Standard charging or off-peak charging window
Dynamic charging
Ohme chargers use live data from the grid to automatically reach the desired charge level within a schedule. The car is charged when electricity demand is lower and prices cheaper, while still meeting the desired charging goal.

FAQs
How does an Ohme charger save me money?
Ohme chargers connect to smart tariffs like Intelligent Octopus Go, shifting charging to off-peak hours automatically. This helps reduce charging costs by up to 70% compared to standard electricity rates.
Do I need Wi-Fi to use an Ohme charger?
No. Ohme chargers use built-in multi-network 3G/4G connectivity for smart charging and over-the-air updates, even if your home Wi-Fi isn’t reliable.
How does Ohme keep my home safe during charging?
With integrated open-PEN earthing protection, Ohme chargers don’t require an earth rod and meet all UK safety standards.
Can Ohme chargers balance energy with my household use?
Yes. Dynamic load balancing ensures your EV charges without exceeding your property’s supply limit, keeping your home safe and your EV fully charged.
What is surge protection?
To help safeguard the charge equipment and your electric vehicle from sudden increased in electrical voltage (also known as power surges), a Surge Protection Device (SPD) can be installed within your consumer unit (fuse box) to prevent this from happening.
What is load balancing?
All Ohme chargers have load balancing and built-in earthing (at no additional cost) and are compliant with all the latest safety regulations. This prevents overloads and blackouts at your home by dynamically adjusting charging speed, and means that both people and vehicles are protected from electric shock risks (due to grounding faults).
