Ohme Home Pro 8m – The Smart EV Charger with Extra Reach

The Ohme Home Pro 8 m is a top-tier 7.4 kW smart EV charger designed for convenience, flexibility, and long-term savings. With its extended 8-metre tethered Type 2 cable, it’s the ideal choice for households where your vehicle isn’t parked directly next to the charger – think driveways, carports, and garages with rear or side access. It delivers the same cutting-edge smart charging technology found across the Ohme range, now with extra reach.

Whether you want to reduce your EV charging costs using a smart energy tariff like Octopus Intelligent Go, or prioritise your solar panels to power your car, the Ohme Home Pro 8 m does it all – automatically. Thanks to built-in 4G connectivity, advanced scheduling, and a bright LCD screen for on-unit control, it makes daily charging effortless, efficient, and affordable.

If you’re searching for a smart EV charger that’s trusted, future-ready, and built for UK homes, the Ohme Home Pro 8 m is a brilliant solution backed by LAMPS’s expert support and fast delivery.

Charge Smarter with Energy Tariff Integration & Solar Compatibility

The Ohme Home Pro 8 m connects directly to your electricity tariff to charge your EV at the cheapest possible times – automatically. It’s compatible with leading UK energy providers such as Octopus Energy, OVO, E.ON Next, and British Gas, helping you reduce your electric vehicle running costs by syncing with off-peak pricing. If you're on Octopus Intelligent Go, the charger can schedule charging during low-cost windows, all without manual input.

For solar-powered homes, the Ohme app includes a Solar Boost mode, allowing you to prioritise charging your EV using excess energy from your PV system. This feature increases self-consumption and means you’re using energy you’ve generated, not buying from the grid.

With its intelligent integration and solar support, the Ohme Home Pro 8 m makes it easier than ever to reduce your energy bills, cut carbon emissions, and make the most of your smart tariff and solar setup.

Full Control via Smartphone or On-Charger Display

Whether you're at home, at work, or away on holiday, the Ohme Home Pro 8 m gives you full control of your EV charging. Using either the intuitive Ohme mobile app or the integrated colour LCD display, you can manage charging sessions, monitor costs, and make quick adjustments in real time.

• Ohme App: Set target charge levels, define off-peak windows, enable Solar Boost mode, and track your charging history – all from your phone.
• On-Unit Controls: The LCD screen and physical buttons allow you to plug in, select schedules, or pause charging without needing your phone.

Thanks to its built-in 3G/4G SIM card (with 3 years of data included), the Ohme Home Pro 8 m stays connected at all times. That means automatic software updates, access to new features, and consistent performance without relying on your home Wi-Fi.

8 Metre Tethered Cable for Flexible Parking

One of the standout features of the Ohme Home Pro 8 m is its extra-long 8-metre Type 2 cable, giving you more freedom over where you mount your charger. Whether your driveway is tight, your parking bay is offset, or you're installing in a garage with limited wall space, this charger ensures the cable reaches your vehicle with ease.

It delivers a powerful 7.4 kW charging speed, which is up to three times faster than using a standard 3-pin plug. That means quicker top-ups overnight, and full charges that fit around your routine – not the other way round.

As with all Ohme Home Pro models, this version includes integrated safety protections to meet UK standards, including:

• RCD Protection: Type A 30mA with 6mA DC fault detection
• PEN Fault Detection: Protects against loss of earth and ensures safe operation

Whether you're charging a compact EV or a long-range SUV, the 8 m cable makes life simpler and safer – no extension leads, no stretching, and no compromises.
