Halfords partners with Cord for at-home EV charging

Following the success of the rollout of electric vehicle servicing across its UK garages,

Halfords customers can now book a Cord home charging installation directly through the Halfords website.

Halfords chose to partner with Cord as the company simplifies the often complex and frustrating process of buying and installing the right home EV-charging solution.

Cord offers a free home survey and installation within two weeks. More than 9 in 10 installations are “standard” and any additional work required is agreed with the customer in advance, meaning no hidden costs of unexpected fees – a common complaint from those getting EV chargers installed.

Cord also handles authorisation and registration with the appropriate organisations* as well as all customer communications and full compliance with UK Smart Charging Regulations 2023. Halford’s believes this no-hassle, no waiting around proposition is just what its EV customers are looking for.

There’s been 337,537 fully electric or plug-in hybrid cars registered in the UK up to September of this year1. The National Grid believes there will be 36 million electric vehicles on UK roads by 20422, meaning that a simplified service for at-home vehicle charging is very much needed to ensure suitable access.

Richard Bruce, Commercial Director of Halfords, comments “At Halfords, we believe in making electric vehicle ownership as easy as possible. For many drivers, a key concern around EVs is charging. We want to help demystify this for our customers, and this partnership will offer a simple, affordable and easy solution for those transitioning or considering transitioning to an EV."

Halfords is also offering £50 off for Black Friday.
