Which electric vehicle (EV) charger do I need for my vehicle?
Cord EV chargers are compatible with all modern electric cars. If you’d like to check your car’s compatibility, use the handy lookup tool on the Cord website.
Are home electric vehicle chargers AC or DC?
Home EV chargers are AC (alternating current). Since most UK homes have a single-phase electricity supply, they’re limited to charge a car at a maximum of 7.4kW – or more simply, overnight – ready for you in the morning.
How much does it cost to charge my electric vehicle at home?
Many people have variable rate energy tariffs, meaning energy usage is cheaper at night. Cord EV chargers are automatically set to charge your vehicle overnight, when energy can be significantly cheaper. Don’t worry – if you want to charge on demand, you can do that too.
If you’d like to know more about how much it might cost to charge your car, use the handy lookup tool on Cord’s website.
Can I get a home electric vehicle charger if I rent?
Yes! You’ll need the landlord’s permission, but even better if you rent a flat you can get up to £350 off the cost of the charger through the Government OZEV grant.
How fast can I charge my electric vehicle at home?
The speed at which you can charge your EV at home will depend on your car (the maximum rate of charge it can accept), and your charger. Most homes can charge a car up to 7.4kW – or more simply, overnight whilst you sleep. Cord EV chargers are 7.4kW.
It can often be faster to charge a car using a public charge point because they use a different charging method (DC), typically not available from a home. Use the handy lookup tool on Cord’s website to find out how fast you can charge your car.
Can I install an electric vehicle charger myself?
No – you must be a qualified electrician to install an EV charger. Cord’s national team of approved qualified electricians install home car chargers in line with the UK Smart Charging regulations. The electrician will apply for authorisation from the DNO (distribution network operator) to install an EV charger at your property, as required by law.
