Build Quality and Design
The Ohme Home Pro is compact at 170mm x 200mm x 100mm and one of the lightest full-featured chargers at 4kg. The LCD screen on the front shows live charging data, current rate, session cost, and energy delivered, without needing to open an app. For a quick check on your way to the car, it earns its place. IP55 handles rain and standard UK outdoor conditions well for a sheltered wall position.
Installation
You need a 32A dedicated circuit. The Home Pro runs on a built-in 4G SIM on Ohme's network rather than your home Wi-Fi, which means connectivity stays solid regardless of broadband quality or where your router sits in the house. The charger is OZEV-approved, so the EV Chargepoint Grant applies where eligible.
Charging Speed
7.4kW on a standard single-phase supply, adding 25 to 30 miles of range per hour. The smart charging system targets the cheapest electricity windows in your tariff, adjusting session timing and speed based on live pricing.
Smart Tariff Integration
Tariff intelligence is the Ohme Home Pro's defining strength. It integrates with Intelligent Octopus Go and reads live pricing to adjust charging in real time, no manual scheduling needed. Crucially, it achieves full Intelligent Octopus functionality without needing a compatible vehicle on Ohme's API list. For owners of less common EV models who get left out by other chargers, that matters.
The app also supports green charging, which schedules sessions during periods when the grid draws more from renewable sources.
Solar Charging
Solar diversion works via a CT clamp installed at your consumer unit. The charger monitors surplus generation and prioritises solar power during sessions, drawing from the grid when generation drops. It handles the core use case well, though dedicated solar-first chargers like the Zappi offer more granular control.
Key Benefits
- 4G connectivity with built-in SIM, independent of home broadband

Verdict
For drivers on Intelligent Octopus or any variable-rate tariff, the Ohme Home Pro is the strongest home charger on the market. The 4G SIM removes a real-world frustration with Wi-Fi-dependent competitors, and the LCD screen makes daily use more practical than app-only alternatives. If you track your electricity costs and want the charger to do the optimisation work for you, this is it.
