We are looking forward to introducing those drivers to the benefits of off-peak charging with reduced running costs and working with retailers to help their customers through the entire process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Volkswagen Group Ireland is Ireland leader in battery electric vehicles (BEV). In 2022, its retail brands led the way with a combined EV market share of 34%. The Volkswagen ID.4 has been Ireland\u2019s best-selling vehicle for the last two years running. The ID. Buzz created history by becoming the first vehicle to win Irish Car of the Year and Irish Van of the Year in the same year, while the multi-award winning Audi Q4 e-tron,&nbsp;\u0160KODA Enyaq and CUPRA Born have become firm favourites with Irish EV drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to announce that we will be partnering with Ohme as our preferred home charger supplier,\u201d says&nbsp;Carla Wentzel, Managing Director for Volkswagen Group Ireland. \u201cOhme\u2019s award-winning Home Pro charger and reputation for excellent customer service represents a clear differentiator in the market and a perfect match to the extensive range of electrified models across the Volkswagen Group umbrella.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ohme\u2019s range of smart chargers can connect seamlessly with all of Ireland\u2019s electricity suppliers and automatically adjust an EV\u2019s charging for drivers to take advantage of off-peak tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, charging a 77kWh Volkswagen ID.3 from zero to 100 per cent with an Ohme Home Pro on an off-peak tariff, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sseairtricity.com\/uk\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SSE Airtricity\u2019s<\/a> Night Boost*, could cost just \u20ac8.12 for an electric range of more than 420kms (WLTP). Over the course of a year and 10,000kms of driving that would equate to a saving of almost \u20ac700 compared to charging on the standard tariff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ohme also offers drivers the option to charge their car when renewable energy generation is at its highest, further lowering their CO2&nbsp;impact. Ohme already works with a number of other partners across Ireland including the AA, Donegal County Council&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irishrail.ie\/en-ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Iarnr\u00f3d \u00c9ireann<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>* SSE Airtricity Night Boost tariff\u2013 10.55c\/kWh<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For more information please contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Nat Barnes<\/strong>, Head of PR, Ohme \u2013 nat.barnes@ohme-ev.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Graeme Lennox<\/strong>, Head of Group Communications, Volkswagen Group Ireland \u2013 Graeme.lennox@vwgi.ie<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Ohme<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based in Cork, Ohme was founded in 2017 and is Ireland\u2019s leading smart charging platform provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the forefront of EV charging, Ohme offers a smart charging system solution for consumers, business and fleets that enables consumers to charge at off-peak times and reduce their charging costs and environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ohme is also the official charger provider for the Volkswagen Group in the UK as well as Motability Operations, the largest fleet operator in the UK.&nbsp;Ohme has been named by outside investors as a \u2018gigacorn\u2019 \u2013 a company that has the potential to get rid of one gigatonne of CO2&nbsp;from the atmosphere per year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1039,"template":"","class_list":["post-1038","news-and-press","type-news-and-press","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.5 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
