Dynamic intelligent charging
Ohme EV charger
Save money by automatically charging when electricity is cheapest.
The Ohme EV charger takes smart charging to a new level with its colour screen interface and comprehensive integration with UK energy tariffs.
This tethered charger doesn’t just fill your battery. It fills it at precisely the right times to minimise your costs and environmental impact.
Featuring unique dynamic charging technology, the Ohme uses live grid data to optimise when your car charges, automatically targeting periods of lower energy demand when electricity is typically cheaper and greener. If you want to cut your charging costs without the hassle of manual scheduling, this charger delivers a ‘set-and-forget’ experience that adapts to changing energy prices daily.
Multicar support
For households with multiple electric vehicles, the Ohme app allows easy switching between cars. Each vehicle’s charging history and costs are tracked separately, giving you clear visibility of each car’s running costs.
Colour screen interface
The built-in screen provides at-a-glance information about your charging status, energy prices and scheduled sessions without needing to check your phone. This makes it easy to confirm charging is progressing as expected with just a quick look.
Solar Boost functionality
The latest Solar Boost feature automatically diverts excess power from your solar panels to your car, reducing grid dependence and potentially providing free charging during sunny periods. The system balances your home energy needs with your charging priorities.
Dynamic charging technology
Rather than simply following a fixed schedule, the Ohme uses real-time grid data to start and stop charging during optimal periods. Its intelligent approach ensures your car reaches the desired charge level by your set departure time while minimising costs.
Universal tariff compatibility
Unlike other smart chargers, Ohme integrates with every UK energy tariff, including specialist EV options like Intelligent Octopus Go and OVO Charge Anytime. The system analyses your specific tariff’s pricing structure to find the absolute cheapest charging windows.
Key features
A host of benefits
Why choose the Ohme?
Genuine intelligence is what sets the Ohme apart. While many chargers claim to be ‘smart’, the Ohme makes decisions based on live data to save you money automatically. Its unmatched compatibility with all UK energy tariffs means you’ll benefit whether you’re on a standard plan or a specialised EV tariff.
The colour screen adds convenience that app-only chargers can’t match. When you’re rushing out in the morning, being able to quickly check the charging status without opening your phone is a small but significant everyday benefit.
If your home has solar panels, the Solar Boost feature potentially provides completely free charging during sunny periods. The system intelligently balances using solar power with off-peak grid electricity, ensuring you always get the best value regardless of weather conditions.
Installation information
How we help
The Ohme Home Pro comes with standard installation. Our qualified electricians will connect the charger to your consumer unit on a dedicated circuit and ensure your electrical supply can support the additional load.
Installation typically takes three to four hours, and we’ll help you set up the Ohme app on your smartphone and connect the charger to your home WiFi network. For solar panel integration, we’ll install a small sensor on your generation meter that allows the charger to detect when you’re producing excess power.
The unit is fully compliant with all UK charging regulations, giving you peace of mind that your installation meets the latest safety standards. Once installed, the charger receives regular over-the-air updates, ensuring it continues to improve and add new features over time.

Frequently asked questions
How much can I save by using dynamic charging?
Savings vary depending on your energy tariff and driving habits, but many Ohme users report saving 60%-75% compared to standard daytime charging rates.
Will the charger still work if my internet connection goes down?
Yes, the Ohme will continue to function even without an internet connection, defaulting to standard charging mode. Once connectivity is restored, it automatically resumes smart charging without any user intervention.
Can I override the smart scheduling if I need a quick charge?
Absolutely. You can start an immediate charging session through the app or the charger’s touchscreen, which bypasses smart scheduling when you need a quick top-up.
Is the tethered cable secure when not in use?
Yes, the Ohme includes a cable management system that keeps the tethered cable neat and secure when not in use, preventing trip hazards and protecting the connector from weather damage.
How does the charger know my car’s battery level?
The Ohme app connects to many EV manufacturers’ systems to read your battery status directly.
For unsupported vehicles, you can manually enter your current charge level or set a target charging goal in kWh.
