Ohme EV Charging Point Installation: Smart Home Charging for Modern EV Drivers

Discover the benefits of the Ohme Home Pro EV charging point, including smart tariff integration, 7.4kW charging, app control and professional installation by J.Shaw Group.

Ohme EV Charging Point Installation

As electric vehicles continue to grow in popularity across the UK, more homeowners are looking for a reliable, convenient and cost-effective way to charge their vehicle at home. One of the most popular choices for residential EV charging is the Ohme Home Pro, a smart, tethered EV charging point designed to make home charging simple, efficient and intelligent.

At J.Shaw Group, we supply and install EV charging points for homes and businesses, helping customers choose the right charger for their vehicle, property and energy tariff. The Ohme Home Pro is a strong option for customers who want a smart, modern and easy-to-use charging solution.

“What Is the Ohme Home Pro?

The Ohme Home Pro is a wall-mounted smart EV charger designed for domestic EV charging. It is a 7.4kW / 32A home charger, supplied with a tethered Type 2 cable and a built-in colour screen, allowing users to view charging information directly from the unit. Ohme lists the charger as having a 5m tethered Type 2 cable as standard, with an 8m cable upgrade available as an optional extra.

Unlike a standard outdoor socket or 3-pin plug, a dedicated EV charging point is designed specifically for electric vehicle charging. This means faster, safer and more convenient charging from home, when installed correctly by a qualified electrical contractor.

Features of the Ohme Home Pro

The Ohme Home Pro includes a number of useful features that make it a practical choice for EV owners.

  • 1. Smart Charging
  • The Ohme Home Pro can automatically schedule charging around your chosen settings, helping you charge at convenient times and potentially make better use of off-peak electricity tariffs. Ohme states that the Home Pro supports dynamic smart charging and energy tariff integration.
  • This is particularly useful for customers with smart EV tariffs, where charging overnight or during cheaper rate periods can help reduce running costs.
  • 2. Built-In Display Screen
  • One of the standout features of the Ohme Home Pro is the built-in colour LCD screen. This allows users to see important charging information directly on the charger, rather than relying solely on an app.
  • The charger can also be controlled through the Ohme app, buttons on the charger, or the built-in LCD screen.
  • 3. Tethered Type 2 Cable
  • The Ohme Home Pro comes with a tethered Type 2 cable, meaning the charging lead is permanently attached to the unit. For many homeowners, this is more convenient than an untethered charger because there is no need to get a separate charging cable out of the boot every time the vehicle needs charging.
  • A tethered charger is often a good choice for customers who regularly charge the same vehicle at home.
  • 4. 4G Connectivity
  • The Ohme Home Pro includes a multi-network SIM card for connectivity, helping the charger communicate with the Ohme app and smart charging features without relying solely on Wi-Fi. Ohme confirms the Home Pro uses a 4G multi-net SIM card for connectivity.
  • This can be useful where Wi-Fi signal at the charger location is weak or unreliable.
  • 5. Home Power Balancing
  • The Ohme Home Pro supports home power balancing, which helps manage the electrical load within the property. This is important because an EV charger can place a significant demand on the household electrical supply.
  • A professionally installed charger should be assessed properly before installation, including checking the existing electrical supply, consumer unit, earthing arrangement, cable route and any additional protection requirements.
  • 6. Solar Charging Compatible
  • Ohme also lists the Home Pro as solar charging compatible, making it a useful option for customers who already have solar PV or are considering solar in the future.
