Ohme and PayPal let drivers pay for EV charger in installments
EV owners can now pay for an Ohme home charger in instalments through a new partnership with PayPal.
The new deal allows motorists choosing an Ohme ePod or Home Pro charger to split the cost over two months through the PayPal Pay in 3 offer.
Ohme, the UK’s biggest home charging company says the partnership aims to make sure “no driver is left behind in the e-mobility transition”.
“It’s great to be able to offer buyers an additional route to buying an Ohme charger, by spreading the cost with PayPal,” said Ohme CEO David Watson.
“With petrol prices being so high, there’s never been a better time to drive an EV and PayPal’s Pay in 3 option will help more drivers to get faster access to cheaper and cleaner home charging.”
As well as splitting the cost of the charger, drivers can earn redeemable points if they sign up for PayPal+ when ordering their Ohme charger.
“Many drivers are choosing to switch to an electric vehicle, but for some the upfront cost of getting set up at home can feel like a sticking point. That’s exactly where flexible payment options can make a difference,” said Tamer El-Emary, general manager for PayPal UK.
“By partnering with Ohme, we’re helping to remove a friction point between buying an EV and actually benefiting from the budget-friendly running costs that come with home charging. We hope that offering our flexible payment options will help Ohme to continue to grow.”
