New Leapmotor Buyers in Ireland Get a Free Ohme Home Charger With an Energia Tariff

Anyone ordering a new Leapmotor in Ireland can get a smart home charger without paying for the hardware. New Leapmotor customers who sign up to an Energia EV tariff through their dealer before the end of February 2027 receive an Ohme ePod as part of the purchase, a deal announced back in October. Leapmotor lists the free home charger on its own offers page too.

What the Energia Tariff Costs

The tariff behind the offer is Energia’s EV Smart Drive, a 12-month contract with a cheap charging window from 2am to 6am. After the 10% discount that window costs 12.25 cents per kWh including VAT, so filling a 60 kWh battery comes to about €7.35 before charging losses. Daytime electricity on the same plan costs 40.16 cents per kWh, which is why I’d set the Ohme app to start charging at 2am and leave it alone. The pricier EV Smart Drive Plus plan isn’t part of Energia’s dealer offers.

What You Still Pay For

Free covers the charger itself. Energia’s other car-brand bundles show how the rest works: you pay €300 for the installation upfront and get it back through the €300 SEAI home charger grant. That price covers a standard installation only, which means you own the home or have the owner’s permission, have off-street parking, can place the charger within 15 metres of your fuse board and have a strong Wi-Fi signal. If your home misses one of those, Energia may charge extra for additional works or decide the site is unsuitable, and it doesn’t say what the extra works cost. A video survey comes first, and if it fails you may need an on-site visit for €130. Energia’s bundle page doesn’t list Leapmotor yet, so I’d ask the dealer to confirm the installation terms in writing before signing anything.

Leapmotor Models and Prices in Ireland

Leapmotor’s November price guides for the T03, B05, B10 and C10 all list the free home charger among their offers. The table shows the starting prices Leapmotor quotes, which include the €3,500 SEAI grant and the VRT rebate and exclude metallic paint and delivery charges.

Is It a Good Deal

If the Leapmotor terms match the other brands, the SEAI grant brings the net cost of the charger and installation to zero, and you get a smart charger that works with a night tariff from day one. That’s the cheapest way I know to start home charging in Ireland. The 12-month contract is the main commitment, so check what Energia charges once it ends before you commit.
