How do I choose the right target for my car?

If you have a car brand that we’re not yet integrated with (or you haven’t paired your car’s app account with Ohme), you’ll need to set a charge target that specifies the percentage of charge you would like to add to the current amount of charge displayed in your car.

For example, if you normally return home with 30% charge left in your EV and you want to have 80% ready for the next morning, you’ll need to set a charge target to add 50% more charge (30% + 50% = 80%). You can do this by tapping the “Charge to add” button, and using either the +/- buttons, or tapping the percentage to manually type in the amount to add.

Alternatively, you can set up Routines to request for Ohme to add a specified amount of charge to the vehicle on certain days of the week by a departure time.

For example, you could set one weekday routine for Ohme to add 30% charge to the vehicle on Monday – Friday by 8am for a small top-up throughout the week. You could then set another Routine for Ohme to add 80% charge on Saturday and Sunday by 9am to allow for a larger weekend charge.

Upon plugin, the Charging page will show how much energy has been added to the vehicle so far, as well as the name and details of the Routine being followed if currently enabled.

The charging schedule can be adjusted for the individual charging session by tapping the “Charge to add” or “Ready by” areas of the Charging screen.
