The Charging Deal You Didn’t Know You Needed
XPENG UK just made life easier for its customers by naming Ohme as its exclusive home charging partner. Translation? If you’re buying one of those slick new G6 coupe-SUVs, you can now get a free smart charger thrown in (until September, at least) that’ll save you proper cash on charging.
Why Ohme? Because Your Energy Bill Sucks
Let’s be real – nobody enjoys paying through the nose for electricity. That’s where Ohme’s dynamic charging comes in clutch:
- Auto-sniffs out cheapest energy tariffs (we’re talking 7p/kWh on Intelligent Octopus Go)
- Solar boost function to max out your panels if you’ve got ’em
- 354-mile G6 charge for just £6.13 – cheaper than a pint in central London
Ohme’s kit isn’t just smart – it’s basically a financial advisor for your EV, constantly hunting down the greenest, cheapest juice without you lifting a finger.
About That G6 You’ll Be Charging
While we’re here, let’s talk about what’s actually plugging into these chargers. XPENG’s G6 Long Range is the Chinese brand’s first UK offering, packing:
- 87.5kWh battery (good for that 354-mile WLTP range)
- Coupe-SUV vibes that make a Tesla Model Y look a bit basic
- Next-gen tech that’ll probably make your iPhone feel outdated
It’s proper premium kit, and now it comes with charging that won’t make your eyes water.
Free Charger? Don’t Mind If I Do
Here’s the kicker – buy a G6 Long Range before September’s out and you’ll get an Ohme home charger installed on the house. Considering these normally cost £1,000+ fitted, that’s not to be sniffed at.
The Bigger Picture
This partnership makes absolute sense – XPENG gets to offer a complete “car + charging” package, while Ohme scores another big-name client to add to its roster (they already supply Motability Operations, aka the UK’s largest fleet).
For UK EV buyers, it’s another sign that the charging experience is becoming just as important as the car itself – and that smart energy deals are the secret weapon in making electric motoring properly affordable.
Now we just need to convince XPENG to bring over their mental X9 MPV next…
