The electric vehicle charging station manufacturer Ohme launches its smart charging technology in France.
Ohme is the official charging station provider for the Volkswagen group and Polestar in the United Kingdom and Ireland, as well as for Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai in the UK, and Volvo Cars in Ireland. Strong partners, and a dominant position in the UK and Ireland where Ohme is the fastest-growing charging station manufacturer.
This topic was recently highlighted in the December 2023 report by CRE (Energy Regulation Commission), indicating that individual charging management remains underdeveloped in France. Indeed, only 26% of electric vehicle users report managing their charging at home (source: Enedis study September 2023). France therefore represents a high-potential market for Ohme’s smart charging solution.
According to the figures provided by the company, charging a Peugeot E-208 51kWh to 100% with an Ohme charging station under a off-peak contract, like EDF Tempo Blue Off-Peak, would cost only 5.39 euros TTC.
It remains to be seen how intuitive the system offered by Ohme is, as everyone who does laundry or washes dishes during off-peak hours knows that programming is often a real engineering headache!
