Ohme has announced that it will be the official electric vehicle (EV) charging partner for Audi in the UK.
The partnership will see Audi recommend Ohme Home Pro chargers for Audi EV customers and feature the product in its showrooms.
Ohme was founded in 2017 and is the official charger provider for the Volkswagen Group in the UK as well as customers on the Motability scheme. The company also provides chargers for many housing developers such as Harron Homes and Hollins Homes.
“Our partnership with Audi underlines Ohme’s position as one of the UK’s fastest growing smart charging companies,” said David Watson, chief executive at Ohme.
“Audi has been leading EV introduction in the UK with its e-tron range and continues to be at the forefront of the new technology with its Q4 e-tron and Q8 e-tron models and e-tron GT sports coupe.”
More than a quarter of Audi’s car sales in February in the UK were EVs, and the company has around a 10% share of the UK EV market.
“We are delighted to announce that we will be partnering with Ohme as one of our recommended home charger suppliers,” said Andrew Doyle, Audi UK Brand Director
“Ohme’s award-winning smart chargers and excellent attitude towards customer service and professionalism align with Audi’s core values and culture.”
Ohme’s smart chargers adjust its charging to take advantage of low price charging with smart off-peak tariffs. Using an Ohme smart charger with an off-peak tariff such as Octopus Intelligent can fully charge an Audi Q4 Sport 40 e-tron for as little as £7.70 for a 321 mile range, according to the company.
Ohme’s dynamic smart chargers can connect with the national grid in real time and automatically adjust its charging for drivers to take advantage of all the times of low price charging with smart off-peak tariffs. Ohme has said that it will also offer customers the option of charging their EV at times of peak renewable energy generation, thereby lowering CO2 impact.
