Leading smart charging company Ohme is the new official charging partner for Volkswagen Group Ireland.

The agreement will see all six Volkswagen Group Ireland brands, Volkswagen, Audi, ŠKODA, CUPRA, SEAT and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, recommend Ohme chargers for all of their electrified vehicle sales with an Ohme Home Pro charger in showrooms for customers to view.

“Our partnership with the Volkswagen Group Ireland underlines Ohme’s position as one of Ireland’s fastest growing smart charging companies,” said David Watson, CEO at Ohme. “Volkswagen Group Ireland has one of the most comprehensive electrified vehicle portfolios available to Irish car buyers. We are looking forward to introducing those drivers to the benefits of off-peak charging with reduced running costs and working with retailers to help their customers through the entire process.”

Volkswagen Group Ireland is Ireland leader in battery electric vehicles (BEV). In 2022, its retail brands led the way with a combined EV market share of 34%. The Volkswagen ID.4 has been Ireland’s best-selling vehicle for the last two years running.

“We are delighted to announce that we will be partnering with Ohme as our preferred home charger supplier,” says Carla Wentzel, Managing Director for Volkswagen Group Ireland. “Ohme’s award-winning Home Pro charger and reputation for excellent customer service represents a clear differentiator in the market and a perfect match to the extensive range of electrified models across the Volkswagen Group umbrella.”

Ohme’s range of smart chargers can connect with all of Ireland’s electricity suppliers and automatically adjust an EV’s charging for drivers to take advantage of off-peak tariffs.
