Honda Picks Ohme as Home Charging Partner for Australia's New Super-One EV

Honda is lining up its electric offensive in Australia by naming Ohme as its exclusive home charging partner, a deal that lands just as the Japanese automaker prepares to put its new all-electric city car, the Super-One, on sale. Under the arrangement, Honda will steer buyers toward Ohme’s residential chargers while displaying the hardware at a selection of its dealerships nationwide.

Beyond the box on the wall, Ohme is expected to deliver a full home charging package that bundles the unit with installation, plus training and ongoing support for Honda’s retail network. The company has not yet published specific charger prices or installation fees tied to the Honda program.

The tie-up coincides with Honda’s push into Australia’s crowded small EV segment. The Super-One carries a starting price of $36,900 and pairs a 29.6 kWh battery with a WLTP-rated range of up to 202 km, a package aimed squarely at city driving and short daily commutes rather than long-distance touring.

Because the battery is modest in size, plugging in at home is likely to be the default for most owners. Ohme says topping the Super-One up from empty to full could cost as little as $2.37 on a time-of-use plan such as AGL's Night Saver EV tariff, which prices electricity at 8 cents per kWh between midnight and 6am. That works out to roughly $1.17 per 100 km on the car’s claimed WLTP figure, before charging losses and any other electricity charges are factored in.

Ohme’s chargers are designed to schedule charging automatically around the cheapest windows on time-of-use tariffs and can also integrate with rooftop solar, letting households lean more heavily on their own generation. Those features matter for a vehicle like the Super-One, where buyers are often first-time EV owners looking to avoid the complexity of public charging.

Ohme already has a strong foothold in Europe’s home charging market and has been building scale in Australia, where it serves as the official home charging partner for fleet manager SG Fleet and says it has signed up 200 dealer partners. For Honda, the play is about smoothing the ownership experience for newcomers to electric driving, while the affordable end of Australia’s EV market continues to fill out with new entrants.
