EV charging host service provider GoPlugable has chosen Cork-based smart charging platform provider Ohme as its official home charger partner in Ireland. Established in 2023, GoPlugable is an Ireland-based platform for locating, reserving and sharing home charging points for EV users. The company aims to solve the problem of Irish EV drivers who don’t have easy access to home charging.
With the partnership, owners of Ohme chargers in Ireland can become a GoPlugable host and earn money by sharing their home EV charger when it’s not in use. Ohme customers will also be entitled to an exclusive offer when they sign up on the Goplugable platform.
Ohme’s range of smart chargers is compatible with all of Ireland’s electricity suppliers and automatically adjusts an EV’s charging levels. For example, charging a 77kWh Volkswagen ID.3 from 0-100% with an Ohme EV charger could cost just €7.34 for an electric range of more than 574km. Over a year and 10,000kms of driving that would equate to running costs of less than €130.
Ohme is the official EV charger provider for the Volkswagen Group, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo Cars and Polestar in Ireland and has worked with several other partners including Donegal County Council and Iarnród Éireann.
