Smart UK has selected Ohme as its exclusive home EV charging partner to align with its focus on offering innovative and intuitive electric vehicle solutions.
As part of the partnership, Ohme chargers will be featured in Smart retailers backed with a comprehensive service, including charger installation, retailer training, and ongoing support.
Jason Allbutt, CEO of Smart UK, commenting on the collaboration, said: “Our vehicles are designed to offer an emotive yet intuitive experience that adapts to the user’s needs, making Ohme’s unique dynamic charging capabilities the perfect match for us.”
Ohme’s chargers are designed to optimise charging costs by using real-time grid data. Compatible with all UK energy tariffs, including those from Octopus and OVO, they adjust charging schedules to tap into the lowest-cost energy.
For example, fully charging a Smart #1 (62kWh battery) with an Ohme charger on a dynamic EV tariff like Intelligent Octopus Go could cost just £4.34. Additionally, Ohme’s chargers feature a solar boost function for users with solar panels.
David Watson, CEO of Ohme, said: “This collaboration with Smart helps to underline Ohme’s position as the UK’s fastest-growing home EV charging company. We’re looking forward to introducing Smart’s customers to the benefits of dynamic charging.”
Ohme chargers also enable users to charge during periods of peak renewable energy generation on the grid, lowering CO2 emissions. In addition to its partnership with Smart, Ohme serves as the official charging provider for Motability Operations, Mercedes-Benz UK, and Athlon business leasing.
