Product FAQs

Q1: What is the Ohme Home Pro?

The Ohme Home Pro is a smart home EV charger delivering 7.4 kW (single-phase, 32 A) — ideal for overnight charging at home. It comes with a tethered Type 2 cable (usually 5 m, with an optional 8 m version) permanently attached.

Q2: Is the Ohme Home Pro compatible with all electric vehicles?

Yes — as long as your EV (or plug-in hybrid) uses a Type 2 connector, the Home Pro will work. However, it isn’t compatible with older vehicles using a Type 1 connector.

Q3: Does the charger need Wi-Fi, and will it still work if signal is poor?

You do not need to rely on your home Wi-Fi — the Home Pro has a built-in 3G/4G SIM card, so it connects to a mobile network. That means it usually works fine even if Wi-Fi or mobile-phone coverage is poor — though good mobile-signal reception at the charger location improves reliability.

Q4: Can I schedule charging and make use of cheaper electricity tariffs or solar energy?

Yes. Through the companion app or the built-in charger screen, you can set charging schedules (e.g. overnight), define a target battery percentage, and set a maximum price cap per kWh. The Home Pro is also solar-panel compatible (with a CT-clamp), so if you generate excess solar power, it can prioritise that for charging.

Q5: Is the charger safe and weather-resistant?

Yes — the Home Pro has built-in safety features including an earthing protection (PEN fault device), DC-leakage/RCD protection, and dynamic load-balancing to avoid overloading your home electrical supply. It’s also rated with an ingress-protection standard (IP55/IP54 depending on vendor), so it’s suitable for outdoor installation.

Q6: What does installation involve, and is a professional electrician required?

Installation is generally straightforward: the Home Pro’s built-in earthing protection means you usually don’t need an external earth rod or extra grounding equipment, which reduces installation complexity. That said, professional installation is required — both to ensure compliance with electrical safety regulations and to set up the charger properly (e.g. configuring circuit protection, cable routing, load balancing).

Installation FAQs

Q1: Do I need a survey before installation? Yes. Before we can book your EV charger installation, you must complete a home electrical survey. Q2: How long does the survey take? The online Jumptech survey usually takes 5 minutes to complete. Once submitted, our technical team will review your information and confirm whether your installation is standard or non-standard. Q3: What is a standard installation? A standard install typically includes:

Charger installed within ~15 metres of your consumer unit/electricity meter
No upgrades required to your existing electrical supply
Suitable WiFi or mobile signal for smart chargers
No groundworks or extended cable runs

If the survey identifies additional work, your installation may be classified as non-standard, and we’ll provide a tailored quote. Q4: Can I choose my installation date before completing the survey? No. The survey must be completed and approved first. This ensures we understand your setup, bring the correct materials, and send the right engineer for your installation. Q5: How long does installation take? A typical domestic installation takes around 2–4 hours. Non-standard installs may take longer depending on cable length, groundworks, or additional safety upgrades. Q6: Do I need to be at home during the installation? Yes, someone of 18 years or older must be present for:

Granting access
Agreeing the final charger position
Demonstration of the charger once installation is complete

Q7: Will you need to turn off my electricity? Yes. To work safely, the engineer will carry out an isolation at your main fuse, meaning the power wIll be off for a short period — usually 10–20 minutes. Q8: Will my home need any additional electrical work? It depends on the results of your survey. If required, we may need to:

Upgrade your consumer unit
Install new earthing or bonding

Q9: Do I need WiFi for the charger to work? Most smart chargers require either:

A reliable WiFi connection, or
A strong mobile data signal This allows features such as scheduling, load balancing, and usage monitoring to function properly.

Q10: What should I prepare before the installation?

Ensure the engineer has clear access to your consumer unit and intended charger location
Move any cars from the driveway
Make sure pets are kept safely away
Complete the Jumptech survey in advance
Have your charger (if supply-only) ready on site

Test the charger
Demonstrate how to use it
Provide guidance on the app setup
