As electricity prices climb starting April 1, 2025, Ohme, the UK’s leading home EV charging company, offers a cost-effective solution for electric vehicle (EV) drivers. By leveraging dynamic home electricity tariffs, Ohme enables drivers to travel over 200 miles on a single charge for roughly the cost of a cup of coffee—about £4.10. This innovative approach contrasts sharply with the upcoming standard electricity rate of 27p/kWh, making smart charging an appealing option for EV owners. Ohme’s advanced technology adjusts charging times to capitalize on low-cost periods, delivering significant savings and convenience.
Key Highlights
- Affordable Travel: A £4.10 charge—equivalent to a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato—powers an EV for 234 miles using a tariff like Intelligent Octopus Go at 7p/kWh.
- Annual Savings: Covering the UK average of 6,800 miles annually costs just £119 with Ohme, compared to £459 at the new standard rate.
- Full Charge Value: Charging a Volkswagen ID.3 (77kWh battery) from empty costs only £5.39, offering a 344-mile range.
- MultiCar Feature: Ohme’s new app function allows households with multiple EVs to manage charging and track costs efficiently.
Ohme’s smart chargers integrate with the national grid, automatically optimizing charging during off-peak hours. CEO David Watson emphasizes the importance of dynamic tariffs, noting, “Ohme’s compatibility with all UK energy tariffs ensures drivers get the lowest costs.” The company recently introduced its MultiCar app feature, simplifying charging for households with multiple EVs, such as personal and company cars, while tracking expenses accurately.
As the official charger provider for brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, and Volkswagen in the UK and Ireland, Ohme also supports the Motability scheme. Recently, it earned two 2024 What Wallcharger? Awards for its ePod and tariff integration. Founded in 2017, Ohme continues to lead the EV charging market, reducing costs and environmental impact for drivers.
