Ohme, our recommended home charger provider

The simplest and most economical way to charge your electric vehicle is from a home charger. Our recommended supplier is Ohme. Your local Van Centre can help you order an Ohme home charger and even guide you through the process of applying for any grants you may be entitled to, such as the EV chargepoint grant⁠⁠⁠ that helps with the cost of installation if you own or rent a flat.

Why an Ohme home charger?

‘Ohme (pronounced "Oh-me"), offer a range of home chargers with features such as smart scheduling which, depending on your energy tariff, allows you to charge your electric vehicle when prices are lower. 

Installation

Installations with Ohme are quick, compact and discreet.

After installation, Ohme’s easy-to-use app will get you up and running quickly. All you need to do is download the Ohme app, plug-in, and Ohme will take care of the rest.
