We’re delighted to announce that LEW are now stocking Ohme EV Car Chargers. As the world transitions towards sustainable energy, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. A critical aspect of this transition is the development of efficient and intelligent charging solutions. Ohme, a leading company in the EV charging industry, has emerged as a key player, offering innovative and user friendly car chargers that cater to the diverse needs of EV owners. Ohme has developed and engineered two leading edge home chargers to ensure you get more from your EV. These chargers, available to order from all LEW branches, provide a seamless and accessible option for those looking to enhance their EV charging experience.
Ohme EV Car Chargers – Intelligent Charging Solutions
Ohme car chargers are designed with cutting-edge technology to ensure efficient, safe, and cost-effective charging for all types of electric vehicles. These chargers come with smart features that enable users to optimize their charging experience. One of the standout features of Ohme chargers is their ability to integrate with real-time electricity pricing. This allows users to charge their vehicles during off-peak hours when electricity is cheaper, significantly reducing the cost of ownership for EVs. Moreover, Ohme chargers are equipped with user-friendly interfaces and mobile apps, providing EV owners with full control over their charging schedules. The mobile app offers functionalities such as remote start and stop, monitoring of charging sessions, and detailed reports on energy consumption and costs. This level of control and transparency is invaluable for users who are keen on managing their energy usage efficiently.
Ohme SolarBoost Technology
One of the most exciting innovations from Ohme is their SolarBoost technology, a game-changer in the realm of sustainable EV charging. SolarBoost is designed to harness renewable energy sources, specifically solar power, to charge electric vehicles. This technology not only promotes the use of clean energy but also offers significant cost savings for users.
What is SolarBoost/Solar + Grid?
SolarBoost is an advanced charging mode designed to use as little grid energy as possible by supplementing your charge with self-produced green energy. While SolarBoost is not exclusively a ‘solar only’ option, as all electric vehicles require an additional top-up from the grid to reach a minimum charging rate, it aims to maximize the use of solar power for cost-effective, green charging. This approach helps reduce your carbon footprint and save money on energy bills.
How SolarBoost Works
SolarBoost technology integrates seamlessly with home solar panel systems. It prioritizes the use of solar[1]generated electricity for charging the vehicle. When solar power is available, the charger draws energy directly from the solar panels, minimizing reliance on the grid and reducing electricity bills. In times when solar power is insufficient, the system intelligently switches to grid electricity, ensuring that the vehicle is always ready for use. The primary benefit of SolarBoost technology is the substantial cost savings on electricity. By using solar power to charge their vehicles, users can significantly lower their energy expenses, especially during peak hours when grid electricity rates are high. Furthermore, SolarBoost technology provides an eco-friendly charging solution, aligning with the global push towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change.
*Cost savings on Solar are only cheap and worth doing on some occasions. When charging super cheaply overnight off the Intelligent Octopus tariff then it would be cheaper using this and selling excess solar back to the grid rather than diverting solar through the charger.
