Suzuki Partners with Ohme to Launch the e Vitara: A Leap into Electric Mobility

Suzuki is accelerating its journey into the world of electric vehicles by appointing Ohme as the exclusive home EV charging partner for its highly anticipated e Vitara – the brand’s very first all-electric SUV. This strategic partnership comes as Suzuki introduces the e Vitara to dealerships, making a significant move toward greener driving solutions in the global automotive market.

Ohme: Powering Suzuki’s Home Charging Network

Ohme has earned its reputation as the UK’s leading home electric vehicle (EV) charging provider and stands as one of Europe’s fastest-growing EV infrastructure companies. Through this alliance, Suzuki customers looking for a reliable home charging setup will be directly recommended Ohme’s smart chargers. These chargers, on display at Suzuki dealerships, come with seamless installation, comprehensive dealer training, and ongoing support, ensuring a smooth transition for new EV owners.

Elevating Customer Experience with Smart Charging

The partnership aims to improve the overall ownership experience by providing innovative home charging solutions. Ohme’s cutting-edge technology optimizes charging times and costs by leveraging live grid data and integrating with leading UK energy tariffs. The chargers automatically adjust to access eco-friendly, low-cost energy, and include a solar boost function to reduce dependence on the main grid, making electric motoring both affordable and sustainable.

e Vitara: Specifications & Performance

The all-new Suzuki e Vitara arrives with a choice of two battery configurations: a 49kWh option for those seeking cost-effective daily driving, and a larger 61kWh battery targeting extended range demands. With a competitive warranty of up to 10 years or 100,000 miles, including battery coverage, Suzuki reassures buyers of lasting reliability. For instance, a full charge on the 61kWh variant (offering a 264-mile WLTP range) could cost as little as £4.27 when using an Ohme smart charger on dynamic tariffs like Intelligent Octopus Go – an exceptional value for electric SUV drivers.

Advanced Features and Design

The e Vitara blends Suzuki’s legacy of rugged four-wheel-drive engineering with a modern, electric-only platform, appealing to drivers who want to combine the versatility of a 4x4 with zero-emission driving. Its contemporary styling, spacious interior, and advanced tech features make it a strong contender in the growing compact electric SUV segment.

Market Positioning & Comparison

With its robust 4x4 background, competitive range, and strong warranty, the Suzuki e Vitara positions itself as a practical and affordable alternative to other electric SUVs like the Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia Niro EV. The partnership with Ohme further strengthens its market appeal by simplifying the EV ownership journey, from showroom to daily charging at home.

Commitment to Sustainable Motoring

Beyond product innovation, Suzuki’s choice of Ohme underscores a dedication to environmental responsibility. Ohme’s technology empowers drivers to charge during times of peak renewable energy generation, reducing both costs and carbon footprint. As the official charging provider for Motability Operations and an award-winning company in the electric charging sector, Ohme adds credibility and convenience to Suzuki’s electrification strategy.

The launch of the e Vitara marks a pivotal step for Suzuki in the EV era, complemented by an industry-leading charging partnership designed to deliver value, efficiency, and sustainability for customers worldwide.
