Type 2 charger compatible with all EVs produced since 2018.
-
Compatibility with off-peak tariffs and connectivity through WiFi and 4G.
-
Control through the Monta charging app.
Halfords have been so impressed with Cord’s ability to make the entire installation process hassle-free that it has selected the company as its exclusive home changing partner.
Cord co-founder Paul Tomlinson commented:
“When I bought an EV I thought the hard part was over – but it had just begun. Getting a charger installed was a massive headache, with a complex self-survey, a long wait-time from my provider, and an array of hidden costs I hadn’t expected. Far too many drivers see these hurdles and don’t bother – sticking with painfully expensive public charging or the slow three-pin plug charger that comes with their car instead. We started Cord to change that.”
