Bradford-based JCT600 Vehicle Leasing Solutions (VLS) has announced its partnership with Ohme, a home EV charging provider.
Set up in 2017, Ohme is the official charger provider for the Volkswagen Group, Volvo Cars and Polestar in the UK and Ireland, as well as Mercedes-Benz and Hyundai in the UK.
The new tie-up aims to make EV home charging simple for JCT600 VLS customers. Rebecca Eggington, Head of Customer Experience for JCT600 VLS, explains why the leasing business selected Ohme:
“We wanted a product that was best-in-class, provided cutting edge technology to support the charger and could be used by all drivers regardless of the EV they had or their energy tariff. Finding a partner that closely aligns with our own values was important to us. Ohme prides itself on ensuring customers are well supported through every stage of the journey, and this is why we trust them to look after our customers.”
Ohme’s smart chargers connect with the grid in real time and automatically optimise the cost of charging by using the cheapest and greenest energy tariffs. The chargers also enable drivers to lower their carbon emission impact by connecting when the National Grid’s renewable energy generation is at its highest.
David Watson, CEO at Ohme, commented on the new partnership:
“We are delighted to be named as JCT600 VLS’ official EV charger provider. The combination of JCT600 VLS’ expertise and immense business fleet knowledge with Ohme’s position as the UK’s leading dynamic EV charging company, will help drivers and fleets to charge smarter and greener as well as making significant savings on their running costs.”
