Genesis names Ohme as its official home charging partner

Korea’s Genesis has become the latest EV specialists to choose Ohme as its exclusive home charging partner.

The new partnership will see the premium brand’s dealers recommend Ohme’s Home Pro and ePod devices to customers buying a Genesis GV60, GV70 or Electrified G80. A simple referral scheme will allow buyers to arrange the purchase and installation of a charger through the Genesis retail network.

Ohme’s dynamic EV chargers use live data from the grid and are compatible with the latest dynamic EV tariffs as well as more traditional overnight packages. Working with dynamic tariffs such as Intelligent Octopus Go, Ohme’s chargers automatically adjust to access energy when it is cheapest and greenest.

Fully charging a new Genesis GV60 with its 84kWh battery using an Ohme charger on a dynamic EV tariff could cost just £5.88 for its 348-mile range. Ohme also offers drivers the option to charge their car when renewable energy generation on the national grid is at its highest, further lowering their CO2 impact.

“Ohme’s strong customer service ethos aligns with Genesis’ Son Nim customer centric approach,” said Ashley Andrew, president and CEO of Genesis and Hyundai UK. “As a result, we’re delighted to partner with Ohme for the benefit of our customers and our retailer network.”

“We’re looking forward to bringing the Ohme benefits of easy charging and low running costs to Genesis customers.” said Peter McDonald, Ohme director. “With Genesis refreshing its line-up of electric models this year, customers not only have an updated product range to choose from but access to all that Ohme can bring to their ownership experience.”

Genesis is the latest in a long list of EV makers to partner with UK-based Ohme. Other big names who recommend its home units include Volkswagen, Hyundai, Suzuki, Smart and Polestar, as well as Motability Operations.
