Ohme becomes home charging partner of XPENG UK
Chinese EV brand XPENG only arrived in the UK earlier this year, after launching the electric XPENG G6 back in January. But until now, there has been no charging partnership in place – at least, not one that is ‘exclusive’ in this way.
Besides the offer of a complimentary charger between now and September, it’s not clear whether the Ohme charger package will remain free to new XPENG customers or purchased as an additional extra. However, Ohme has outlined potential running costs, claiming that fully charging an XPENG G6 Long-Range with an 87.5kWh battery on a dynamic EV tariff like Intelligent Octopus Go could cost around £6.13.
Additionally, Ohme’s chargers use dynamic pricing based on live grid data, and give drivers the option to charge when renewable energy generation into the grid reaches a peak. In a statement, Ohme said: “Ohme chargers automatically adjust to optimise the cost of charging and accessing all the times of the smartest, greenest, and lowest cost energy tariffs as well as featuring a solar boost function reducing reliance on the grid.”
William Brown, XPENG UK’s Marketing Director, said: “We are delighted that we will be partnering with Ohme as our exclusive home charging supplier. Intuitive, everyday mobility is one of the XPENG’s fundamental values and Ohme’s unique dynamic charging capabilities, user-friendly app and excellent customer service make it the ideal partner for us, our customers and the development of our retailer network.”
Ohme is also the UK charging partner of several other EV brands, including Smart UK, Hyundai, Mercedes and more, and offers their customers a similar package.
