A new Ohme Home Pro smart EV charger was installed at a home in Long Eaton, ready for everyday charging.
A quick summary of this project
This project was a home EV charger installation in Long Eaton, Derbyshire. The customer wanted a dedicated charging point at home for their electric car and chose the Ohme Home Pro, a smart charger.
We installed the Ohme Home Pro at the property. The customer now has a dedicated home charger they can control through the Ohme app, instead of relying on public chargers or a standard plug socket.
What the customer's situation was before we got involved
The customer drives an electric car and wanted a better way to charge it at home. Without a dedicated charger, the options are public charging points or a standard household socket. Public chargers mean extra trips and waiting, and a standard socket is slow and not designed for regular, long charging sessions.
They had already chosen the Ohme Home Pro as their charger and needed a qualified electrician to install it at their home in Long Eaton.
The work carried out on this job
The customer booked online for us to install their Ohme Home Pro 7.4kW 5m Tethered EV Charger at their home in Long Eaton.
The Ohme Home Pro is a smart home charger. It connects to the Ohme app, so the owner can see charging information and manage when the car charges. It’s also designed to work with smart energy tariffs, so charging can be planned around cheaper electricity rates where the customer’s tariff offers them.
An EV charger draws a high, sustained load for hours at a time, so it needs a dedicated supply rather than an existing socket. We installed the Ohme Home Pro as a fixed charging point at the property.
With the installation complete, the customer can now charge their electric car at home. They have a reliable, dedicated charger they can manage from their phone, which makes topping up overnight or between journeys much simpler.
For homeowners in Long Eaton and the surrounding area thinking about a home charger, we can install the Ohme Home Pro 7.4kW 5m Tethered EV Charger and talk you through what the installation involves for your property.
