Mercedes-Benz has recently announced a brand new partnership here in the UK that is set to improve the home charging experience for their electric vehicles. This partnership sees the automotive manufacturer team up with Smart Charging company Ohme, a Cork-based EV charging company that is already making waves in the industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This partnership will be based on Mercedes recommending Ohme\u2019s products to their customers, and the Ohme Home Pro charger on display in Mercedes showrooms country-wide. It\u2019s also worth noting that this agreement is going to sit alongside Mercedes’s previously-signed agreement with PodPoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chargers that Ohme offer are set to improve the charging capabilities of vehicles at home, with a particular focus on reduced cost. There are two home chargers listed on the Ohme website – the Ohme ePod and the Ohme Home Pro, with the former untethered and the latter tethered. Both work via their smart charging system, which aims to only charge your vehicle at the lowest energy cost times. It connects directly to the national grid in real-time, offering adjusted charging rates depending on the lowest priced tariffs at off peak times, particularly when renewable energy generation is at its highest. This could mean that your Mercedes-Benz vehicle would charge up to 80% for under \u00a34.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this, Mercedes states: \u201cCharging a Mercedes-Benz EQA with a 66kWh battery from 0 to 80 per cent charge with an Ohme smart charger on a smart off-peak tariff, such as Octopus Intelligent, could cost just 3.96 pounds.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohme has also commented on the partnership, first announcing the partnership publicly on Twitter, explaining: \u201cOhme has been chosen by @MercedesBenzUK as its new official home charging partner. It will recommend Ohme’s smart charging tech to EV drivers who need a home charger. Our team of experts can’t wait to introduce Mercedes-Benz customers to the benefits of dynamic smart charging.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
