SG Fleet, a leading UK fleet management and vehicle leasing company, has partnered with Ohme to provide innovative electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions for its salary sacrifice customers. This collaboration introduces a bundled offer, integrating the cost of an Ohme smart charger into monthly rental fees, easing the transition to EVs for drivers.
Key Highlights
- SG Fleet partners with Ohme, the UK’s leading smart charging platform, to support EV adoption.
- Bundled charger offer: Ohme charger costs are included in monthly EV rental fees.
- Significant EV growth: SG Fleet’s salary sacrifice fleet has seen a 400% increase in EVs since 2021.
- Cost savings with smart charging: Drivers can save significantly using off-peak tariffs, reducing annual charging costs to £119 compared to £437.41 on standard tariffs.
- Ohme’s industry recognition: Official charger provider for major brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and Hyundai.
Simplifying EV Adoption
The partnership addresses a key barrier to EV adoption by eliminating upfront charger costs. SG Fleet’s bundled package allows drivers to spread the cost of an Ohme smart charger over their rental term, making the switch to electric vehicles more accessible. Ohme’s dynamic smart chargers enable drivers to leverage solar or off-peak tariffs, significantly reducing charging expenses. For instance, an average UK driver covering 6,800 miles annually can charge an EV for just £119 per year on an off-peak tariff like Intelligent Octopus Go (7.5p/kWh), compared to £1,000+ for a petrol car.
Supporting Fleet Electrification
SG Fleet has observed a 400% rise in EVs within its UK-managed salary sacrifice fleets since 2021, reflecting growing consumer interest in sustainable transport. By recommending Ohme chargers for all electrified vehicles, SG Fleet ensures its customers benefit from cutting-edge technology and cost-effective charging solutions. “Our role is to keep businesses and their people moving,” said Peter Davenport, Managing Director at SG Fleet. “This partnership with Ohme helps us deliver a seamless transition to electric mobility.”
Ohme’s Role in the EV Market
Ohme, founded in 2017, is a trusted name in EV charging, serving as the official provider for brands like Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, Suzuki, and Volkswagen Group in the UK and Ireland. The company’s smart charging systems allow drivers to charge during off-peak hours, reducing costs and environmental impact. Ohme’s commitment to sustainability has earned it recognition as a potential ‘gigacorn,’ capable of eliminating one gigatonne of CO2 annually. The company has also secured ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications and recently won Business Motoring awards for Best Electric Charging Point Provider and Best Electric Van Charging Point Provider.
SG Fleet’s Comprehensive Services
With over 300,000 vehicles managed across the UK, New Zealand, and Australia, SG Fleet is a trusted partner for corporate and public-sector organizations. The company offers a wide range of services, including contract hire, vehicle leasing, salary sacrifice, maintenance, and accident management.

Driving the Future of Mobility
This collaboration highlights both companies’ dedication to advancing e-mobility. “SG Fleet’s bundled package shows innovative thinking,” said Peter McDonald, Ohme Director. By combining SG Fleet’s fleet management expertise with Ohme’s smart charging technology, the partnership paves the way for more businesses and drivers to embrace electric vehicles, contributing to a greener future.
