REF: Extended Data plan after the 3 yr warranty expires
I am seeing conflicting info about what happens Ohme data plan after 3yrs
Based on current information, an extended 2-year warranty for an Ohme charger offered to Motability customers typically costs approximately £90.
See my post above about getting another 2yr extended warranty
As mentioned by someone above look out for the @ invite to extend ( you will have 30 days to accept an extension if it needed) otherwise you will lose this option
Whilst also remembering the end of 3yrs Ohme warranty should be taken from Charger install date and not the start of a cars lease

I am seeing conflicting info about what happens with the Ohme data plan after 3yrs
but suggest that you contact Ohme direct to be sure of its accuracy

Regarding the data plan for the Ohme charger’s 4G connection:
Cost: The 4G SIM card for data usage on the Ohme Home Pro is generally included for free for the first three years of use.
After 3 Years: Ohme has indicated that they currently have no plans to charge for the 4G data connection once the initial three years are up.
Alternative: The charger can also be connected via Wi-Fi if a 4G connection is unavailable or after the 4G guarantee period. Smart Home Charge +4
Note: The standard Motability and Ohme installation includes a three-year warranty, so the 2-year extension is for coverage beyond that initial period.

Make of it what you will
( This is where I suspect pro/home are/maybe treated differently so best get in touch with Ohme imo )
Here are the key details regarding the Ohme data plan post-warranty:
Cost: Ohme has stated they will charge a maximum of £2 per month, though they have expressed a desire to keep this cost to a minimum.
Alternative: If you choose not to pay the subscription fee, the charger will still function as a “dumb” charger, but you will lose the smart features, such as app connectivity, over-the-air updates, and automated off-peak charging schedules.
Exceptions: Some sources suggest that Ohme may continue to offer free connectivity for users who enable “dynamic charging,” as the data is valuable to the grid, but this is not guaranteed.
Alternative for ePod: Some reports suggest that for the Ohme ePod, the data usage may remain free throughout the lifespan of the charger. Reddit +4
The 3-year warranty covers parts and labour for faults, and after this period, you may need to pay for repairs or an extended warranty directly from Ohme
