Ohme has expanded its data integration with Volkswagen Group, adding a dedicated API through Volkswagen Group Info Services, which can pair a vehicle with a home charger.
Drivers of Audi, Cupra, Seat, Škoda, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and Volkswagen electric vehicles (EVs) can now view their vehicle’s state of charge in the Ohme app.
The integration is live now across Europe.
Ohme said the integration gives improved clarity over energy use and costs, removing guesswork from the home charging process.
Over 100,000 Volkswagen Group customers in Europe use Ohme to manage their home charging.
Lasse Schmidt van Hülst, lead sales and key account management from Volkswagen Group Info Services, said: “We’re excited that Ohme is applying Volkswagen Group Charging Data to enhance its charging services.
“As home electricity tariffs across Europe become smarter and more dynamic, Ohme’s expertise and software means this new integration with Volkswagen Group Info Services AG comes at the perfect time for EV drivers.”
Peter McDonald, mobility director at Ohme, said: “We’re genuinely proud to be extending our partnership with Volkswagen Group Info Services AG in this way.
“Having direct access to the vehicle state of charge data means our customers get a truly hassle-free charging experience – the app does the hard work, automatically finding the cheapest times to charge.
“It’s a real statement of where Ohme is heading and underlines its commitment to giving EV drivers the best possible experience.”
