If you’re looking to get in front of the EV curve following the latest government announcements, you’ll need a reliable and future-proofed charger to do. The experts at Ohme explain why.
Cast your mind back to July and, putting aside the pain of the Euros for a moment, it was certainly a busy first week.
In the space of seven days, we had a new lower standard electricity tariff in place, a new government and then the new Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, declared new housebuilding targets.
We know what you’re thinking: “What do any of these things have to do with me as an electrician?”
Well, if you fit EV chargers, the answer is more than you might imagine. More homes being built means more electrical work, both before and after their construction. And of course, thanks to the Part S Building Regulations, all new build properties with associated parking need to have EV chargers fitted.
Customers are likely to ask your advice on which EV charger is best for their needs both now and in the future. Selfishly, you’ll want a charger that is easy and hassle-free to fit, that is not only fully compliant to the latest smart charger regulations but will also be reliable and not require a return visit.
There’s no place like Ohme
The Ohme Home Pro and ePod are designed specifically with this in mind. The ePod is Ohme’s untethered charger, a neat socketed solution for those who might be after a more discreet charger, while the Home Pro is Ohme’s tethered charger with a charging lead attached. The Home Pro is also a sealed unit, so doesn’t need to be opened to be fitted.
Not only are both chargers simple to install but crucially, once fitted, can be commissioned at the same time, meaning no costly and time-consuming second visit. They’re also OZEV EVHS and WCS approved and solar compatible as well as boasting dynamic tariff integration and home power balancing.
Additionally, Ohme’s new App gives the customer complete control over the times and flexibility of their EV charging and is compatible with all UK electricity tariffs; this includes the cheapest and latest dynamic smart tariffs, so buyers have the peace-of-mind knowing that they won’t be restricted with any of their future choices.
Ohme has a large, dedicated sales support team who will provide training and ongoing technical support for all your needs. There’s also a large UK-based customer care team to provide a full support service and deal with any potential queries, rather than customers coming to you.
The chargers are stocked by most electrical wholesalers across the UK, both online and in store, including many of the larger brands.
