Our verdict

Ohme suits households that want a single agreement covering the charger and its installation, rather than buying hardware and fitting separately. The unit costs £999 and is sold by Ohme Operations UK Limited in the United Kingdom, with a mobile app and solar divert alongside it.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Installation is included, and at £999 the figure covers the unit and the fitting rather than leaving another bill to arrange.
  • Solar divert is supported, so home generation can charge the car rather than going out to the grid.
  • Tariff-aware charging works with Intelligent Octopus Go and is set through a mobile app.
  • The charger is tethered and rated at 7.4 kW, with a warranty running 3 years.

Cons

  • Support runs on chat and help centre only, so a problem with a fixed installation has to go through chat or written help.
  • On charger price Ohme ranks 14 of 19 brands compared, which places the hardware cost in the middle of the field.
  • 7.4 kW sits below the category median of 11.75 kW, so top-ups take longer than on a higher rated box.
  • £999 is above the €499 listed by DRBO Greenenergy, even though the two are quoted in different currencies.

Who it suits

  • Households with rooftop solar, since solar divert is supported on a tethered charger
  • Drivers on Intelligent Octopus Go, who get tariff-aware charging without setting timings by hand
  • Buyers in Argentina, GB and AU who want a GB based seller, Ohme Operations UK Limited, handling the fit

Who should look elsewhere

  • DRBO Greenenergy buyers on a tight budget, since that charger is listed at €499 against Ohme's £999, though the two are quoted in different currencies.
  • EVSE - Enphase buyers who would rather arrange their own fitting: installation is not included with that charger, so the hardware is priced on its own.

Where it sits among rivals

On charger price, Ohme sits 14 of 19 brands compared, which places the hardware cost in the middle of the field rather than at either end. On power the ranking is 12 of 18, so output tracks the middle as well. Read both rankings together and the picture is consistent: a middling amount of money for a middling amount of power, with neither figure extreme. If your shortlist is built on price alone, this is the comparison to check first. Buyers who weight what the box does over the sticker number will read the same two rankings differently.

What it does well

Installation is included, so a single agreement covers the charger and getting it fitted rather than leaving a separate job to arrange. The unit is tethered, which keeps the cable with the box instead of loose across a driveway, and it delivers 7.4 kW. Solar divert is supported, so surplus power from your own panels can charge the car rather than being exported. A mobile app comes with it for setting the schedule, and the warranty runs for 3 years.

Who runs it

Chargers are sold and supported by Ohme Operations UK Limited, based in the United Kingdom. Buying from the company that makes the hardware keeps the installation, the app and the charger on the same set of terms, which matters when a fixed cable needs attention later. Support runs on chat and help centre only, so written guidance and live chat are the routes listed. The legal name on the terms is the name to use if a claim or an installation dispute needs raising.

How Ohme compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does an Ohme charger cost, and is installation extra?+

The charger is listed at £999 and installation is included, so there is no separate fitting fee to add at the point of sale. For sellers that do charge for installation on its own, prices across the category run €500 to €1,161.02, with a median of €1,137.78. That gap is worth checking before any two prices are compared.

What charging power does the Ohme charger deliver?+

Ohme's unit outputs 7.4 kW. Across the chargers on this site the median is 11.75 kW and the range runs 7.4 kW to 22 kW. Ohme therefore sits toward the lower end of what is listed, which suits overnight and daytime top-ups but is worth weighing if you want the highest output available in the category.

Can the Ohme charger use my solar and my smart tariff?+

Solar divert is supported, so power generated at home can charge the car rather than being exported. On the tariff side, the charger is listed as working with Intelligent Octopus Go, which is what allows charging to follow cheaper or greener windows. Both are set up through the app, and help with those settings comes through chat and help centre.

Is the cable fixed to the Ohme charger?+

Yes, the unit is tethered, so the cable is permanently attached and cannot be lost or swapped for a different length. Tethered designs are the norm among the listings here, and Ohme's is rated at 7.4 kW. The trade is convenience, no loose connector outdoors, against losing the long cable reach that some driveways need.

Does the Ohme charger come with an app?+

A mobile app is provided, and it is where charging settings and tariff-aware behaviour are managed. The charger is compatible with Intelligent Octopus Go, so a smart tariff schedule can be followed instead of charging at a flat rate. Support for the app and the charger runs on chat and help centre.

What warranty does Ohme give with the charger?+

The warranty runs for 3 years and comes from Ohme Operations UK Limited, the same company that sells the unit. That matters for a tethered design in particular, because the cable is part of the box and the whole assembly sits with you after the fitter leaves. Keep the order details when you raise anything.

Which countries does Ohme sell chargers in?+

Ohme sells into AR, GB and AU, which is a wider footprint than a UK-only shop, while the legal and support operation is based in the United Kingdom. Installation arrangements can still differ from market to market, so read the local terms for your country before ordering. The terms are set by Ohme Operations UK Limited.

How do I get help from Ohme after buying?+

Support runs on chat and help centre only. For context, a help centre is offered by 85.3% of the listings on this site and live chat by 56.8%, so this mix is typical rather than unusual. For a dispute about the fit or the sale itself, Ohme Operations UK Limited is the named party on the terms.
