Pros and cons
Cord EV
Pros
- Installation is included, so the charger and its fit are arranged as a single package rather than as separate purchases.
- The charger is tethered, can divert solar to the car and comes with a mobile app, which covers the usual home charging setup.
- Tariff integration with Octopus Intelligent Go and OVO Charge Anytime lets charging follow the cheap windows on those tariffs.
Cons
- Output of 7.4 kW places Cord EV at 12 across 18 brands compared, so it is built for overnight charging rather than quick turnarounds.
- The charger is sold in GB only, so buyers outside the UK are not covered.
- The listed installation price of £979 is another outlay to plan for alongside the charger price of £479 to £559.
Endesa
Pros
- Exit fee of €0 means a fixed term can be ended early without a charge, which is unusual in this group.
- Unit rate of €0.12 and standing charge of €2.85 sit at the competitive end of the suppliers listed here.
- A tethered home charger costs €1,099 with installation included, gives power of 7.4 to 22 kW and carries a warranty of 3 years.
Cons
- Tariff choice is narrower than some rivals: fixed, time of use and ev covers fixed, time-of-use and EV, while Powerpeers lists dynamic, fixed and variable.
- A green tariff does not appear in fixed, time of use and ev, though Electricity Ratings includes fixed, ev and time of use.
- Coverage is limited to Spain, Canarias and Baleares, so households in other markets need a different supplier.
Who each suits
Cord EV
Who it suits
- Households in GB with an off-street drive who charge overnight and want the install handled in the same package.
- Homes with solar generation that want charging diverted from their own power.
- Drivers on Octopus Intelligent Go or OVO Charge Anytime who want charging to follow cheap rate windows.
Who should look elsewhere
- DRBO Greenenergy buyers who shop on the hardware price alone, since its charger is listed at €499.
- Endesa buyers who want a different price point, with a charger listed at €1,099.
- EVSE - Enphase buyers weighing installation cost, whose listed installation price is $1,000.
Endesa
Who it suits
- Households in Spain, Canarias or Baleares that want electricity and gas from one supplier with an exit fee of €0.
- EV owners who want a tethered charger fitted at home and linked to the electricity tariff.
- Customers who expect phone help, since email, chat and phone includes phone and chat alongside email.
Who should look elsewhere
- Powerpeers readers who want a dynamic or variable tariff, since dynamic, fixed and variable lists both and fixed, time of use and ev does not.
- Anyone set on a green tariff, which Electricity Ratings offers in fixed, ev and time of use but Endesa does not list.
- Households outside Spain, Canarias and Baleares, and readers who prefer the fixed-only setup of Base Power Company in fixed.

Questions about each
Cord EV
How much does the Cord EV home charger cost?+
The listing shows £479 to £559 for the Cord EV home charger, and £979 for installation. Installation is included in the package, so budget the unit and the fit together, since both are quoted as separate lines on the listing.
Does the Cord EV charger come with installation?+
Installation is included with the charger, and the listed installation price is £979. Cord EV is headquartered in the United Kingdom and the charger is sold in the United Kingdom, so the fit is arranged as part of the same purchase rather than a separate contract.
Endesa
Does it cost anything to leave an Endesa contract early?+
The exit fee listed for the Conecta de Endesa plan is €0, so ending a fixed term early carries no charge. That stands out among the suppliers in this comparison, several of which price a fee for switching. It makes Endesa easier to move away from if wholesale prices move against you later.
What does a unit of electricity cost from Endesa?+
The unit rate on Conecta de Endesa is €0.12, with a standing charge of €2.85 added to the bill. In this comparison the unit rate ranks 6 of 23 and the standing charge 3 of 16, putting both figures near the competitive end of the group.
