Mercedes-Benz UK partners with Ohme for home charging

Smart charging lets drivers charge during off-peak times

Dani Cole August 14 2023

Mercedes-Benz has named Ohme as its home EV charging partner in the UK.

Mercedes-Benz will recommend Ohme chargers to customers who need a home charging solution, with an Ohme Home Pro charger available in Mercedes-Benz showrooms.

Jason Allbutt, Head of Product and Planning from Mercedes-Benz said: “Ohme’s technological innovation and excellent approach towards customer service and professionalism align with the core values of Mercedes-Benz.”

David Watson, CEO of Ohme said: “Mercedes-Benz has one of the strongest premium line-ups of electric vehicles. This collaboration with Mercedes-Benz underlines Ohme’s position as one of the UK’s fastest-growing and most dynamic smart charging companies in the UK.”

Ohme says its smart chargers can connect with the national grid in real time and automatically adjust its charging for drivers so they can charge during off-peak times. 

High upfront costs could be detrimental towards the growth of the off-highway EV market

The global off-highway electric market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.4% by 2030, per GlobalData estimates. Despite the strong growth, high upfront costs may pose a challenge. Due to the high capacity of these vehicles, they consume large amounts of power from a number of battery packs installed on the vehicle, whose high cost in turn adds to the cost of the vehicle, thereby increasing the initial cost. However, governments worldwide are offering subsidies and tax exemptions in order to help customers to counter the initial purchase cost.
