Ford is accelerating the transition to electric vehicles (EVs) in Northern Ireland with a bold new initiative: a partnership with Ohme, the island’s leading home EV charging provider. Through this collaboration, Ford drivers can now access complementary Ohme home chargers and a seamless installation experience as part of the innovative Ford Power Promise.
Switching to electric can feel daunting. A recent Ford survey of 5,000 drivers across Europe revealed that 25% of customers experience uncertainty or complexity when buying an EV, while one in eight struggle to arrange home charging. The Ford Power Promise addresses these challenges head-on, giving drivers peace of mind and a simple, cost-effective path to electrification.
A Complete, Stress-Free Charging Solution
Ohme’s dynamic home chargers are designed to make EV ownership effortless. By using live grid data, they automatically optimise charging to tap into the most affordable and green energy tariffs, while also featuring a solar boost function to reduce reliance on the grid. Installation, training, and ongoing dealer support are all included, ensuring drivers feel supported every step of the way.
Lisa Brankin, Managing Director of Ford of Britain and Ireland, highlights the initiative’s ambition: “Switching into an electric vehicle for the first time can be daunting. With Ohme, we’ve simplified and de-stressed the entire ownership experience, helping new EV buyers embrace the excitement of electrification while enjoying complete peace of mind.”
Cost-Efficient Home Charging
Ford owners charging at home during Power NI’s EV Nightshift off-peak tariff (1am–8am) can fully charge a new Puma Gen-E from 0% for just £7.53. With a WLTP range of over 259 miles, this makes EV ownership not only convenient but also highly affordable.
Added Benefits Through the Power Promise
Ford’s commitment goes beyond home charging:
- Eight-year, 100,000-mile battery and high-voltage component warranty for long-term peace of mind
- Two-year complimentary roadside assistance and towing to keep drivers protected
- Access to over 860 public charging points via Ford’s BlueOval™ Charge Network, powered by Octopus Electroverse
- Dedicated customer care ensuring a smooth transition to electric
David Watson, CEO of Ohme, emphasises the strategic value of the collaboration: “Ford’s EV range—including the Puma Gen-E, Capri, Mustang Mach-E, Explorer, and electrified commercial vehicles—can now be paired with Ireland’s best home charging solution, optimising both convenience and cost efficiency.”
Driving Northern Ireland’s EV Adoption Forward
The partnership covers Ford’s entire electric passenger and commercial vehicle line-up in Northern Ireland. From the new all-electric Explorer and Capri to the Puma Gen-E, Mustang Mach-E, and electrified commercial fleet, customers can enjoy complementary home charging, five years of free servicing, an eight-year battery warranty, and 12 months of vehicle management software with dedicated support.
This offer is valid for passenger vehicles until 30 April 2026 and for commercial vehicles until 31 March 2026, making it an ideal time for Northern Ireland drivers and businesses to embrace the shift to electric mobility.
By combining Ford’s commitment to electrification with Ohme’s cutting-edge charging technology, the Ford Power Promise delivers a complete, worry-free EV experience—simplifying ownership, cutting costs, and encouraging the uptake of electric vehicles across Northern Ireland.
