About Us
Meet our founder, David Watson
Prior to co-founding Ohme, David Watson co-founded Temporis Capital, a leading investor in renewable energy. The idea for Ohme came to him while he was researching clean energy projects. David saw an opportunity to adjust demand to meet supply using electric vehicles and created Ohme with the aim of making it the world’s most trusted smart charging platform.
David bought a Tesla and came up with the idea of controlling charging with a smart cable, giving customers better and more visible control. The first working prototype for the Ohme Home Charger was produced in 2018 (it’s still in David’s office today) and Octopus was the first supplier with the final production version in 2019 taking advantage of Octopus’s agile overnight tariffs for EV drivers.

Ohme's Story
From day one, we’ve always put the customer at the heart of everything we do.
We’ve built a product that not only makes EVs cheaper to run, but allows our customers, business partners and energy suppliers to work together to support the global transition to renewables.
We’re passionate about green energy but found that the “feast or famine” nature of sources like wind and solar power was a big issue.
That’s why we created Ohme, a smart charging system that nudges customers to charge at off-peak times, using the surplus energy that can't otherwise be stored on the grid, with the added benefit of saving some money.
Our Values
We’re a business full of passionate people who live and breathe our values.
Meet some of the team...
"Ohme appealed to me as I believe we have the shared goal of making the world a better place. Assisting people with the switch to electric, and knowing the impact on charging with Ohme, is super rewarding.
The people have been impressive not only in their knowledge but in their attitude to helping me get up to speed in the world of EVs.
The potential for where Ohme can go, and is going feels unlimited, now would be a great time to make your impact on where we go."

"What I love about Ohme is its can do attitude. Ohme has provided me with the platform to grow and has empowered me to bring others with me on our journey to speed up the global transition to clean energy through delivering simple, customer centric solutions.
There's a learning culture internally that's contagious. We don’t stop asking questions until we find the right answers for our partners and customers. It’s an exciting, fast paced environment where I have seen so many of my colleagues evolve.
I feel lucky to work with such an intelligent group, and I haven’t even mentioned the technology…"
"I love that I'm given the opportunity to try new things outside of my usual role and to develop new skills.
I also love that I have the support of my team in doing so. It's a really fast-paced environment but I feel like I'm growing professionally as the industry grows, and that's really exciting."
