London to New York for under £2 with Ohme

Want to travel from London to New York for less than £2 with Ohme? Well you can by EV thanks to Ohme’s unique software and home EV chargers and their ability to access the UK’s most affordable electricity tariffs.

We’re talking about New York in Lincolnshire, of course, rather than the Big Apple, but with the standard variable tariff for electricity changing on 1st October, Ohme still remains committed to reduced travel costs for EV drivers, charging their cars at the smartest, cheapest and greenest times thanks to Ohme’s dynamic charging capability.

That means those 108 miles from London to New York, Lincolnshire could cost you just £1.89*. Or how about the 205 miles from Newcastle to Bermuda (Bermuda, Warwickshire that is)? That would set you back just £3.59. Fancy a half term trip from Manchester to California? That’ll cost you just £4.60 for the 263 miles to California – in Norfolk.

“Ohme’s unique software and technology means that our chargers can access every energy tariff in the UK helping EV drivers to reduce their everyday running costs,” said David Watson, CEO of Ohme. “Anyone driving an EV should find out if their electricity supplier offers a smart tariff for EV drivers. If not, they should consider switching to a supplier that does, to access those greater savings.”

The dynamic charging technology in Ohme’s chargers can connect with the national grid in real time and automatically adjust its charging for drivers to take advantage of all the times of low price charging with off-peak smart tariffs.

Fully-charging a Volkswagen ID. Buzz with a 77kWh battery from 0% with an Ohme smart charger on a dynamic tariff such as Intelligent Octopus Go, could cost just £5.39.

Ohme is the official charger provider for the Volkswagen Group and Volvo Cars in both the UK and Ireland as well as Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai in the UK. Ohme has also been named as Best Chargepoint Manufacturer in the 2024 Irish EV Awards.
