The ePod has a 7KW power output rate.

This basically refers to how fast it can charge your car. A 7KW rate will add around 25 mph of power to your vehicle, which is plenty for most people. This rate can vary slightly depending on the specific vehicle.

The ePod currently does not have a 22KW option.

Connector Type

The Ohme ePod charger is untethered. This means that it doesn’t have a permanently attached cable, which has a number of pros and cons.

The charger has a universal port, so both type 1 and type 2 cables can be used. This is one of the major differences from its predecessor the tethered charger the Ohme Home Pro.

Size

The Ohme ePod is a compact design made to blend in with its surroundings utilising a sleek and modern design.

The full dimensions of the charger in mm are H230 x W140 x D100. This compact format means it doesn’t take up that much space in your garage or driveway, and allows it to be easily hidden when not in use. It is one of the smaller chargers on the market and we class it as a ‘Compact Charger’

Design

Visually, the ePod is designed to be unobtrusive and appealing, letting it blend with your existing decor. 

It aims to be a functional device while also not creating an eyesore within your home. This can be especially important if you plan to install the charger in your driveway, which is often clearly visible from the street.

The device is weatherproof, suitable for use outdoors without full shelter. It has an IP55 rating for water ingress.

Its materials are durable, meaning it can withstand a fair beating before breaking. This is especially important when you’re spending so much money on a device.

The charger doesn’t have any colour options and is only available in plain black.

Connectivity

The smart charger comes with a built-in 3g / 4g mobile signal using a SIM card that allows it to connect to the Ohme Data Centre. This means it doesn’t require a connection to your home’s WiFi to work.

The main benefit of this is that you can place the charger anywhere on your property without worrying about its proximity to your WiFi router.

The downside, however, is that if you live in a place with a poor mobile signal, you may have issues with the device. This is most impactful in very rural areas. Generally, if your phone struggles to connect often, the Ohme charger will as well.

Earth Rod

The Ohme ePod has a PEN fault device inside, negating the need for a separate earth rod.

Warranty

The device comes with a 3-year warranty, allowing you to contact Ohme for a replacement if any issues arise.

Car Compatibility

The Ohme ePod works with all electric vehicles from all major EV vehicle manufacturers, as you can use either a type 1 or type 2 cable.
