Ohme is a provider of home chargers for electric vehicles, using a smart technology designed to encourage drivers to take advantage of flexible home electricity tariffs.[1] It was named Fast Track Company of the Year at the UK Green Business Awards 2023.[2]
The company was established in 2017 as a subsidiary of Temporis Capital, a renewable energy investment fund co-founded by David Watson and Derry Guy in 2010.[3] It has offices in Cork and London and employs around 120 people.[3] Watson, who was born in Cork and has a PhD from the University of Cambridge, is the CEO.[4]
In September 2022, Watson claimed the company had up to 25 percent of the home-charger market in the UK and Ireland and that he expected this to rise to 50 percent by 2023.[4] It is the official EV charging supplier to Motability, the car-fleet operator which provides 600,000 vehicles to disabled drivers in the UK.[4] It is also the official charging partner of Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Polestar, Audi, Škoda Auto and Cupra, a brand of SEAT.[5]
Ohme − pronounced ″oh-me″[6] – is both an anagram of ′home′ and a play on the word ohm, the unit of electrical resistance.[4]
It was cited by the Financial Times-backed Sifted as a start-up with the potential to be a ″gigacorn″ – a company with the ability to get rid of one gigatonne CO2 from the atmosphere every year.[7] It was highly commended at the Marie Claire Sustainability Awards 2023, where it was named as the UK’s fastest-growing EV-charging company.[8]
