Hyundai has named Ohme as its new official home charging partner.

The agreement will see Hyundai recommending Ohme chargers with its EV sales.

The deal forms part of a Hyundai EV ecosystem which also includes the Charge MyHyundai app, and the Plug & Charge system.

Ohme’s chargers are designed to connect with the grid in real time, automatically adjusting to optimise the cost of charge and access green, low-cost energy tariffs.

Hyundai and Genesis UK president Ashley Andrew said: “With EVs now thoroughly mainstream, Hyundai is welcoming buyers of all ages and all levels of experience into their first pure electric car. Rather than put the burden of education on them, we’re curating an ecosystem of services and offers that will do the thinking for them. 

“We offer them a cost-effective way to charge at home, an easy way to plan out long journeys, a simple way to charge away from home and up-to-date accessibility and information on the status of their vehicles. 

“With Ohme – one of the fastest growing smart charging companies in the UK – we’ve found an innovative partner that shares our vision of simplifying the EV ownership experience.”

Ohme CEO David Watson said: “Hyundai is at the forefront of the move to electric mobility with its innovative and fast-growing EV range and a great partner for Ohme.

“We look forward to introducing Hyundai drivers to the benefits of dynamic smart charging with reduced running costs and low CO2 charging.”
