Ohme Home Pro charger: 7.4kW EV charging and installation.

Ready to ditch the petrol station for good? Meet the Ohme Home Pro. It’s the EV charger that puts the power back in your hands, literally. With its built-in screen and tethered cable, it’s designed for drivers who want a "plug-in and forget" experience without needing to fumble for their phone every time.

Whether you're new to EVs or upgrading your setup, we’re here to help you figure out if the Ohme Home Pro is the right teammate for your driveway. Let’s get into the details.

Fitting the Ohme Home Pro into your space.

Before we talk about volts and amps, let’s talk about fit. The Ohme Home Pro is a "tethered" unit, which means the charging cable is permanently attached. This is great for convenience, but it means you need to think a little more about where you put it.

The Ohme Home Pro dimensions and how to mount it.

It’s a neat, landscape-oriented unit that won’t dominate your wall.

• The unit: 170mm (H) x 200mm (W) x 100mm (D).

• Mounting height: Ideally installed 1m – 1.2m from the ground for ergonomic access.

• Cable length: 5m standard, 8m option available.

You can mount it on a flat wall (brick or render) or a sturdy post. Because the cable is attached, you need to make sure the unit is positioned so the cable can reach your car's charging port comfortably without being pulled tight like a guitar string.

Since you can't swap the cable later, grab a tape measure and check these three things:

The reach: Park your car how you usually do. Where is the charging flap? Make sure the charger location allows the cable to reach easily without draping over the bonnet or bumper.

The trip hazard: Avoid crossing public footpaths. If the cable has to run across your garden path, will it be a hazard for the postman or the kids?

The access: The Home Pro has a screen and buttons. Install it at a height where you can easily read the display, don't hide it behind a bush or a bin!

Installing the Ohme Home Pro: What to expect.

Getting a charger installed isn't a DIY job, but knowing the process helps you ask the right questions. Here is the lowdown on getting your Ohme Home Pro installation sorted.

The Ohme Home Pro is designed to be the "easy" option.

The cable is attached to the unit. It comes with a standard Type 2 plug, which fits almost every modern EV on the UK market.

• The win: You arrive home, grab the cable off the wall, and plug in. No opening the boot, no uncoiling a wet cable from the back seat. It’s perfect for daily drivers.

• The consideration: You need to wrap the cable neatly around the unit (or a hook) when you’re done to keep your driveway looking sharp.

On-unit screen and buttons.

Unlike many "blind" chargers, the Home Pro has a colour LCD screen and three control buttons on the front.Why does this matter? You can check your battery percentage, see the current charging speed, or pause the charge without unlocking your phone. It’s a nice bit of reassurance that everything is working.

Devices, cars and tariffs: What works with Ohme Home Pro.

Ohme is famous for its brainpower. The software integrates with all energy providers and is specifically tuned for smart EV tariffs. It talks to the grid to charge your car when energy is cheapest or greenest, potentially saving you a bundle.

4G connectivity and why it matters.

The Home Pro doesn’t use Wi-Fi. It has a built-in 3G/4G multinet SIM that hunts for the strongest mobile signal (like a mobile phone that works on every network).

• Why? Wi-Fi often drops out on driveways. Mobile data is more reliable for outdoor kit.

• Cost? Ohme covers the data cost for the first 3 years.

• Updates: It receives over-the-air updates automatically, so it gets smarter over time.

Cable entry options and routing.

For the neat-freaks (we see you):

• Rear entry: The cable comes through the wall directly into the back of the unit. No visible wiring. Very slick.

• Underside entry: If the cable runs along the surface of the brickwork, it enters from the bottom.

Choosing the right mounting surface for your Ohme Home Pro.

Your installer will look for a solid fixing point.

• Ideal: Brick, rendered blockwork, or a dedicated mounting post.

• Avoid: Flimsy fencing or vibrating surfaces.

• Check: They will ensure the wall is stable and isn't prone to damp where the drilling occurs.

Ohme Home Pro connectivity and software intelligence.

The Home Pro isn't just a plug; it's a smart device.

• Dynamic charging: It speaks to the grid. If wind power is high and prices are low, it charges. If the grid is dirty and expensive, it waits.

• Control: You have total control via the app, but the on-unit buttons let you override schedules instantly if you need a quick "boost" charge.

Why we love the Ohme Home Pro EV charger.

• The screen: It sounds simple, but being able to check your status without unlocking your phone is a game-changer.

• The ease: No hunting for cables in the rain.

• The brains: It turns your car into a battery that buys energy when it's cheap.

Why get the Ohme Home Pro?

The Ohme Home Pro is the "power user" choice that keeps things simple. It combines the convenience of a petrol pump (just grab the nozzle) with the intelligence of a smart home device. If you have the space for a tethered unit and want instant visual feedback on your charging, this is the one for you.
