Ohme integrates with Volkswagen Group Info Services

EV drivers of selected Volkswagen models can now access cheaper home charging with Ohme.

Building on Ohme’s existing partnership with the Volkswagen Group in the UK and Ireland, the integration with Volkswagen Group Info Services AG will mean all Ohme users get a dedicated official API to pair the car with their Ohme home charger and read the car’s state of charge in near real time. 

The partnership includes EV vehicles for Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Škoda, SEAT, CUPRA and Audi.

More than 100,000 Volkswagen Group customers across Europe already use Ohme to manage their home charging. The new integration means those drivers will now see their vehicle’s state of charge displayed directly in the Ohme app, removing the guesswork from the charging process and giving improved clarity over their energy use and costs.

“We’re excited that Ohme is applying Volkswagen Group Charging Data to enhance its charging services,” said Lasse Schmidt van Hülst, lead sales and key account management from Volkswagen Group Info Services. “As home electricity tariffs across Europe become smarter and more dynamic, Ohme’s expertise and software means this new integration with Volkswagen Group Info Services AG comes at the perfect time for EV drivers.”

Peter McDonald from Ohme added: “Having direct access to the vehicle state of charge data means our customers get a truly hassle-free charging experience – the app does the hard work, automatically finding the cheapest times to charge. It’s a real statement of where Ohme is heading and underlines its commitment to giving EV drivers the best possible experience.”
