By / 3 months ago / UK News / No Comments

Hyundai Motor UK has signed up Ohme as its new official home charging partner.

The tie-up will enable Hyundai customers to benefit from the smartest, greenest and lowest-cost energy tariffs

The agreement will see Hyundai recommend Ohme’s smart chargers for its EV sales, enabling customers to benefit from the smartest, greenest and lowest-cost energy tariffs.

Ashley Andrew, president, Hyundai & Genesis UK, commented: “We are delighted to be collaborating with Ohme as our recommended home charger supplier. Ohme is one of the fastest-growing smart charging companies in the UK. Its technical innovation and extremely high levels of customer service make for an ideal partnership with Hyundai as we continue to expand our EV range with the new Kona and Ioniq 5 N.”

Ohme’s dynamic smart chargers can connect with the grid in real time, automatically adjusting to lower the cost of charging and give access to the greenest energy.

As an example, running a Hyundai Ioniq 6 Single Motor RWD and an Ohme smart charger on the Intelligent Octopus Go tariff could cost £116.80 for a year for an average UK driver doing 6,800 miles. By comparison, charging on the Standard Variable Tariff would cost £451.62 for the same distance and an equivalent petrol car would be more than £1,200.

David Watson, Ohme CEO, said: “With recent awards from Top Gear, Auto Express and the Scottish Car of the Year, Hyundai’s EV models are some of the most sought-after in the market and a perfect match for Ohme’s unique software and technology. We look forward to introducing Hyundai drivers to the benefits of dynamic smart charging with reduced running costs and low CO2 charging.”
