Ohme ePod 7.4kW Untethered Smart EV Charger – Solar & Tariff Ready

Ohme ePod – The Compact Untethered Smart EV Charger for Flexible UK Home Charging

The Ohme ePod is a market-leading home EV charger that blends advanced smart charging intelligence with a clean, compact, and untethered design. Designed for the way UK drivers actually charge their vehicles, it offers the perfect mix of flexibility, efficiency, and style – all backed by Evergy’s UK-based expertise and aftersales support.

Unlike tethered chargers that keep a fixed cable attached at all times, the ePod uses a universal Type 2 socket. This means you can choose the charging cable that works best for your needs – whether that’s the one supplied with your vehicle or an aftermarket cable of a specific length. For households with multiple EVs, guests with different vehicle inlets, or anyone who values a tidy driveway or garage, this untethered format offers unmatched convenience.

As an official Ohme EV charger retailer, Evergy has supplied the ePod to homeowners, small businesses, and installers across the UK. It has consistently earned high praise for its compatibility with popular energy tariffs such as Octopus Intelligent Go and OVO Charge Anytime, as well as its seamless solar PV integration via the Ohme app.

• Smart energy savings: Automatically charges when electricity is cheapest to lower monthly bills.
• Solar integration: Harness your surplus solar energy with Ohme’s Solar Boost mode.
• Compact footprint: Just 230mm x 140mm x 100mm – ideal for limited-space installations.
• Fully UK-compliant: Meets UK Smart Charging Regulations with built-in PEN fault protection.

With its combination of smart charging features, UK compliance, and minimalist design, the Ohme ePod is more than just an EV charger – it’s a future-ready investment for convenient, cost-effective, and sustainable motoring.

Save More with Smart Tariff Integration and Solar Compatibility

One of the standout features of the Ohme ePod smart EV charger is its ability to automatically charge your vehicle at the most cost-effective and eco-friendly times. By connecting the charger to your home energy tariff through the Ohme app, you can ensure your EV is topped up when electricity prices are lowest – or even when your solar panels are generating free, renewable power.

Octopus Intelligent Go & OVO Charge Anytime

The ePod is fully compatible with leading UK smart energy tariffs, including Octopus Intelligent Go and OVO Charge Anytime. Once linked via the Ohme app, the charger can schedule sessions automatically during off-peak hours, taking advantage of rates that can be a fraction of daytime prices. Many Evergy customers save hundreds of pounds a year simply by letting the ePod manage their charging schedule in the background.

For more guidance on how this works in practice, see our EV chargers compatible with Octopus Intelligent Go article.

Harness Your Solar Power

If your property has solar PV, the ePod’s “Solar Boost” mode can detect surplus energy from your panels and automatically direct it to your EV battery. This is ideal for homeowners wanting to maximise self-consumption, reduce reliance on the grid, and lower their carbon footprint. With UK energy prices remaining volatile, the ability to use your own generated power for charging is a significant long-term benefit.

Key Benefits of Smart Tariff & Solar Integration

• Automatic cost savings: Tariff syncing ensures you’re always charging at the cheapest times.
• Environmental benefits: Prioritises renewable solar energy when available.
• Hands-off convenience: Set schedules once and let the charger handle the rest.
• Insightful monitoring: The Ohme app provides a clear breakdown of charging costs and energy sources.

By combining intelligent tariff integration and solar optimisation, the Ohme ePod doesn’t just power your car – it actively works to lower your running costs and environmental impact, every single day.

Untethered Design for Maximum Flexibility

The Ohme ePod untethered EV charger is built for drivers who want the freedom to choose how they connect. Instead of a permanently fixed cable, the ePod features a universal Type 2 socket, allowing you to use any compatible cable — whether supplied with your vehicle or purchased separately to suit your needs.

Perfect for a Range of Scenarios

• Households with multiple EVs, including both Type 1 and Type 2 vehicles (using the correct cable).
• Drivers who prefer different cable lengths for different parking setups.
• Visitors or family members with different vehicle charging requirements.
• Homeowners seeking a clean, minimalist look when the charger is not in use.
• Those planning to change vehicles in future without replacing the charger.

This flexibility is especially valuable for properties where aesthetics matter — when the cable isn’t connected, the charger’s compact profile blends discreetly into the wall, leaving driveways and garages uncluttered.

Simple, Smart Charging Control

Managing your charging couldn’t be easier. The ePod offers two intuitive control options:

• Ohme Smartphone App: Schedule charging, integrate with your energy tariff, set solar priorities, and monitor usage remotely.
• On-unit buttons: Start or stop charging instantly without needing your phone — perfect for quick plug-ins.

The ePod also comes with an integrated 4G SIM (data included for the first three years), ensuring reliable connectivity for smart features without depending on your home Wi-Fi.

If you prefer a charger with a fixed cable ready to plug in, explore our tethered Ohme Home Pro 5m or Ohme Home Pro 8m models — offering the same smart technology with built-in convenience.

Built for the British Climate with Full Safety Compliance

The Ohme ePod is designed and tested to perform reliably in all UK weather conditions. From frosty winter mornings to heavy summer downpours, its IP55 weatherproof rating ensures the internal components remain protected, whether it’s installed outdoors on an exposed wall or inside a garage.

Safety Features You Can Trust

When it comes to EV charging, safety is as important as performance. The Ohme ePod is fully compliant with the latest UK Smart Charging Regulations and includes multiple built-in safety systems for your peace of mind:

• Integrated PEN Fault Detection: Eliminates the need for a separate earth rod, simplifying installation and reducing cost.
• Built-in RCD Protection: Type A RCD (30mA) plus 6mA DC fault detection to protect against electrical faults.
• Dynamic Load Balancing: Automatically adjusts charging power to prevent overloading your home’s main fuse.

Reliable Performance Year-Round

The ePod’s tough external casing and quality internal components have been tested for durability against temperature changes, prolonged rainfall, and physical impacts. This makes it a dependable choice for UK households where reliability is a must.

These built-in protections not only keep you and your property safe but also make installation easier for qualified electricians. For more details on safe installation, see our EV Charger Installation Guide.
