      "a": "It has a Type 2 socket, so you plug in your own cable. Easee says the cable can be permanently locked into the socket using the Easee app, so it can be used like a tethered charger."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can the Easee One charge from solar?",
      "a": "Easee's product sheet lists solar charging support, automatic phase balancing and automatic adjustment to the available current, all of which require the Easee Equalizer, a separate accessory."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does the Easee One need an earth rod?",
      "a": "Easee lists integrated open PEN conductor protection, which it says means there is no need for an earth rod. Your installer confirms the earthing arrangement for your property."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does the Easee One work with Intelligent Octopus Go?",
      "a": "Easee is not on Octopus's list of supported chargers for Intelligent Octopus Go (checked 4 October 2026). Octopus can also connect through some cars instead of the charger, so check whether your car is supported. Easee says its app offers smart charging with a range of energy tariffs in the UK and Ireland."

    {
      "q": "What warranty does the Easee One have?",
      "a": "Easee's product sheet lists a 3-year manufacturer guarantee for the UK."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which chargers are similar to the Easee One?",
      "a": "Cord Zero, EO Mini Pro 3 and Hive EV Charger (Sync Energy Wall Charger 2) share the most charger types with it (such as solar charging, cable type and smart tariff listings). They are listed by how many types they share, then A to Z; this is not a ranking. Compare any two side by side on our compare page."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does the Easee One support V2H or V2G?",
      "a": "No. Easee does not publish vehicle-to-home (V2H) or vehicle-to-grid (V2G) support for the Easee One, so it charges the car only."
    },
    {
      "q": "How much does the Easee One cost?",
      "a": "We do not list prices, because they change often and most people buy a charger fitted, so the price depends on the installer and your home. Ask two or three installers for a fitted price for the Easee One by name. If you rent, or own a flat with private off-street parking, the EV chargepoint grant can cover 75% of the cost of buying and installing a chargepoint, up to £500."
