Cork-based smart charging specialist Ohme has been appointed as a trusted home EV charging partner for SSE Airtricity, Ireland’s leading green energy supplier. This strategic partnership will see SSE Airtricity recommend Ohme’s advanced smart chargers to its extensive customer base of over 750,000 households, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable transportation and clean energy solutions.
Empowering EV Owners with Smart Charging
Ohme’s cutting-edge smart home EV chargers seamlessly integrate with SSE Airtricity’s electricity tariffs, allowing drivers to optimise their charging schedules and benefit from cost-effective off-peak rates. Notably, SSE Airtricity’s Smart EV Charge tariff offers customers 8,000km of free EV charging and a remarkably low EV rate of just 7.29c/kWh*.
A standout feature of this collaboration is the integration of Ohme’s smart charging technology into SSE Airtricity’s EnergiHub app. As the first EV charging company to achieve this milestone, Ohme enables customers to harness renewable energy more efficiently while cutting charging costs by up to €585**. By simply plugging in their vehicle, EnergiHub automates overnight charging, ensuring users take full advantage of lower energy prices and greener power sources.
Industry Leaders Celebrate the Partnership
David Watson, CEO of Ohme, emphasised the significance of the collaboration: “This new partnership with SSE Airtricity underlines Ohme’s position as one of the fastest-growing dynamic home EV charging companies in Ireland. We’re excited to help SSE Airtricity customers unlock lower-cost charging solutions and significantly reduce their EV running costs through our intelligent charging technology.”
Stephen Holford, Head of Propositions and Product Development at SSE Energy Customer Solutions, echoed this enthusiasm: “SSE Airtricity is delighted to partner with Ohme to offer our customers a smart and affordable path to home EV charging. This collaboration combines Ohme’s innovative charging technology with our green energy solutions, reducing costs and enhancing the benefits of EV ownership. We remain dedicated to facilitating the transition to electric vehicles and advancing Ireland’s journey towards a net-zero future.”
Driving Ireland Towards a Greener Future
As a pioneer in sustainable energy, SSE Airtricity continues to lead the charge in reducing barriers to EV adoption through exclusive offers, forward-thinking solutions, and impactful partnerships. This collaboration with Ohme marks another step in its mission to make sustainable driving more accessible and financially viable for all.
Ohme’s reputation in the EV sector is further bolstered by its official partnerships with leading automotive brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Volvo Cars, and the Volkswagen Group in Ireland. Additionally, Ohme is the official charging partner for GoPlugable, Ireland’s pioneering co-sharing home charging initiative, and was recently recognised as Best Chargepoint Manufacturer in the 2024 Irish EV Awards.
With SSE Airtricity and Ohme joining forces, Ireland’s EV owners now have an even more compelling reason to make the switch to smarter, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly driving solutions.
