Ohme Home Pro: The Intelligent Home EV Charger for Cost-Conscious UK Drivers

Take control of your electric vehicle charging with the Ohme Home Pro, one of the UK's favourite smart EV chargers. Designed for convenience and significant cost savings, this home EV charger intelligently connects with your energy tariff and your electric car to ensure you charge at the most economical and environmentally friendly times, directly from your driveway.

If you're looking for one of the best home EV charging solutions to reduce your bills and carbon footprint without compromising on performance or safety, the Ohme Home Pro is an excellent choice for your home charging needs.

Slash Your Charging Costs with Smart Tariff Integration

The standout feature of the Ohme Home Pro is its market-leading smart charging capability. According to Ohme, it integrates directly with dynamic energy tariffs, including popular options like Octopus Agile, Intelligent Octopus Go, OVO Charge Anytime, and standard off-peak tariffs. By monitoring live grid pricing and your own charging preferences set via the app, the Ohme Home Pro automatically schedules charging sessions during the cheapest and often greenest periods. This means substantial savings on your home charging costs compared to standard chargers. Knowing how much it costs to charge an EV at home in the UK is crucial, and the Ohme helps minimise this expense by offering advanced smart charging solutions.

• Automatically finds the cheapest times to charge based on your tariff.
• Supports integration with major UK time-of-use energy suppliers.
• Reduces your overall electric vehicle charger running costs significantly.

Effortless Control & Monitoring via the Ohme App

Manage your home EV charging effortlessly using the dedicated Ohme mobile app (EV charging software). Available for both iOS and Android, the app provides complete control over your Ohme Home Pro charger. You can set charging schedules, specify the amount of charge needed by a certain time, prioritise charging based on price or green energy, and monitor your charging sessions in real-time. The app also provides insightful data on your energy consumption, costs saved, and CO2 impact reduction, putting all the information you need at your fingertips.

• Start, stop, and schedule charging remotely.
• Track energy usage, expenditure, and CO2 savings.
• Set preferences for price, green energy, or battery percentage targets.

Safe, Compliant & Future-Proof Charging

Safety and compliance are paramount for any home EV charger installation. The Ohme Home Pro features built-in PEN fault detection, which means it doesn't require the installation of a separate earth rod. This simplifies the installation process and can potentially lower the EV charger installation cost UK. It fully complies with the latest UK Smart Charge Point Regulations, ensuring it meets all necessary safety and technical standards for electric vehicle chargers. Furthermore, the Ohme Home Pro receives over-the-air software updates, ensuring it stays up-to-date with the latest features, energy tariffs, and regulatory requirements, making it a future-proof investment.

Designed for Your Convenience

The Ohme Home Pro is a tethered EV charger, meaning the charging cable is permanently attached for maximum convenience – just park, plug in, and let Ohme handle the rest. It comes with a standard 5-metre Type 2 connector cable, suitable for most UK driveways and compatible with almost all modern electric vehicles sold in the UK and Europe (Type 2 chargers being the standard). For those needing extra reach, an 8m cable version is also available. The unit itself features a clear interactive LCD screen displaying charging status and information, adding to its user-friendly design. If you prefer an untethered electric car charger, consider the Ohme ePod.
