[legacy] How do I set up OVO Charge Anytime?

Integrating your Ohme account with the Anytime add-on will ensure you get super cheap electricity for any Smart Charging.

There are two ways to integrate with Anytime, with your car or with your charger. For everyone with an Ohme charger we would recommend integrating with your charger via your Ohme account. If you would prefer to integrate with your car, your Ohme account will need to be unlinked from the charger to ensure Ohme doesn’t interrupt the charge. This can be done either by deleting your Ohme account or by submitting a request to the Ohme Team for the account to be unlinked.

Here, we’ll take a look at:

How to integrate the Anytime add-on with your Ohme account

Step 1

To start the process of integrating your Ohme account with the OVO Charge Anytime add-on, navigate to ovoenergy.com and log into your OVO Energy account.

Step 3

Next you’ll be invited to log into your Ohme account. Once you’re logged in, you’ll need to confirm the authentication so Ohme can share your charging data with OVO.

When the integration set-up has been completed, you should see a new menu item in the OVO Account sidebar called Your EV. This tab will show your electricity usage and costs for your home and car.

When you open the Ohme app, you’ll notice the tariff has been updated to Anytime automatically.

How to charge with the Anytime tariff

With the Anytime tariff integrated with Ohme, you can enjoy a lower rate for all smart charging. Simply set an overnight ‘charge schedule’ in the Ohme app (navigate to ‘My Charger’) and specify a ‘departure time’ for the next morning. This will activate smart charging, ensuring all charging sessions, regardless of what time they occur are billed at the lower rate.

A few moments after you have plugged in, you’ll see the Ohme app Dashboard turn blue with Smart Charging at the top of the screen and the name of your schedule underneath. This confirms all of the charge Ohme has scheduled will be billed at the off-peak rate.

How to disconnect and change tariff

Disconnect via OVO Energy

Once you’ve integrated your Ohme account with Anytime, you’ll find you can no longer change or update your tariff in the Ohme app.

If you wish to remain on the Anytime tariff and are pairing with a different charger or switching Ohme accounts, contact the OVO support team via [email protected] who can assist with de-registration. Once de-registration is complete and you’re successfully set up with your Ohme account and paired with your Ohme charger you can register with Anytime again by logging into your OVO account.

If you have left the Anytime tariff and wish to change or update your tariff, get in touch below and the team will be able to help. Once you’ve been disconnected, you’ll be able to change and update your tariff in the Ohme app.
