2. Why Choose an Ohme EV Charger?
Ohme is widely recognised as the UK’s leading smart EV charger manufacturer for drivers looking to minimise their electricity bills:
1. Intelligent Tariff Syncing:
Ohme’s cloud algorithms integrate directly with suppliers like Octopus Energy and OVO Energy. Tell the Ohme app how much charge you need and by what time tomorrow morning; Ohme communicates with the grid to charge during the lowest-cost, greenest off-peak hours.
2. Reliable Cellular 4G Connectivity:
Unlike chargers reliant on temperamental domestic Wi-Fi signals reaching through brick walls to your driveway, Ohme chargers feature an integrated multi-network 4G SIM card (with lifetime data included at no extra charge).
3. Interactive On-Device LCD Screen:
The Ohme Home Pro includes a crystal-clear colour display directly on the unit, showing live charging speeds, target battery percentages, and the exact cost of the current charging session.
4. Built-in PEN Fault Protection:
Fully compliant with BS 7671 (18th Edition) regulations. Eliminates the need for an unsightly external earth rod buried in your garden or driveway tarmac.

4. Intelligent Octopus Go: How Ohme Saves You £600+ Every Year
If you switch to Octopus Energy’s Intelligent Octopus Go tariff with an Ohme charger:

- Octopus also dynamically grants extra cheap daytime charging slots whenever grid supply is green, passing those savings directly to you.

7. Frequently Asked Questions: Ohme Chargers
Does the Ohme Home Pro require my home Wi-Fi?
No! Both the Ohme Home Pro and Ohme ePod contain a built-in cellular 4G SIM card. The SIM connects automatically to the strongest mobile network available (O2, Vodafone, EE, or Three) with zero subscription fees, meaning you never suffer connectivity drops due to weak home Wi-Fi.
Can I choose an 8-metre cable on the Ohme Home Pro?
Yes. While the standard cable length is 5 metres, we can supply and install the extended 8-metre tethered version, perfect for larger driveways or two-car households.
Can I install an Ohme charger if I have solar panels?
Yes. Ohme offers solar-charging capabilities through the app, allowing you to charge your vehicle directly using surplus green solar energy generated by your home array.
What is the difference between the Home Pro and ePod?
The Home Pro has a permanently attached cable and an interactive LCD screen. The ePod is a compact, untethered socket-only unit where you plug in your car’s separate charging cable. Both feature identical smart tariff automation and 4G connectivity.
