GoPlugable Selects Ohme As Its Smart EV Charging Partner In Ireland

GoPlugable has selected Cork-based EV charging company Ohme as its official home charger partner in Ireland. GoPlugable, established in 2023, is a platform for locating, reserving, and sharing home charging points for EV drivers. This partnership aims to enhance convenience for drivers and improve the charging infrastructure in Ireland.

Owners of Ohme chargers in Ireland can become GoPlugable hosts and earn money by sharing their home EV charger when it’s not in use. Additionally, Ohme customers will receive an exclusive offer when they sign up on the GoPlugable platform. Details of this offer are available on the GoPlugable website.

GoPlugable Partners with Ohme

"We are delighted to announce Ohme as our official home charging partner," said GoPlugable CEO, Maebh Reynolds. "With Ohme being the fastest-growing smart EV charging company in Ireland, it’s great for us to be working with them to help with the transition to greater EV adoption in all forms."

David Watson, CEO of Ohme, added, "GoPlugable is a really exciting new company for Ireland, helping to grow EV adoption and make it easier for drivers to make the switch. This collaboration will help Ohme customers not only get paid from renting their charger out to other EV users but also play a part in growing the EV public charging network."

Ohme’s range of smart chargers can connect seamlessly with all of Ireland’s electricity suppliers and automatically adjust an EV’s charging to take advantage of off-peak tariffs. For example, charging a 77kWh Volkswagen ID.3 from zero to 100 per cent with an Ohme EV charger on an off-peak tariff, such as SSE Airtricity’s Night Boost*, could cost just €7.34 for an electric range of more than 574kms (WLTP Combined).

Over a year and 10,000kms of driving, this would equate to running costs of less than €130. Ohme also offers drivers the option to charge their car when renewable energy generation is at its highest, further lowering their CO2 impact.

Partnerships and Awards

Ohme is the official EV charger provider for the Volkswagen Group, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo Cars, and Polestar in Ireland. The company has also collaborated with Donegal County Council and Iarnród Éireann. In recognition of its achievements, Ohme was named Fast Track Company of the Year in the 2023 UK Green Business Awards and Best Chargepoint Manufacturer in the 2024 Irish EV Awards.

* SSE Airtricity Night Boost tariff – 9.53c/kWh
