Motorists could fully charge their electric cars for as little as £5 at home thanks to a new offer from a brand moving towards exclusively selling EVs.
Luxury South Korean brand Genesis Motor has partnered with Ohme, with customers able to install an electric vehicle charger at their homes.
When purchasing a new Genesis vehicle, drivers will benefit from a referral scheme to have a charger installed at their homes.
These chargers also make use of dynamic charging capabilities, meaning drivers can charge their vehicles for much cheaper than someone who isn’t on an EV-friendly tariff.
When combined with a dynamic EV tariff, such as Intelligent Octopus Go, drivers could spend as little as £5.88 to fully charge a new Genesis GV60.
This could fully power the GV60’s 84kWh battery and deliver a staggering 348 miles of electric range.
Motorists can also choose to charge their vehicle at times when renewable energy generation on the national grid is at its highest.
Commenting on the new partnership, Peter McDonald, Director of Ohme, praised the development as supporting more drivers to switch to electric vehicles.

OHME
He said: “We’re looking forward to bringing the Ohme benefits of easy charging and low running costs to Genesis customers.
“With Genesis refreshing its line-up of electric models this year, customers not only have an updated product range to choose from but access to all that Ohme can bring to their ownership experience.”
Ohme, which is now the brand’s exclusive home EV charging partner, also allows drivers to charge their vehicles during off-peak hours, further cutting their costs.
Genesis currently has three electric models on the market, including the GV60 (£54,115), GV70 (£65,915) and the new GV80 (£75,615).
The brand has seen impressive growth over the last 12 months, with a 6.21 per cent jump in new registrations, taking its 2025 total so far to 1,060.
Despite being one of the little-known brands in the UK, Genesis has outsold several manufacturers that are more commonly seen on UK roads, including Abarth, Bentley, DS Automobiles and Maserati.
Ashley Andrew, President and CEO of Genesis and Hyundai UK, added: “Ohme’s strong customer service ethos aligns with Genesis’ Son Nim customer-centric approach.
“As a result, we’re delighted to partner with Ohme for the benefit of our customers and our retailer network.”
Earlier this year, Genesis confirmed that it would become an electric-only brand amid plans to end the sale of all of its internal combustion engine vehicles.
The manufacturer said an all-electric future matched its intentions to be ambitious and look ahead to the future.
It announced that it would sell through the stock of petrol and diesel vehicles before focusing exclusively on electric cars.
