Ohme, the Cork-based global EV charging company, has been selected by energy supplier Energia as its preferred home charger for electric car buyers.
Obvious choice for Energia
“We are delighted to announce that we will be partnering with Ohme as a preferred home EV charger supplier,” said Ciara Hayes from the Energia Group. “Ohme’s award-winning ePod and Home Pro chargers and reputation for excellent customer service meant it was an obvious choice for Energia and a great way to collaborate with a fast-expanding business.”
The Energia Group, including Energia and Power NI, supplies around 17 per cent of the island of Ireland’s total electricity requirements and is leading the transition towards greener and smart energy generation with its €3bn Positive Energy investment programme.
800,000 customers
“Our partnership with the Energia Group underlines Ohme’s position as one of the UK and Ireland’s fastest growing smart charging companies,” said David Watson, CEO at Ohme. “The Group has more than 800,000 customers across the island of Ireland and this is a perfect partnership bringing the benefits of low cost charging with reduced running costs to EV drivers.”
As Ohme points out, its chargers are designed to automatically pick the lowest-cost and lowest-demand times for charging, which can benefit both EV owners (with lower prices for charging at home) and the wider electricity grid (by reducing peak demand load).
All-island energy supplier
Energia is a major energy supplier both here and in Northern Ireland, where it trades as Power NI. The Ohme chargers are compatible with such money-saving tariffs as Energia’s Smart Drive and Power NI’s EV Nightshift tariffs.
Ohme is the official EV charger provider for Mercedes-Benz, Volvo Cars and the Volkswagen Group in the UK and Ireland. It is also the official charging partner for GoPlugable, Ireland’s co-sharing home charging company and was named as Best Chargepoint Manufacturer in the 2024 Irish EV awards.
