The Ohme ePod is Ohme's most compact home EV charger, combining intelligent charging technology with a sleek, minimalist design.
Designed for drivers who prefer an untethered charger, the ePod offers all the smart charging features Ohme is known for, including intelligent tariff integration, app control, built-in 3G/4G connectivity and optional solar charging compatibility.
Whether you're charging your first electric vehicle or upgrading an existing charger, the Ohme ePod makes home charging simple, efficient and designed to help reduce your running costs.
The Ohme ePod is designed to help reduce the cost of charging your electric vehicle.
Simply tell the charger when you need your car ready and your desired battery level. The charger automatically calculates the most cost-effective times to charge based on your compatible electricity tariff, helping you take advantage of cheaper off-peak electricity without having to manually schedule charging sessions.
It's the perfect "plug in and forget" charging solution for everyday EV drivers.
Unlike many smart EV chargers, the Ohme ePod doesn't rely on your home's Wi-Fi connection.
It features a built-in multi-network 3G/4G SIM card that automatically connects to the strongest available mobile network, enabling smart charging, tariff integration, software updates and app connectivity straight out of the box.
This makes it ideal for garages, driveways or properties where Wi-Fi coverage may be unreliable. Mobile connectivity is included by Ohme for the first three years.
Manage your charging wherever you are using the Ohme App.
You can:
The app gives you complete control over your charger while providing useful insights into your charging habits and energy usage.
The Ohme ePod is designed for homeowners who prefer the flexibility and clean appearance of an untethered charger.
Instead of a permanently attached cable, you simply connect your own Type 2 charging cable when required. This keeps the charger looking neat when not in use and allows you to replace the cable independently if needed.
Its compact, understated design blends seamlessly into almost any home exterior.
The Ohme ePod uses a universal Type 2 socket, making it compatible with virtually every electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid sold in the UK.
Simply connect your Type 2 charging cable and you're ready to charge.
The Ohme ePod works with compatible smart electricity tariffs to automatically charge when electricity prices are at their lowest.
Rather than following a simple timer, it intelligently adjusts charging throughout the night to help minimise your charging costs while ensuring your vehicle is ready when you need it.
If your home has solar panels, the Ohme ePod can make use of surplus solar energy when installed with a compatible CT clamp.
Solar Boost allows excess solar generation to charge your vehicle instead of exporting unused electricity back to the grid, helping you make the most of the renewable energy your home produces.
When installed with a compatible CT clamp, the Ohme ePod can intelligently monitor your home's electricity demand.
If household electricity usage increases, the charger automatically adjusts its charging output to help prevent overloading your electrical supply while your vehicle is charging.
The Ohme ePod receives firmware and software updates automatically over its built-in mobile connection.
This helps keep your charger secure while ensuring you continue to benefit from the latest features and improvements.
The Ohme ePod is designed for permanent outdoor installation and includes a range of built-in safety features.
It features:
The charger also complies with the latest UK Smart Charging Regulations, giving you confidence every time you plug in.
Is the Ohme ePod compatible with my electric vehicle?
Yes. The Ohme ePod is compatible with virtually all electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids that use a Type 2 charging connector
Do I need Wi-Fi?
No. The Ohme ePod includes a built-in multi-network 3G/4G SIM card, so it doesn't rely on your home's Wi-Fi. Smart charging features, app connectivity and software updates all work using the integrated mobile connection.
Can I charge during cheaper overnight electricity rates?
Yes. The Ohme ePod is designed to work with compatible smart electricity tariffs and can automatically schedule charging during lower-cost electricity periods, helping you reduce your EV running costs.
Does the Ohme ePod work with solar panels?
Yes. When installed with a compatible CT clamp, the Ohme ePod supports Solar Boost, allowing it to use surplus solar generation to help charge your electric vehicle.
What's the difference between the Ohme Home Pro and the Ohme ePod?
The biggest difference is the charging cable. The Ohme Home Pro is a tethered charger, meaning it includes a permanently attached 5-metre Type 2 charging cable that's always ready to use. The Ohme ePod is an untethered charger, so you'll use your own Type 2 charging cable each time you charge. Many homeowners prefer the cleaner, more discreet appearance when the charger isn't in use. Both chargers offer the same intelligent charging features, including smart tariff integration, built-in 3G/4G connectivity, Solar Boost compatibility, dynamic load balancing and full control through the Ohme App.
Which Ohme charger is best for me?
If you want the quickest and most convenient charging experience, the Ohme Home Pro is usually the better choice thanks to its integrated charging cable and built-in colour display. If you prefer a smaller, more discreet charger or like the flexibility of using your own charging cable, the Ohme ePod is an excellent alternative. Whichever model you choose, you'll benefit from Ohme's intelligent charging technology designed to help optimise charging and potentially reduce your electricity costs.
Is the Ohme ePod suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The charger is IP55-rated and designed for permanent outdoor installation in UK weather conditions.
The Ohme ePod is ideal for homeowners who want a clean, minimalist EV charger without compromising on intelligent charging features.
Offering the same advanced technology as the Ohme Home Pro, but in a compact untethered design, the ePod includes smart tariff integration, built-in 3G/4G connectivity, Solar Boost compatibility, dynamic load balancing and full app control.
Whether you're installing your first home EV charger or replacing an older unit, the Ohme ePod provides a reliable, future-ready charging solution designed to help reduce charging costs while keeping your electric vehicle ready for every journey.
