A compact socketed charger for Pembury
Would an Ohme ePod Suit Your Driveway?
The Ohme ePod offers the tariff-aware features associated with Ohme in a narrow, untethered unit. Instead of having a permanent vehicle lead, it provides a Type 2 socket so the charging cable can be removed and stored when it is not required.
Where the ePod Works Well
Its small footprint and removable cable make the ePod useful where the charger remains visible at the front of a home. Drivers can keep an appropriate lead in the vehicle and replace that lead independently if it becomes worn or damaged.
- Compact wall-mounted design
- Untethered Type 2 charging socket
- Up to 7.4kW on a suitable supply
- App schedules and interactive charger buttons
- Built-in multi-network mobile connectivity
When to Consider Another Unit
An untethered arrangement requires you to take out and connect a separate cable at both ends. If speed of daily connection matters more than an uncluttered wall, the tethered Ohme Home Pro may be more convenient.
- Choose Home Pro if a permanently attached lead is preferred
- Allow for the price of a suitable charging cable
- Match the vehicle end to a Type 1 or Type 2 car
- Plan dry, secure cable storage
- Check the socket height and parking position

One socket, a removable vehicle cable
Untethered Charging Gives You Cable Flexibility
The ePod’s wall socket accepts a compatible charging lead rather than supplying a permanently attached one. A driver with a Type 2 car normally uses a Type 2-to-Type 2 lead. A vehicle with a Type 1 inlet can use an appropriate Type 2-to-Type 1 lead, which helps when a household changes between different cars.
Removing the cable can leave a tidier-looking wall and lets you store the lead securely. The trade-off is an extra connection at each charging session, so the arrangement suits drivers who value appearance and replaceability more than the quickest possible plug-in routine.
Technical details for the current ePod
Ohme ePod Size, Socket and Connectivity
The ePod is rated at up to 7.4kW and 32A on a 230V single-phase supply. At 230mm high, 140mm wide and 100mm deep, it occupies a relatively narrow area of wall. A coloured LED strip communicates status, while three buttons and the Ohme app provide day-to-day control.
The automatic mobile connection supports smart schedules without relying on household WiFi coverage at the outside wall. Dynamic load balancing can monitor property demand through an installed current transformer and reduce the available charging current when the home is already using substantial power.
Specifications are based on published Ohme ePod information. The installer’s written quotation should identify the precise unit, protection equipment, load-balancing arrangement, connectivity terms and any separate vehicle cable supplied.

Indicative ePod installation pricing
Ohme ePod Installation Cost in Pembury
For planning purposes, a typical installed price is approximately £1,000–£1,200 for a straightforward domestic installation. The removable vehicle lead may be priced separately, so check exactly what is included rather than comparing charger-only figures.
Typical Guide Range
£1,000–£1,200The quotation should state the ePod model, standard electrical route, required protective equipment, commissioning, certification and whether a vehicle cable is supplied.
Potential Additional Work
Long supply runs, trenching, consumer-unit changes, difficult wall access, groundworks, remedial work or unusual load-management routes can raise the total cost.
Grant Considerations
Support may be available for some renters, flat owners, landlords and workplaces. Check the current eligibility routes on our EV charger grants page.
Approximate charging at the full 7.4kW rate
Estimated Ohme ePod Charging Times
A home charge normally replaces only the energy used since the last journey. The examples below show theoretical empty-to-full times by dividing usable battery capacity by 7.4kW. They are useful for comparison but should not be treated as guaranteed session lengths.
| Usable battery capacity | Approximate 0–100% time | Possible energy in four hours |
|---|---|---|
| 40kWh | About 5 hours 25 minutes | Up to 29.6kWh |
| 60kWh | About 8 hours 10 minutes | Up to 29.6kWh |
| 80kWh | About 10 hours 50 minutes | Up to 29.6kWh |
| 100kWh | About 13 hours 30 minutes | Up to 29.6kWh |
The car’s onboard AC limit, battery temperature, conversion losses, smart schedules and household load balancing can extend charging time. The cable used must also be correctly rated.
A different daily routine from Home Pro
Ohme ePod or Ohme Home Pro?
Both chargers provide up to 7.4kW, use the Ohme app and support tariff-aware scheduling. The decision is mostly about the physical connection and on-device interface. The ePod is narrower, untethered and operated through its buttons and LED status strip. The Home Pro includes an attached Type 2 lead, an LCD screen and a wider body.
The ePod is attractive when you want a removable cable, need to select a lead for a Type 1 vehicle or prefer a discreet socket on the wall. The Home Pro suits drivers who want to lift a fixed cable from its holder and plug in with fewer steps. The best option depends on where the car parks and how often it is charged.
Local survey and electrical design
Preparing a Pembury Property for an ePod
A suitable position needs to work with the car’s inlet, the removable cable length and the electrical route. The socket should not encourage a lead to cross the pavement or a busy access route. Think about whether the car may be reversed into the space and where the disconnected cable will be kept.
The installer must assess the consumer unit, earthing, incoming fuse, existing demand and required protection. Where dynamic load balancing is used, the monitoring clamp and data cable must be positioned and commissioned correctly. Cable entry can be planned through the rear or underside of the unit depending on the wall and route.
Pembury properties vary from compact driveways near the village centre to garages and longer private parking areas off Lower Green Road, Henwood Green Road and Romford Road. Photographs and measurements help the installer understand the individual site before confirming its price.

Ohme ePod questions for Pembury installations
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Ohme ePod tethered or untethered?
The ePod is untethered. It has a Type 2 socket on the unit and requires a separate vehicle charging cable. The cable can be disconnected and stored when it is not being used.
Does an Ohme ePod include a charging cable?
A five- or eight-metre cable may be available as an optional item, but it should not be assumed to be included in every price. Ask the installer to state the connector type, length, current rating and cost of any supplied lead.
Can the ePod charge a car with a Type 1 inlet?
The charger has a Type 2 wall socket. A vehicle with a Type 1 inlet can use a correctly specified Type 2-to-Type 1 cable, while a Type 2 vehicle normally uses a Type 2-to-Type 2 cable. Compatibility should be checked for the exact vehicle.
Does the Ohme ePod need WiFi?
The ePod uses built-in multi-network mobile connectivity for smart services, so it does not normally rely on the household WiFi reaching the charger. Reception and the current data-service terms should be confirmed for the proposed installation.
Can the ePod schedule charging for an off-peak tariff?
Yes. Through the Ohme app, the user can select the vehicle, charging target and departure time and use compatible tariff information. Tariff support and supplier requirements can change, so verify the current integration before ordering.
Is the Ohme ePod suitable for solar panels?
The ePod is solar charging compatible and the Ohme app provides supported solar functionality. Results depend on the property’s generation, metering and energy setup. Give the installer details of the PV system and any home battery during the survey.
How much does Ohme ePod installation cost in Pembury?
A typical planning range is approximately £1,000–£1,200 for a straightforward installation. The separate charging lead, extended electrical route, groundworks, consumer-unit changes or remedial work can alter the final total.
What is the main difference between ePod and Home Pro?
The ePod is a compact socketed charger with a removable cable and LED status strip. Home Pro is tethered, has a fixed Type 2 lead and includes an LCD screen. Their maximum power and core Ohme smart-charging functions are broadly similar.
