Suzuki Australia introduces Ohme as its home EV charging partner

Suzuki Australia has chosen Ohme as its new and exclusive home EV charging partner with the arrival to its dealerships of the new e VITARA – its first electric car.

The partnership will see Suzuki recommend Ohme chargers to customers who need a home charging solution. Ohme chargers will be available to view in Suzuki dealers, with Ohme providing a full solution including the charger and installation as well as dealer training and support.

This continues the growth of Ohme’s global collaboration with Suzuki with existing similar partnerships in the United Kingdom and Ireland, giving Suzuki EV buyers a complete, end-to-end charging solution at the point of sale. Ohme is the largest home EV charging company in the UK and Ireland and the fastest growing EV charging company in Europe.

“We’re delighted to announce this new collaboration with Suzuki. This partnership is about giving Suzuki dealers and their customers a home charging experience that’s genuinely best in class — from the hardware, through to installation, right through to ongoing support,” said Matthew Evans, Head of Mobility, Ohme Australia. “It’s a natural extension of the work Ohme has already done with Suzuki in our other global markets and we’re excited to bring that same level of experience to Suzuki’s Australian network.”

“As Suzuki’s first ever electric car, the introduction of e VITARA marks an important step in Suzuki’s future EV offering in Australia,” said Michael Pachota, General Manager, Suzuki Australia. “Our partnership with Ohme will play an important role in supporting our customers as we enter this new era of electrification, with their cutting-edge technology and commitment to customer service helping us further enhance the ownership experience.”

The Suzuki e VITARA is offered with the choice of two battery options, 49kWh and 61kWh and with front wheel drive or Suzuki’s ALLGRIP E four-wheel drive. Along with solar integration, Ohme’s functionality offers drivers the option to charge their car when electricity costs are lowest and when renewable energy generation on the local electricity grid is at its highest, further lowering their CO2 impact.

Ohme is already the official home EV charging partner for the leading fleet management and mobility provider SG Fleetin both Australia and the UK. It was also named Most Reliable Home Charger by What Car? magazine in the UK, and was also recognised among the Top 5 EV chargers in Australia by Solar Choice, one of the country’s leading solar energy comparison platforms.
