Suzuki has chosen Cork-based Ohme as its new and exclusive home EV charging partner in Ireland with the arrival to its dealerships of the new e Vitara. The partnership will see Suzuki recommend Ohme chargers to customers who need a home charging solution in addition to a similar existing collaboration in the UK. Suzuki will be offering a free Ohme home charger to retail customers for a limited period. Ohme chargers will be available to view in Suzuki dealers, with Ohme providing a full solution including the charger and installation as well as dealer training and support. Ohme is the largest home EV charging company in Ireland and the UK and is the fastest growing EV charging company across Europe.
“As Suzuki’s first ever electric car, the introduction of e Vitara will be crucial for us in Ireland and our partnership with Ohme will play an important part in that car’s success,” said David Kateley, Director of Automobile from Suzuki GB and Republic of Ireland. “Ohme’s cutting edge technology will help to lower running costs for owners, while their commitment to customer service makes them an ideal match for us improving the ownership experience of the e Vitara still further.”
David Watson, CEO of Ohme said: “I’m delighted to announce this new collaboration with Suzuki. With Suzuki’s expertise in the four-wheel drive market, the e Vitara is a great choice for those wanting to combine 4×4 technology with electric motoring. We’re looking forward to introducing Suzuki’s customers to the benefits of dynamic charging and supporting its dealer network.”
The new Suzuki e Vitara will be offered with the choice of two battery options, 49kWh and 61kWh and will include a warranty of up to 10 years/ 160,000 kms with a battery warranty included. Ohme’s dynamic EV chargers are compatible with Ireland’s best and most affordable energy tariffs. Ohme chargers automatically adjust to optimise the cost of charging and accessing all the times of the smartest, greenest and lowest cost energy tariffs as well as featuring a solar boost function reducing reliance on the grid. Fully-charging a Suzuki e Vitara with an 61kWh battery using an Ohme charger on a smart EV tariff such as Energia EV Smart Drive*, could cost less than €6 (based on its 426km WLTP range).
