GoPlugable Partners with Ohme: A Smart Move for Ireland's EV Drivers

We are excited to announce that GoPlugable has partnered with Cork-based dynamic EV charging company Ohme as our official home charger partner in Ireland.

GoPlugable is Ireland’s platform for locating, reserving, and sharing home charging points for EV drivers. Established in 2023, our mission is to solve the problem faced by Irish EV drivers who lack easy access to home charging. By enhancing convenience for drivers and improving the charging infrastructure, we aim to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles.

Ohme owners in Ireland can now become GoPlugable hosts and earn money by sharing their home EV chargers when not in use. Additionally, Ohme customers will receive an exclusive offer when they sign up on the GoPlugable platform. Details of this offer can be found on our website.

“We are delighted to announce Ohme as our official home charging partner,” said GoPlugable CEO Maebh Reynolds. “With Ohme being the fastest-growing smart EV charging company in Ireland, it’s great for us to be working with them to help with the transition to greater EV adoption in all forms.”

David Watson, Ohme CEO, added, “GoPlugable is a really exciting new company for Ireland, helping to grow EV adoption and make it easier for drivers to make the switch. This collaboration will help Ohme customers not only to get paid from renting their charger out to other EV users but to help play a part in growing the EV public charging network.”

Ohme’s range of smart chargers seamlessly connect with all of Ireland’s electricity suppliers, automatically adjusting an EV’s charging schedule to take advantage of off-peak tariffs. For example, charging a 77kWh Volkswagen ID.3 from zero to 100% with an Ohme EV charger on an off-peak tariff, such as SSE Airtricity’s Night Boost, could cost just €7.34 for an electric range of more than 574kms (WLTP Combined). Over a year and 10,000kms of driving, that equates to running costs of less than €130. Ohme also offers the option to charge cars when renewable energy generation is at its highest, further lowering CO2 impact.

Ohme is the official EV charger provider for Volkswagen Group, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo Cars, and Polestar in Ireland. They have also collaborated with Donegal County Council and Iarnród Éireann. Recognized as Fast Track Company of the Year in the 2023 UK Green Business Awards and Best Chargepoint Manufacturer in the 2024 Irish EV Awards, Ohme is a key player in the EV charging landscape.
