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

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

The Ohme ePod is a compact, untethered smart EV charger that delivers flexibility without compromising performance. Instead of a fixed cable, it features a universal Type 2 socket, letting you choose the charging lead that best suits your household. This makes it ideal for families with multiple EVs, visitors with different vehicles, or anyone who prefers a clean, cable-free look when the charger isn’t in use.

Trusted by installers and popular with UK drivers, the ePod integrates seamlessly with leading smart tariffs such as Octopus Intelligent Go and OVO Charge Anytime. It also supports Solar Boost mode, enabling you to channel surplus PV generation into your car battery for greener, cheaper miles. With its slim design and smart features, the Ohme ePod is a forward-thinking choice for cost-conscious EV owners.

Save More with Smart Tariff Integration & Solar Compatibility

By connecting the ePod to your energy tariff in the Ohme app, you can automate charging when electricity rates are lowest. The charger communicates directly with Octopus Intelligent Go and OVO Charge Anytime, ensuring your EV is topped up overnight or during other low-cost periods without manual input. This often translates into hundreds of pounds saved per year compared to peak-time charging.

For homes with solar panels, the ePod’s Solar Boost mode allows you to use your own renewable energy first. When your panels generate excess electricity, the ePod diverts it straight into your car — reducing reliance on the grid and lowering your carbon footprint. It’s a simple way to get more value from your solar investment.

• Automatic off-peak charging: Schedule sessions in cheap windows.
• Solar integration: Prioritise surplus PV for eco-friendly miles.
• Insightful monitoring: Use the Ohme app for costs, usage, and control.

Example: 200 kWh/month at 7.5p/kWh vs 29p/kWh = around £43/month saved (~£520/year). Actual savings vary with your tariff and driving.

Untethered Design for Maximum Flexibility

The Ohme ePod is purpose-built for households that value flexibility. With its universal Type 2 socket, you’re free to use any compatible cable — whether supplied with your vehicle or purchased separately to suit your parking layout. This adaptability makes it especially useful for families with multiple EVs, or drivers who plan to change vehicles in the future without needing a new 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 exterior walls or in garages.
• Minimalist look: No trailing cable when not in use, keeping your driveway or garage tidy.

Day-to-day control is simple. You can either press the on-unit buttons for quick starts and stops, or manage everything via the Ohme app on iOS and Android. The app offers cost breakdowns, smart scheduling, and solar prioritisation — giving you full control whether you’re at home or away.

Built for the British Climate with Full Safety Compliance

Designed and tested for UK conditions, the ePod is IP55-rated for weather resistance. Whether it’s mounted outdoors on a driveway wall or inside a garage, it’s built to last through rain, frost, and summer heat. Importantly, it meets all requirements of the UK Smart Charging Regulations, so you can be confident it’s compliant and future-proof.

For peace of mind, the ePod includes multiple layers of built-in protection:

• PEN fault detection: Removes the need for a separate earth rod.
• Type A RCD + 6 mA DC leakage detection: Protects both your home and your vehicle.
• Dynamic load balancing (optional accessory): Prevents overloading your main fuse.

These safety features not only protect your property and vehicle, they also simplify installation for electricians — keeping costs and complexity down.
