HOME BTR Portfolio Partnership with Ohmie GO

Australia’s Build to Rent sector is moving quickly and expectations around how these buildings perform day to day are rising just as fast. The infrastructure installed during development has to keep working once a building moves from delivery to operations. If it doesn’t, the operations team is the one who ends up dealing with the fallout.

We’ve now deployed shared electric vehicles across all of HOME’s BTR communities in Richmond, Southbank, Docklands and Parramatta. This partnership is a special one for us. We've had a relationship with the HOME team since 2022 when they launched their first building. We shared our vision, what we were building and what we wanted to deliver together. It wasn’t the right timing then, but we said we'd stay in touch. We did, and it’s great to now be rolling out a consistent resident experience across their entire BTR portfolio. Their fleet includes Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model Y, BYD Dolphin and Geely EX5, all fully integrated with the Ohmie GO backend so our team can monitor performance, respond quickly to support requests and keep everything running smoothly.

HOME were clear about what they wanted. They needed a solution that worked quietly in the background without adding admin and another thing to manage for their already busy operations and site team. With Ohmie GO, they don’t manage anything. We handle the full stack for them including maintenance, cleaning, insurance, 24/7 support, resident verification, billing, operations and ongoing system management. All they receive is a clean monthly report so they can track utilisation and plan for future expansion, whether that is more shared EVs, shared e-bikes, EV charging or e-bike charging.

A lot of solutions in the market look end-to-end and integrated on the surface, but in reality rely on multiple vendors stitched together. That might work on day one, but it usually leads to long term risk and operational headaches. We built Ohmie GO to avoid that entirely. It is a fully turnkey platform designed specifically for large residential buildings and something we’re genuinely proud of. We’ll be sharing more detail around this over the coming months, but our positioning is resonating well with premium residential and BTR developers, typically the ones who really care about the end outcomes of their residents. We’re also proud to be partnering with a company like HOME who share the same mindset and values around resident experience and long term building performance.

What made our partnership even more exciting was the integration with two different car stacker models across the portfolio. This is the first shared EV and car stacker integration in Australia. We always say the devil is in the details and that proved true here. Making the resident experience feel simple requires a lot of work behind the scenes. Adding in a car stacker flow means you’ve got to have the right team and capabilities to deliver. Kyle, our founder, often calls the result the "EV vending machine". The stackers are integrated with charging and the ability to call the car directly from the car stacker with the Ohmie GO app. It is a very clean, future proof setup that we will continue rolling out across new projects.

We're looking forward to working with HOME as their e-mobility partner to bring the best solution to your residents.

The Electric Mobility Platform for Buildings

We've worked tirelessly with developers, earning the trust of the largest players in the property industry. Today, our solutions can be found in some of the most progressive buildings in Australia. Ohmie GO has always believed in offering more than just a service; we provide an end-to-end managed e-mobility platform for building residents. Our journey began in 2018 with exclusive on-demand access to shared electric vehicles, conveniently located in building carparks. In 2022, we expanded our offerings to include sought-after shared micro-mobility solutions, such as e-bikes and e-scooters. Now, we're taking the next logical step: removing the complexity and simplifying the process for buildings to deliver and scale world-class EV charging solutions without compromising the resident experience.

Ohmie GO is the first end-to-end electric mobility platform for buildings, designed as a modular, mix-and-match solution. This flexibility allows buildings to customise their solutions to meet specific needs, eliminating the need for separate providers and multiple apps for different services. We offer all electric mobility solutions in a single hub, delivering a seamless experience for users.

‍

Introducing: Smart EV Charging

We're introducing two end-to-end managed smart EV charging solutions: "OUR Charger," a shared charger located in the building for resident use, and "MY Charger," a private charger situated in an individual resident's parking bay.

Both charging solutions include ongoing service and maintenance, charging history, payment processing, and much more. We spent time developing a resident experience that is consistent across all our e-mobility solutions, and unique to in-building charging. A building's electric mobility hub is available to residents via the Ohmie GO app. Here, they can book and access all their solutions, including charging, with the touch of a button. The only difference is that "MY Charger" appears exclusively in an individual resident's Ohmie GO app and is not visible to other residents.

Some of the key benefits include:

• ‍Smart Energy Management: Install more EV chargers that intelligently share power to avoid costly upgrades and get the best charging experience.
• ‍Billing & Payment: Easily allocate energy costs to residents for vehicle charging and provide access to usage history and data.
• ‍Designed to Scale: Deploy a solution which reduces costly building upgrades in the future and provides a seamless experience for residents.‍
• NCC Compliant: Our solutions help buildings to meet the current NCC (National Construction Code) compliance forEV charging in Australia.

We're proud to announce that both "OUR Chargers" and"MY Chargers" are operational across several buildings in our partner portfolio. We’ll be releasing individual blog articles on a few of them in the coming weeks.
