What is the Ohme ePod?
The Ohme ePod is a next-generation, untethered smart EV charger, designed to fit seamlessly into any modern home. Unlike traditional fixed-cable chargers, the Ohme ePod gives you the freedom to use your choice of charging cable—ideal if you switch vehicles or have multiple EVs at home.

Why Smart EV Chargers Matter Now
Smart EV chargers are no longer just a nice-to-have—they’re a must for any savvy Irish homeowner (More info on: EO Mini Pro 3 Review) . As electricity prices fluctuate and demand grows, being able to charge at off-peak times is invaluable. The Ohme ePod uses the Ohme app to watch electricity tariffs, automatically shifting your charging to the cheapest hours. This means real savings every month, greater energy efficiency, and a greener approach that supports Ireland’s drive to a lower-carbon future.
