Smart-charging company Ohme is the new official charging partner for Kearys Motor Group in Ireland, writes Brian Byrne. The agreement will see Kearys recommend Ohme EV chargers for all of its new and used electrified vehicle sales.  Based in Cork and London, Ohme was one of Ireland’s fastest growing smart-charging companies in 2022 and Kearys Motor Group is Ireland’s largest family-owned motor group, with franchises for BMW, Hyundai, Nissan, Renault and Mini across 12 dealerships and employing 450 people throughout Ireland. Kearys also own Carstore, Ireland’s largest used car supermarket with superstores in Dublin, Cork and Limerick as well as a strong online presence. Ohme’s smart chargers can connect with the national grid in real time and automatically adjust their charging for drivers to take advantage of off-peak tariffs. They also offer the option to charge their car when renewable energy generation on the national grid is at its highest, further lowering their CO2 impact. Ohme w

Growing free tobacco plants from seeds is arguably the easiest propagation you will ever experience. So viable and wanting to germinate are the seeds that you can literally shake a seed head over a damp bag of compost and they will grow – 100% guaranteed!
