Audi UK Teams Up with Ohme for Smart Charging Partnership

What’s Happening: Audi UK has announced Ohme, an award-winning smart charging company, as its new official charging partner. Under this agreement, Audi will recommend Ohme chargers for all its electrified vehicle sales, and an Ohme Home Pro charger will be displayed in showrooms for customers to view.

Why It Matters: This partnership strengthens Ohme’s position as one of the UK’s fastest-growing smart charging companies and highlights Audi’s commitment to electric vehicle (EV) adoption with its e-tron range. Collaborating with Audi will enable Ohme to introduce more drivers to the benefits of smart charging, which include reduced running costs and lower environmental impact.

Key Points:

  • Ohme’s dynamic smart chargers connect with the national grid in real time, allowing drivers to take advantage of low-price charging periods and smart off-peak tariffs.
  • Charging an Audi Q4 Sport 40 e-tron with an Ohme smart charger on a smart off-peak tariff, such as Octopus Intelligent, could cost as little as £7.70 for a 321-mile range (WLTP).
  • Ohme also provides drivers with the option to charge their cars when renewable energy generation on the National Grid is high, further lowering their CO2 impact.
  • The partnership will involve working with Audi’s retailers to help customers through the entire process, with Ohme offering a bespoke dealer portal.

Bottom Line: The partnership between Audi UK and Ohme reinforces the automaker’s commitment to supporting EV adoption and smart charging solutions in the UK. By recommending Ohme’s award-winning smart chargers for their electrified vehicle sales, Audi is promoting cost-effective and environmentally friendly charging options for its customers. This collaboration is expected to help both companies grow and encourage more drivers to adopt electric vehicles.
