Currys has named smart electric vehicle (EV) charger manufacturer Ohme as its new EV charger partner.
The partnership, which marks a first for the electricals specialist, will enable it to sell EV chargers direct to shoppers, with products available online and across 50 of its flagship stores.
Currys senior buyer Zoe Lucid said: “With EV sales in the UK up more than 10% this year, this new partnership between Currys and Ohme chargers was a natural step to offer to our customers.
“Ohme’s award-winning chargers and reputation for excellent customer service meant it was the obvious choice for Currys’ customers helping them to make more sustainable choices combined with cutting-edge technology.”
The move comes after the retailer named Microsoft as its first UK retail repair partner in May, allowing customers with Microsoft Surface laptops to be able to get them repaired in-store.
Earlier this year, it also teamed up with Accenture and Microsoft to deliver its core cloud technology infrastructure to allow it to leverage the latest AI technologies.
