The Volkswagen Group has extended its partnership with Ohme as its official home EV charging company in the UK. The agreement continues the collaboration between Ohme and the Volkswagen Group that started in 2022. All six Volkswagen Group brands – Audi, CUPRA, SEAT, Škoda, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles – will continue to recommend Ohme chargers for all of their electrified vehicle sales.
“I’m delighted that the Volkswagen Group has extended our partnership together underlining Ohmes’ position as the UK’s largest smart home EV charging company,” said David Watson, Ohme CEO. “When our collaboration with the Volkswagen Group began in 2022, it already had one of the most comprehensive ranges of electric models and that has only grown. We look forward to continuing to introduce its drivers to the benefits of dynamic smart charging with dramatically reduced running costs.”
Globally in 2023, the Volkswagen Group sold more than 771,000 electric vehicles, over a third more than in 2022. In the UK, it was responsible for one in every five battery electric passenger cars sold.
“Following a robust procurement process, we were very happy to continue with Ohme as our official home EV charger for the Volkswagen Group,” said Kate Jeffreys, Electric Vehicles Business Lead for Volkswagen Group UK. “Ohmes’ attitude towards excellent customer service together with its award-winning chargers and its dynamic technology which is able to access some of the most affordable EV tariffs on the market, made it an obvious choice. As we move from early to mass adoption of EVs we need to support our customers in making the switch and our ongoing relationship with Ohme is a key part of this.”
The average UK driver covers 6800 miles a year. Smart charging on an off-peak tariff in an EV would cost just £127.50 per year with Intelligent Octopus Go at 7.5p/kWh, compared to £417 with the new Standard Variable Tariff of 24.5p/kWh. Ohmes’ dynamic smart chargers automatically adjust to optimize charging costs and offer the option to charge when renewable energy generation is highest.
Ohme is the official charger provider for the Volkswagen Group in the UK and Ireland and was named Fast Track Company of the Year in the 2023 UK Green Business Awards.
