Hardware

Get all of Ohme’s intelligent software in a compact and untethered package. You can even control certain functions of the charger using the buttons on the front, which can be turned off to prevent any unwanted tampering of your EV charging sessions.
Power output - 7.4kW
The Ohme ePod has a max power output of 7.4kW, which works out to be around 30 miles of range per hour of charge depending on your electric vehicle.
Like its tethered counterpart, the Ohme Home Pro, the Ohme ePod uses a 3g 4g mobile signal

New Ohme ePod units come with a CT clamp meaning that it can divert any excess energy generated from your solar panels and use it to charge your car, as long as the correct conditions are met. 

The ePod is Ohme’s first untethered charger meaning that you’ll need to have your own cable handy before you can use it. The benefit of this however is that you can use both type one and type two cables with the ePod, meaning that you’ll still be able to charge older electric vehicles that use a type one connector.

Plus, you’ll have the benefit of being able to choose your own cable length.

We sell 5-metre and 10-metre cables, which you can purchase separately or at the checkout when purchasing your ePod.
Included with the Ohme ePod is a built-in O-PEN fault device, which avoids the need for an earth rod installation at your property. Saving both time and cost during installation.
As standard, the Ohme ePod comes with a three year warranty, so you can be rest-assured that Ohme’s got you covered in the unlikely senario of something going wrong with your EV charger.
Although electricity theft through your charger is rare, the Ohme allows you approve every charge session for added security.

The Ohme ePod comes pre-wired for dynamic load balancing, which means it will monitor the electrical demand on your property and adjust its own power output to protect the main fuse. 

Though many homes do not require this, it’s useful to know you can utilise this feature in the future if needed.

Software

Automatically take advantage of off-peak charging, set a max price cap and get valuable insights into your charging session such as how green your charge was, all through Ohme’s intelligent software built into their smartphone app.
Smart Scheduling - Yes

Tell the Ohme app which energy tariff you’re on and Ohme will automatically find your energy rate costs saving you having the hassle of finding an old energy bill and entering them yourself.

Once Ohme knows your energy rates, you can then set a max price cap so that your charger will automatically start and stop charging to coincide with your energy tariff’s cheapest rates, saving you money.

You can even set a target charge percentage, which the Ohme will try to charge your EV to during your tariff’s off-peak rate*

*Depending on the make and model of your car, the Ohme charger will be able to automatically read the vehicle’s battery percentage. Please check the API list located in the FAQ section to see if your vehicle works with this feature.

Track car charging costs, start and stop times and energy usage of past EV charging sessions with the Ohme app’s built-in charging session tracker.

 

 

Take advantage of Intelligent Octopus Go’s super-cheap off-peak energy rate of 7.5p per kWh, even if your EV is not on Octopus’ compatibility list when you choose any Ohme EV charger (including the ePod).

Ohme ePod FAQ

Is my Electric vehicle on the API list?

Some car manufacturer’s provide an API (Application Programming Interface), which allows your Ohme ePod to access certain information about your car, such as its battery percentage.

Cars that support this function allow your Ohme ePod to automatically charge it to the target percentage you set on your Ohme’s smartphone app.

Those manufacturers are:

  • Audi
  • BMW
  • Cupra
  • Hyundai
  • Land Rover
  • Kia
  • Mini
  • Nissan
  • Renault
  • Skoda
  • Tesla
  • Volkswagen
  • Volvo

If you’re car’s manufactuer isn’t on the list above, then you will need to create a schedule that specifies how much charge you would like to add to the current charge percentage of your vehicle.

For example, if you return home with 20% charge in your vehicle (Most will display the battery percentage on its infotainment screen or a dedicated app if it has one) and you want to top it up to 80%, then you will need to create a schedule with a target charge of 60%.

Yes you can.

The Ohme ePod features a universal socket, which means that both Type 1 and Type 2 cables can be used.

No, you’ll need to either already have a EV charging cable or purchase one separately.

We have a range of 5m and 10m charging cables on our EV accessories page, all of which are compatible with the Ohme ePod.

No, the Ohme ePod is only available as a 7.4kW unit. Most UK residential properties however cannot make use of 22kW EV chargers anyway and 7.4kW is more than enough for the majority of EV drivers. Find out why in our guide to 22kW three-phase charging.

 

The Ohme ePod is rated at IP55 for water ingress and is designed to work outside in all weathers.

 

As part of our standard installation, our engineers will complete the initial app setup on the day of installation.

No, the Ohme ePod is only available in black currently.

 

The Ohme ePod comes pre-wired for dynamic load balancing, which means it will monitor the electrical demand on your property and adjust its own power output to protect the main fuse.
