Honda introduces Ohme as its home EV charging partne
The partnership will see Honda recommend Ohme chargers to customers who need a home charging solution at the same time as the arrival of the new all electric Super-ONE city car into showrooms.
Ohme is the largest home EV charging company in the UK and Ireland and the fastest growing EV charging company in Europe. This latest partnership will see Ohme chargers available to view in selected Honda Centres, with Ohme providing a full solution including the charger and installation as well as dealer training and support.
“It’s great to partner with Honda as they bring the Honda Super-ONE to Australia. It’s a fun, exciting car that carries all the heritage of Honda’s ‘joy of driving’ philosophy into the electric era,” said Matthew Evans, Head of Mobility, Ohme Australia. “We look forward to giving Honda’s customers the best home-charging experience possible and supporting its retailers in every possible way.”
“Ownership experience has been a central pillar for Honda Australia over the course of our almost 60 years in the market,” said Robert Thorp, Director of Automotive, Honda Australia.
“With the release of the Honda Super-ONE, we are focused on maintaining our leading ownership experience by helping customers transition to owning a BEV. In working with Ohme, we are confident customers are taken on the journey with a reliable partner that provides ultimate charging peace of mind.”
The Honda Super-ONE city car comes with a 29.6 kWh battery capable of a 202km range (WLTP). Using an Ohme charger with an off-peak home energy tariff such as AGL’s Night Saver, a full charge of the Honda Super-ONE could cost as little as $2.37.
Along with solar integration, Ohme’s functionality offers drivers the option to charge their car when electricity costs are lowest and when renewable energy generation on the local electricity grid is at its highest, further lowering their CO2 impact.
Ohme is already the official home EV charging partner for the leading fleet management and mobility provider SG Fleet in both Australia and the UK. It was also recognised among the Top 5 EV chargers in Australia by Solar Choice, one of the country’s leading solar energy comparison platforms. Ohme now has onboarded 200 dealer partners in Australia in its continuing growth.
