Easee One EV charger review

The Easee One is a charger you have fitted at home to charge an electric car, and it can use spare power from solar panels with an extra part. It charges at 7.4 kW, the usual speed for a home charger: about 25 to 30 miles of range for every hour plugged in. It works with overnight EV tariffs that only need a timer, but it is not on the Octopus, E.ON Next or OVO smart tariff lists.

Is the Easee One right for you?

The questions most people start with, answered from Easee's own documents.

How fast does it charge?

7.4 kW

About 25 to 30 miles of range for every hour plugged in, and about 10 to 11 hours for a full charge for most cars. There is no 22 kW version.

  • 7.4 kW single-phase

Is the Easee One tethered or untethered?

Untethered

It has a socket, so you will need your own charging cable (Type 2, the usual kind). Installers call a fixed cable "tethered" and a socket "untethered".

  • Socket for your own cable

Is the Easee One compatible with Intelligent Octopus Go?

Not listed

Octopus does not list it as a charger, so Intelligent Octopus Go would need a car Octopus supports instead. E.ON Next and OVO do not list it either. It works with any overnight tariff that only needs a timer, such as EDF GoElectric.

  • OctopusNot listed
  • E.ON NextNot listed
  • OVONot listed

Can it charge from solar panels?

With an extra part

It can use spare solar power, but only with an extra part that is sold separately.

Does it work with all electric cars?

Type 2

It uses the Type 2 connector, which most electric cars sold in the UK use. Check the charging socket on your car, or ask your installer.

Does the Easee One support V2H or V2G?

No

Easee does not publish vehicle-to-home (V2H) or vehicle-to-grid (V2G) support for it, so it charges the car only. Chargers with vehicle-to-grid hardware.

Can it stay connected without Wi-Fi?

Yes

It has mobile data built in (or as an option), so it can stay connected even if your Wi-Fi does not reach the driveway.

  • Wi-Fi
  • Network cable
  • Mobile data (4G)

Does the Easee One need an earth rod?

Usually not

It has a built-in safety feature (Easee calls it PEN fault protection) that usually means no earth rod is needed. Your installer checks all of this first.

How long is the warranty?

3 years

3 years, UK.

Easee One features explained

Every feature, from Easee's datasheet, manual and product pages.

What is the Easee One?

The Easee One is a single-phase home charger from Easee, a Norwegian company based in Stavanger. Easee says it developed the One specifically for the UK domestic market, and sells it in the UK, Ireland, Norway and France. It has a Type 2 socket, a built-in mobile data connection and integrated protection that Easee says removes the need for an earth rod.

Charging power: 7.4 kW single-phase, no 22 kW version

The Easee One charges on a single-phase supply from 1.4 kW (6 A) to 7.4 kW (32 A), adjusting the power dynamically. There is no three-phase Easee One; Easee sells other models for three-phase homes. The rate your car charges at is also limited by its own onboard charger.

Untethered: a Type 2 socket

The One has a Type 2 socket, so you use your own cable. Easee says the cable can be permanently locked into the socket from the Easee app, which lets you use it as a tethered charger and switch back.

Solar charging with an add-on sensor

Easee's UK product sheet lists solar charging support, but marks it, along with automatic phase balancing and automatic adjustment to the available current, as requiring the Easee Equalizer. The Equalizer is a separate accessory.

Smart charging with Octopus, E.ON Next and OVO

Easee says its app offers smart charging with a range of energy tariffs in the UK and Ireland, charging the car when energy is cheapest, and notes that some solutions may incur costs from third-party integrators.

On the energy suppliers' own lists (checked 4 October 2026), Easee is not listed by Octopus for Intelligent Octopus Go, by OVO for Charge Anytime, or by E.ON Next for Next Drive Smart. Octopus and OVO can also connect through compatible cars rather than the charger.

Load balancing, earthing and installation

Up to three Easee units can share one fuse using a built-in wireless link, with automatic queuing and load balancing between them that Easee says works offline. Automatic adjustment of the charging speed to the current available from your supply needs the Easee Equalizer. The One has an integrated RCD (30 mA AC and 6 mA DC) and integrated open PEN conductor protection to BS 7671:2018/A1:2020; Easee says this means no earth rod is needed. It also lists temperature monitoring, overload protection and an RCD that self-tests between charging sessions.

App, Wi-Fi and connectivity

The Easee One has a built-in eSIM (LTE Cat M1) and can also connect over Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz). It supports OCPP 1.6 and has an open API. An RFID and NFC reader (ISO 14443, MIFARE Classic) handles access control. Control is through the Easee app, Bluetooth or the local Wi-Fi interface, and Easee says software updates are installed automatically.

Size and dimensions: 256 x 193 x 106 mm

The One measures 256 x 193 x 106 mm (height x width x depth) and weighs 1.5 kg. It is rated IP54 (the backplate is IP22 without its cover) and IK10, and operates from -30°C to +40°C. The front cover comes in five colours: white, black, anthracite, dark blue and red. Easee lists compliance with the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021.

Warranty: 3 years

Easee's product sheet lists a 3-year manufacturer guarantee in the UK.

  2. Find a local installer

    Browse EV charger installers in 50 UK cities, each with its published Google rating, and ask for the Easee One by name.

  3. They fit it and set it up

    The installer checks your fuse box and earthing, fits the charger on its own circuit, tells your local network operator and connects it to the app.

Easee One FAQs

How long does the Easee One take to charge a car?
At 7.4 kW it adds about 25 to 30 miles of range an hour. A typical top-up of about 162 miles takes about 5h 21m, so it fits in a night. A full charge from empty takes about 10 to 11 hours for most cars. Your car's battery size changes this.
Do I need solar panels to use it?
No. It charges like any home charger without them. Using spare solar power is an extra for homes that have panels.
Is there a grant for a home EV charger?
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. Check on GOV.UK (checked 4 October 2026). Homeowners in houses are not eligible.
Who can install the Easee One?
A qualified electrician who installs EV chargers. They check your fuse box and earthing, fit it on its own circuit, tell your local network operator, and set it up in the app. Our directory lists EV charger installers in 50 UK cities with their Google ratings.
Is the Easee One tethered or untethered?
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.
Can the Easee One charge from solar?
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.
Does the Easee One need an earth rod?
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.
Does the Easee One work with Intelligent Octopus Go?
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.
How much does the Easee One cost?
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.
