Ohme ePod 7.4kW Untethered Smart EV Charger – Solar & Tariff Ready

Ohme ePod – Compact Untethered Smart EV Charger for Flexible UK Home Charging

The Ohme ePod is a compact, untethered smart EV charger designed for UK homes that want flexibility and lower running costs. With a universal Type 2 socket, you can choose the cable that suits your parking layout, while the Ohme app links directly to Octopus Intelligent Go and OVO Charge Anytime for off-peak savings. Add Solar Boost and you can prioritise surplus PV generation for greener, cheaper miles — all in a neat, cable-free design when not in use.

Save More with Smart Tariff Integration & Solar Compatibility

The Ohme ePod is designed to work in harmony with the UK’s leading smart energy tariffs. By connecting the charger to your account in the Ohme app, you can automate charging when electricity rates are lowest. This makes it easy to benefit from cheap overnight pricing on tariffs such as Octopus Intelligent Go and OVO Charge Anytime, with the charger ensuring your vehicle is topped up at the best times without manual effort.

Homes with solar panels can take advantage of the ePod’s Solar Boost mode, which prioritises self-generated energy. When your PV system produces excess electricity, the ePod diverts it straight into your EV battery — cutting bills and maximising your return on renewable investment. It’s a simple way to turn sunshine into free miles.

• Automatic off-peak charging: Aligns charging with your cheapest tariff windows.
• Solar Boost: Use your own surplus PV before drawing from the grid.
• App-based monitoring: Track energy use, costs, and savings directly from your phone.

Example: 200 kWh/month charged at 7.5p/kWh instead of 29p/kWh = around £43/month saved (~£520/year). Actual savings depend on tariff and mileage.

Untethered Design for Maximum Flexibility

The Ohme ePod is built for households that value versatility. Instead of a fixed cable, it features a universal Type 2 socket, giving you the freedom to use any compatible charging lead. This makes it ideal for families with multiple EVs, visitors with different vehicles, or anyone planning to switch cars in the future without needing to change their charger.

• Universal compatibility: Works with all Type 2 vehicles (Type 1 supported via adapter cable).
• Compact footprint: Only 230 × 140 × 100 mm — fits neatly on driveways or in garages.
• Clean, cable-free look: No trailing cable when not in use, keeping your space tidy.

Day-to-day use is straightforward. You can start or stop charging with the on-unit buttons for quick sessions, or take full control in the Ohme app. The app provides live cost tracking, usage insights, smart scheduling, and solar prioritisation — giving you complete flexibility at home or remotely.

Built for the British Climate with Full Safety Compliance

The Ohme ePod is engineered to handle the UK’s weather and regulatory standards. With an IP55 weather rating and compact, durable housing, it’s suitable for permanent outdoor installation — from exposed driveways to sheltered garages. Whatever the conditions, the ePod is designed for long-term reliability.

Crucially, the ePod meets all requirements of the UK Smart Charging Regulations, giving you confidence that your charger is compliant, safe, and future-proof. This reduces risk for both homeowners and installers, ensuring a smoother installation process and long-lasting peace of mind.

Every unit includes multiple layers of integrated protection:

• PEN fault detection: Removes the need for a separate earth rod in most domestic installs.
• Type A RCD + 6 mA DC leakage detection: Built-in protection to safeguard your property and vehicle.
• Optional dynamic load balancing: Prevents overloading your main supply by automatically adjusting charge rate.

These safety features not only make the Ohme ePod secure and compliant but also streamline installation, saving time and costs for electricians while giving users full confidence in everyday charging.
