New untethered Smart Ohme Epod released but not showing on oVo choice of smart chargers. Surely this is an oversight and it will be compatible as it looks like it should be. Any ideas ?

Ohme chargers  no longer be compatible with Charge Anytime.

 

We’ve recently updated the technology behind Charge Anytime. This is so we can keep making improvements and create new products that reward customers for driving EVs. It's not been possible to integrate Ohme with this new technology. If you have an Ohme charger you’ll still be able to sign up to Charge Anytime by connecting with an eligible vehicle. We’re constantly looking to open up the eligibility to more EV models so if you don’t see your EV here, keep an eye on our page.


You can see all eligibility details in our Charge Anytime page here.

 

OVO are working with chargers and electric vehicle manufacturers to unlock Charge Anytime. At the moment the Ohme Epod isn’t on our list of compatible chargers but watch this space. 

 

Is your EV on the list for ‘direct to vehicle’ ?

 

Just had confirmation from OVO that the Ohme epod is compatible. 

There are now two ways you can get Charge Anytime:

 

 

You must have an eligible EV or Smart Charger, we’re constantly looking into ways to broaden eligibility of this product so if your technology isn’t currently on this list keep an eye on our page for updates!

It might be compatible soon! However, it probably takes time to get things set up backstage before it can be made compatible.

Yep I agree with blatoise, @mirving123 - OVO are working with chargers and electric vehicle manufacturers to unlock Charge Anytime. At the moment the Ohme Epod isn’t on our list of compatible chargers but watch this space.

I see the new Ohme ePod changer works with the Octopus Intelligent tariff so i would expect it to get added to the OVO offer reasonably quickly to keep up.

    I am getting the Cupra Born v3 so I can link to the car for now so all good. In regards the Ohme epod it looks the same features of the Ohme that’s listed. I do wonder if I could select the one that’s listed and it would just work🤷‍♂️

        Hi

         

        just looking to buy an Ohme ePod - we’re you able to get this up and running? I notice the website and the Twitter team don’t seem to think it’s compatible with the tarriff?

        It’s worth giving it a try. :)

        Otherwise, Direct 2 Vehicle might be an option

        Hyundai doesn’t appear to be supported unfortunately so it’s all down to the charger….

          Interestingly the epod is mentioned by Ohme in this announcement on the Kaluza website.

          Kaluza supply the software to OVO Energy for the Anytime tariff.

          Kaluza is part of the overall OVO Group. 

          “Ohme is delighted to be an official charging partner of OVO with its Charge Anytime tariff. We are committed to reducing the motoring costs for EV drivers and supporting the global transition to renewable energy and in conjunction with our new ePod charger and best-selling Home Pro charger, this new tariff is a great step towards that.”
