Tesla Wall Connector vs Ohme Home Pro: Which Should You Buy?

Two Great Chargers, Different Strengths

The Tesla Wall Connector and Ohme Home Pro are the two most popular home chargers among Tesla owners in the UK, and for good reason — they're both excellent. But they serve different needs, and the right choice depends on what matters most to you.

In a nutshell:

• Tesla Wall Connector: Best integration with your Tesla, competitive pricing, longest warranty
• Ohme Home Pro: Best for smart tariff users, saves the most money on electricity bills

Price Comparison

The Tesla charger is £60 cheaper upfront. But the Ohme can save you money on electricity every single charge — so which wins overall?

Smart Tariff Savings: Where the Ohme Shines

This is the Ohme's killer feature. It connects directly to your energy provider and automatically charges your car at the cheapest rates — without you doing anything.

If you're on Octopus Intelligent Go, the Ohme:

• Automatically schedules charging during the ~7p/kWh off-peak window
• Can unlock bonus off-peak slots throughout the day
• Shows you exactly what each charge cost in the app

The Tesla Wall Connector can also charge during off-peak hours, but you need to set the schedule manually in the Tesla app, or use Octopus Intelligent Go's direct Tesla integration (which doesn't require the Ohme charger at all).

The catch: If you're already on Octopus Intelligent Go, the Tesla app handles off-peak scheduling natively. The Ohme's smart tariff advantage is most valuable if you're on other smart tariffs like Octopus Go, OVO, or British Gas.

App Experience

Tesla Wall Connector uses the Tesla app you already have. Charging status, history, schedules — everything lives alongside your car's controls. It's seamless.

Ohme Home Pro has its own dedicated app. It's well-designed and offers detailed cost breakdowns per session, but it does mean using a separate app from your car's controls.

For most Tesla owners, having everything in one app (Tesla's) is more convenient.

Build Quality and Design

Tesla Wall Connector: Sleek, minimalist white design that matches Tesla's aesthetic. 7.3m cable is the longest on this list — generous enough for most driveway setups.

Ohme Home Pro: Compact and modern, with a slightly shorter 5m cable (8m version available at extra cost). IP65 rated, making it slightly more weatherproof than the Tesla unit.

Warranty

• Tesla Wall Connector: 4 years
• Ohme Home Pro: 3 years

Tesla wins here with an extra year of coverage.

So Which Should You Buy?

Buy the Tesla Wall Connector if:

• You want the simplest, most integrated experience with your Tesla
• You're already on Octopus Intelligent Go (which handles scheduling natively)
• You want a competitive upfront cost with the best Tesla integration
• You prefer having everything in one app

Buy the Ohme Home Pro if:

• You're on a smart tariff other than Octopus Intelligent Go (or plan to switch to one)
• You want fully automated cheapest-rate charging without manual scheduling
• You have solar panels and want built-in solar diverting
• You want detailed per-session cost tracking

Our recommendation: For most Tesla owners, the Tesla Wall Connector offers the best overall value — it's cheaper, has a longer warranty, and the Tesla app integration is hard to beat. But if you're on a smart tariff and want to squeeze every penny out of off-peak rates, the Ohme Home Pro is worth the premium.
