Use the section below to make a note of your charger’s serial number as this is important if you ever need to contact our Customer Care Team. If you’ve had an Ohme Home charger installed take a moment to write down the installer’s name, contact number and installation date.
Product overview Ohme Home Ohme Home is an Electric Vehicle (EV) charging device to be used with single phase electricity supplies (which is standard in most UK houses). It's a tethered unit, which means the cable cannot be removed. It has a maximum charge rate of 32 A.
Ohme Go We have a range of Ohme Go chargers with different plug types: Commando, Type 2, 3- Pin, Schuko / European Charger. Please do not use multi-plug adaptors or extension leads with any Ohme Go charger. Many of these are not suitable for the continuous, high loads drawn by electrical vehicle charging, nor are they suitable for use outside.
The Type 2 charger will talk to your charge point and make sure that it does not charge above the rating of your unit. If you have an existing 16 A charge point, Ohme will charge at a maximum rate of 16 A (there's no need to contact us to reduce the rate).
3-Pin Our 3-pin charger can be plugged into a standard UK socket. We recommend that you ask a qualified electrician to give your electrical supply a once over, just to make sure that the socket and circuit are safe for the continuous demands of EV charging. Although UK 3-pin plugs are rated 13 A, most domestic sockets can't safely deliver this current for long periods of time, so to avoid the potential for overheating we've de-rated our cables to 10 A.
Schuko / European Charger Our Schuko charger can be plugged into a standard European socket. These are rated at 13 A, so it's important to ask a qualified electrician to check that the supplying circuit and socket are safe to deliver 13 A for the duration of your charge.
Ohme box overview The control box is identical across all variants. The LCD display has various icons that tell you important information about the charger, as well as useful real-time measurements of active charge sessions. The circle of indicator lights provides a visual reference to the current state of the charger.

Select your tariff Choose your energy supplier and tariff from the list provided. If you have a variable or time-of-use tariff, we can use this information to save you money by charging at the cheaper rates. If no tariffs are listed once you've entered your postcode, get in touch with our Customer Care Team who will be able to help.
Create a charge schedule to ensure your car has exactly how much charge you need, when you need it. You can create as many charge schedules as you like, and Ohme will pick up whichever schedule is applicable at the time of plug-in. For example, you could...
Set a price cap If you have a variable price tariff with a period of cheaper electricity, or a dynamic tariff that changes more frequently, you may wish to set a price cap to limit your charging to the cheapest rates. Setting a price cap will ensure your car only starts charging once the price drops below a certain rate.
This will allow for more precise charging, with the option to set a target you wish to achieve. Ohme will calculate how long the charge will take based on the current level of charge and the desired target charge.
