I was going to put it at the side of the house, low down hiding behind the bins. We’re going for the untethered version so cable only on show once a week whilst charging. I messaged Ohme about security, they responded saying: “When a car is charging, if the car is locked the charger will be impossible to remove. This is an option for most if not all electric cars. As an example, please see Vauxhall’s site here – Charging at home | Electric | Vauxhall – “While your vehicle is charging, simply lock your car and the central locking system will securely lock the charging cable in place. Meaning no one can remove or use your charger once your vehicle is locked.”
Yes the Enyak will lock the plug on the end of the cable in place, when the doors are locked. What I’m not sure but will ask an ex workmate who fits alot of Ohme if the cable actually locks at the charger. If it doesn’t and Ohme haven’t updated the software, the charger essentially the weak spot! i.e unplug the cable from the charger, didconnects mains volrtage….!!
I worked mainly on the commercial side instaaling charger and any domestic work I did, was with the likes of Pod point Zappi, Easee and Project
Ive never been a fan of Ohme’s stuff, although they jumped on the bandwagon to work with the likes of Octopus and OVO, offering cheap tariffs however many electric vehicles are now compatible with Ohme and OVO regardless of charger. Other chargers on the market such as those mentioned offer both E-SIM & WiFi often with lifetime access to the E-SIM, Ohme only a free 3 year E-SIM subscription, after which you need to pay a small subscription to keep smartcharging and there chargers aren’t Wifi compatible, leaving no option but to pay a subscrption. The other negative for me, is Ohme’s chargers aren’t Solar PV capable, which is mainly the reason Ive never being bothered with them.
