Tenby for a tenner? Ohme enables EV drivers to go further for less

How far could you drive for £10? Charge your EV with Ohme on a smart tariff and you could get from London to Tenby in South Wales and back for less than ten pounds (that’s 474 miles).

From 1^st April, the Standard Variable Tariff for electricity will drop to 24.67p/kWh, representing a big saving compared to running a petrol car – especially so with rising petrol prices.

But with Ohme, the UK’s largest home EV charging company and the fastest growing in Europe, drivers can go even further by accessing some of the lowest price smart tariffs in the UK.

On the new Standard Variable Tariff of 24.67p/kWh, EV drivers could potentially travel up to 160 miles for £10, but with Ohme and a smart energy tariff such as Intelligent Octopus Go* they could drive up to 500 miles – over three times more. By comparison, a typical petrol car would travel just 60 miles.

“Charging an EV with Ohme on a smart energy tariff at home will always be the most affordable place for drivers to charge their vehicles,” said Ohme CEO David Watson. “And at a time when petrol prices are becoming increasingly volatile, there’s never been a better time to drive an EV – after all, who wouldn’t want to be able to do 500 miles for just £10?”

Ohme is the official charger provider for Mercedes-Benz, Volvo Cars and the Volkswagen Group in the UK and Ireland as well as Genesis, Hyundai, Smart, Suzuki and XPeng in the UK. Ohme is also the official exclusive charger provider for customers on the Motability scheme, the largest fleet operator in the UK, as well as Ford in Ireland and for Hyundai in France.
