About this listen

David Watson, founder and CEO of Ohme, shares his journey from environmental enthusiast to renewable energy investor and entrepreneur. Speaking to Jeff and Daniel from Solar Choice, Watson offers deep insights into the energy market, the rise of electric vehicle (EV) adoption, and the transformative role of smart tariffs in Australia and abroad.

With Australia's energy market at a turning point, Watson explains why the country is uniquely positioned to lead the next phase of EV innovation.

David Watson is the founder and CEO of Ohme, a smart EV charging company transforming how drivers interact with the energy grid. Originally from Ireland, he began in finance before pivoting to renewables after reconnecting with UK climate leader Sir David King. He helped fund solar and wind projects through Temporis Capital before launching Ohme to make EVs part of the energy solution.

Watson pioneered smart charging through partnerships with Octopus Energy, allowing EV owners to charge when power is cheapest and cleanest—automatically. Now expanding globally, he sees Australia as the ideal next market, with its high rooftop solar uptake, dynamic tariffs, and off-street parking.

His mission: to align purpose, innovation, and user-friendly tech in shaping the future of clean transport and energy.
