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

Meet the Ohme ePod, delivering Ohme's renowned smart charging technology in a compact, discreet, untethered design. This home EV charger provides the flexibility to use your own charging cable while still intelligently managing your charging sessions. Connect to your energy tariff and solar panels via the app to automatically charge when prices are lowest or sunshine is abundant, making EV ownership more affordable and sustainable.

Charge Smarter, Save More

Why let your EV charging cost more than it needs to? The Ohme ePod connects to your energy tariff through the Ohme app, identifying the cheapest off-peak electricity rates from providers like Octopus or OVO. It can automatically schedule charging during these low-cost windows. Got solar panels? Even better. Activate the 'Solar Boost' setting in the app, and the ePod will prioritise using your free, green surplus solar energy to power your car, reducing your reliance on the grid and cutting costs further.

Untethered Convenience & Control

The Ohme ePod features a universal Type 2 socket, offering a neat, cable-free look on your wall when not charging. This untethered design means you can use the cable that best suits your needs, whether it's the one supplied with your vehicle or a specific length you require. It's compatible with both Type 1 and Type 2 vehicle inlets (using the appropriate cable). Control remains simple:

• Ohme Smartphone App: The primary control centre for setting schedules, monitoring energy use and costs, managing tariff/solar integration, and tracking your charging history.
• On-Unit Buttons: Useful for starting or stopping a charge directly at the unit if needed.

Reliable connectivity for these smart features is provided by an integrated 3G/4G SIM card, with data costs included for the first 3 years, according to Ohme documentation.

Compact Design, Reliable Power

Despite its small footprint (just 230mm x 140mm x 100mm, according to the datasheet), the Ohme ePod delivers a solid 7.4kW (32A) charging speed, ensuring efficient overnight charging for your electric vehicle. It incorporates essential safety features like built-in RCD and PEN fault detection (detailed in the datasheet) and complies fully with UK Smart Charging Regulations for a safe and reliable charging experience.
