Ohme and OSW to partner on EV charging

Smart EV charging company Ohme and solar panel distributer OSW have announced a new partnership for the Australian market.

“OSW is the largest solar panel distributor in Australia and is rapidly growing internationally,” said Usama Aslam, Head of Product & Marketing at OSW. “Partnering with Ohme in Australia allows us to deliver a class-leading EV charging service to our customers and represents a step forward for us in providing exceptional technical support.”

With Wi-Fi connectivity and solar compatibility, Ohme’s range of chargers has been developed specifically for the Australian market. Thanks to dynamic tariff integration, the company said that Ohme chargers can help Australian drivers to charge their EVs more economically and efficiently.

Ohme will take advantage of a market where EVs are growing in popularity, with EV sales in Australia up 16.5% in the first half of 2024 and the ACT witnessing 24% of EV penetration. The company said its chargers offer a combination of integration for EVs, solar compatibility, flexibility with all electricity tariffs and built-in load balancing.

“We are looking forward to introducing Ohme’s chargers to OSW customers and sharing with them why Ohme has enjoyed such rapid growth in the UK and Europe,” said Reece Davis from Ohme Australia.

“Ohme’s low-cost and low CO₂ flexible charging capability at a highly competitive price will help our chargers to stand out alongside the local customer service and charger installers across Australia.”

Ohme is the official charger provider for the Volkswagen Group and Polestar in both the UK and Ireland as well as Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai in the UK and Volvo Cars in Ireland. It was named Fast Track Company of the Year in the 2023 UK Green Business Awards and Best Chargepoint Manufacturer in the 2024 Irish EV Awards.
