EV smart charging company Ohme has tied with leading personal leasing company ZenAuto to help simplify the switch to electric vehicles.

Ohme’s Home Pro smart charger will help drivers with the switch to EVs

As ZenAuto’s primary smart charger supplier, Ohme will help more electric car drivers to reduce their running costs by enabling them to charge when electricity prices are at their lowest and renewable generation is at its highest.

“ZenAuto enables drivers to choose their next car quickly and easily and is committed to helping them with the move towards electric,” said John Tracy, CEO at ZenAuto. “Ohme is a perfect business partner with its Home Pro smart charger ideal to help those drivers with the switch. And, just like us at ZenAuto, Ohme is committed to providing excellent customer service throughout the entire journey.”

Part of Zenith, ZenAuto operates a fleet of over 9,000 cars, including an increasing number of electrified vehicles. A survey undertaken by the business following the COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow found that more than a third of drivers were considering a switch to an electric car sooner than they had originally planned.

“Ohme is very happy to be partnering with ZenAuto to help more drivers make the switch to electric cars,” said Stuart Clark, Ohme sales director. “Used in conjunction with smart charging tariffs, our Home Pro smart charger can help EV drivers to realise savings of up to £1000 on their charging costs and reduce their CO2 by up to 70% compared to standard charging.”

It’s the latest partnership for Ohme, which was also recently appointed as the official EV charger provider for customers on the Motability scheme and also works with manufacturers direct.

The business also scored the award for Innovation in Electric Vehicles by Fleet World at the 2022 Great British Fleet Awards. The title was awarded for its Home Pro solution as well as the new newly launched Fleet Data Streams service; part of Ohme’s work in delivering EV charging software and hardware with unique services to optimise the customer experience, charging cost and CO2 footprint of the vehicle.
