AA Ireland charge ahead with EV partner Ohme

Cork-based smart charging company Ohme is the new official EV charging partner 
for the AA Ireland. 
The agreement will see the AA recommend Ohme EV chargers as all part of its wider 
programme to encourage more drivers in Ireland to make the switch to electric. The 
AA also offers EV-specific insurance and is currently offering three months of free EV 
insurance for its customers. 
“Our partnership with the AA underlines Ohme’s position as one of Ireland’s fastest 
growing smart charging companies,” said David Watson, CEO at Ohme. “The AA is a 
trusted, household brand in Ireland and Ohme has just been named the Best EV 
Chargepoint Manufacturer in the recent Irish EV awards, so this is a perfect 
partnership bringing the benefits of off-peak charging with reduced running costs to 
EV drivers in Ireland.” 
“We are delighted to announce that we will be partnering with Ohme as our official 
home charger supplier,” said Tom McIlduff, CEO at AA Ireland. “Ohme’s award- 
winning ePod and Home Pro chargers and reputation for excellent customer service 
meant it was the obvious choice for The AA and a great way to collaborate with a fast-- 
expanding Irish business.” 
Priced from €1099, Ohme’s range of smart chargers can connect seamlessly with all 
of Ireland’s electricity suppliers and automatically adjust an EV’s charging for drivers 
to take advantage of off-peak tariffs. 
For instance, charging a 77kWh Volkswagen ID.3 from zero to 100 per cent with an 
Ohme EV charger on an off-peak tariff, such as SSE Airtricity’s Night Boost, (SSE 
Airtricity Night Boost tariff – 9.53c/kWh), could cost €7.34 for an electric range of 
more than 574kms (WLTP Combined). Over a year and 10,000kms of 
driving that would equate to running costs of less than €130. 
Ohme also offers drivers the option to charge their car when renewable energy 
generation is at its highest, further lowering their CO2 impact. Ohme is the official 
EV charger provider for the Volkswagen Group, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo Cars and 
Polestar in Ireland and has worked with several other partners including 
Donegal County Council and Iarnród Éireann.
