What Is an Ohme Charger?
An Ohme charger is a smart home EV charger that connects to your energy tariff and schedules charging for lower cost periods. You can control it through the Ohme app, or directly on the Home Pro using its LCD display and buttons. Alert Electrical stocks three Ohme chargers: the Ohme Home Pro 7.4kW with a 5m cable, the Ohme Home Pro 7.4kW with an 8m cable and the Ohme ePod 7.4kW untethered charger.
Ohme Home Pro vs Ohme ePod
Ohme Home Pro: a tethered charger with a 5m or 8m Type 2 cable attached. It delivers up to 7.4kW on a single phase supply and has a larger unit with an LCD display, so it suits drivers who want the cable always attached and ready to use.
Ohme ePod: an untethered charger with a Type 2 socket for your own cable. It also delivers up to 7.4kW on a single phase supply, in a slimmer, more discreet unit, so it suits drivers who prefer no cable on show.
Smart charging features are the same across the range, so the choice comes down to design and cable preference.
Tethered or Untethered: Which Should You Choose?
A tethered charger, like the Home Pro, has the cable permanently attached, so you simply pick it up and plug in. An untethered charger, like the ePod, has a socket instead, so the cable only appears when you charge, though you’ll need to store and plug in your own Type 2 cable each time.
If you choose a Home Pro, measure the distance from the charger to your car’s charging port before choosing between the 5m and 8m cable. Our home EV charger buying guide explains the tethered and untethered options in more detail.
