From Thursday 22 May customers signing up to Charge Anytime will no longer be able to onboard with their Ohme charger. This doesn’t affect customers currently onboarded with Ohme and Charge anytime. If you have an Ohme charger and a compatible EV, you’ll be able to sign up to Charge Anytime via your vehicle instead.
To sign up to Charge Anytime you must be an OVO customer and have an eligible car or charger. We’re constantly looking to open up the eligibility to more EV models and chargers - so if you don’t see your tech here, keep an eye on our page.
You can see all eligibility details in our Charge Anytime page here.
Be very wary of the accuracy of the Ohme Home Pro charger. Mine was displaying a certain number of units consumed for a charging session, but when the charging socket was removed from the vehicle the figure dropped by about 30%. The lower figure was the one reported to Ovo on the charge anytime EV tariff. This meant that, for example, instead of being charged 7p per unit on a 60 unit charge (£4.20), it would be 7p for 42 units (£2.94) and 28p for the remaining 18 units (£5.04), total £7.98. Therefore I was getting charged nearly DOUBLE the correct figure. It took me many months to get Ohme to accept there was a problem, despite providing them with compelling evidence from my Smart Meter and from calculating the theoretical consumption of a charging session. If you have this charger please check!!
