Cord + GuestCharge
Cord chargers work with GuestCharge, a UK platform built for holiday lets and short-term rentals. Guests scan a QR code on the charger and pay by card for exactly what they use, billed by the kWh, with no app to download and no account to create. Hosts get automatic payouts, there are no monthly fees, and GuestCharge takes a small percentage only when a guest pays. It connects to your Cord charger over OCPP.

About Cord
Cord is a UK charger manufacturer and installer based in Birmingham. James and Paul started it in 2023, after finding that getting a charger fitted at home meant too much jargon and too many hidden costs. Cord designs and tests its own smart chargers, built for UK homes and businesses.
More than 10,000 drivers now charge with Cord, it has been a Which? Trusted Trader since 2025, and its support team is UK based. Simple to use and fairly priced is what both companies are aiming at: Cord on the hardware, GuestCharge on the payment, with no app or account for your guests.
