Ohme chargers, more accurately the Ohme app, is not fit for purpose. The APIs simply dont work, certainly not for VAG Group cars (Seat, Cupra, Skoda, VW, Audi), but I have also seen API problems on Ohme forums that also affect Volvo, Kia, BMW, Mini, Hyundia, Ford,MG and Renualt.

I have asked for support from Ohme regarding the continual pairing problems with the Ohme app and (in my case) my Volvo account. The response was poor.

i also noticed the preconditioning of the car drains the battery even when pugged in, my expectaion would be the preconditioning would initiate the Ohme app to ‘smartly’ charge the battery during this process. It doesnt.

it would appear that many Ohme customers use the % top up method and not the misleading smart functions on the app.

The charger was included free with the car, if not I would not have bought one ot ig i had it would have been returned by now. Really has very poor application of technology.

 

Thanks @FoxtrotAlpha, I got the Ohme charger free via another VAG (Cupra) car, the Kodiaq is only a PHEV and the lack of any onboard charger scheduler means I have to use the Ohme app, so frustrating really. May try the top up method, but not super clear how to do that
