Genesis Motor UK has signed up Ohme as its new and exclusive home EV charging partner.

The simple referral scheme will give access to home charging units from Ohme, helping to streamline the transition to EV ownership across the newly refreshed line-up from the South Korean luxury car brand.

Ohme will supply the charger, the installation service and a support package directly through the Genesis dealer network, as well as training and assistance for dealers.

Ohme’s dynamic EV chargers use live data from the grid and are compatible with the UK’s most affordable energy tariffs. Ohme chargers automatically adjust to optimise the cost of charging and accessing all the times of the smartest, greenest and lowest cost energy tariffs as well as featuring a solar boost function reducing reliance on the grid.

It means that fully charging a new Genesis GV60 with an 84kWh battery using an Ohme unit on a dynamic EV tariff such as Intelligent Octopus Go could cost £5.88 for its 348-mile WLTP range. Ohme also offers drivers the option to charge their car when renewable energy generation on the national grid is at its highest, further lowering their CO2 impact.

Ashley Andrew, president and CEO of Genesis and Hyundai UK, said: “Ohme’s strong customer service ethos aligns with Genesis’ Son Nim customer-centric approach. As a result, we’re delighted to partner with Ohme for the benefit of our customers and our retailer network.”

Peter McDonald, Ohme director, added: “We’re looking forward to bringing the Ohme benefits of easy charging and low running costs to Genesis customers.

“With Genesis refreshing its line-up of electric models this year, customers not only have an updated product range to choose from but access to all that Ohme can bring to their ownership experience.”
