The compact, flexible all-rounder.
Easee One
The Easee One is one of the most compact chargers you can fit, which makes it a favourite where space is tight or the install needs to look discreet. It is untethered and clever about power: built-in load balancing means it can share your home supply with a second unit or back off when the house is drawing a lot, so you avoid tripping the main fuse.

Who the Easee suits
Homes where wall space, cable lengths or parking spots vary, and households that may add a second charger and want them to share the supply sensibly.
In short: Pick Easee if you want the smallest possible unit, or you may run two cars and need them to share the supply.
The Easee One is the compact all-rounder: one of the smallest chargers you can fit, with a built-in 4G eSIM so it stays online without home Wi-Fi, and clever load balancing that lets up to three units share a single fuse. Buy it if wall space is tight, if you may add a second charger for a two-car household, or if you want a discreet unit that manages a tighter home supply. Its 2023 run-in with the Swedish regulator concerned documentation on earlier models and was discontinued in October 2025; the Easee One sold here is OZEV-approved and UK-compliant. Look elsewhere if you want a fixed tethered cable or if solar surplus charging is your main goal, where a Zappi leads. For a small, flexible, well-connected charger, it is an easy shortlist pick.
What stands out
The strengths that tend to matter when people choose the Easee.
Genuinely tiny
One of the smallest units on the market, easy to place discreetly or where a bulkier charger would not sit well.
Smart load balancing
Adjusts the car's draw to what the house can spare, and can share a supply across multiple units, useful for two-EV households.
Flexible cabling
Being untethered, you choose the cable length and can change it later if your parking or layout changes.

Smart features & tariffs
Scheduling and off-peak charging are handled in the Easee app, so it sits comfortably on a standard EV tariff. Its calling card is power management rather than deep dynamic-tariff optimisation.
EV tariffs in NI explainedSolar charging
Easee focuses on load management more than solar surplus diversion. There are energy-aware features, but if charging from your own panels is the main aim, a Zappi remains the more direct route.
Compare with the ZappiTethered or untethered?
Untethered, and remarkably small (about the size of a paperback). You bring your own cable, which keeps the wall tidy and lets you swap lead lengths as needed.
Electrically it makes no difference: it's a 7kW charge either way. Tethered is grab-and-go convenient; untethered keeps the wall tidy and your cable flexible. If you're unsure, note it on your quote and the installer will advise for your driveway.
Things to weigh up
No charger is right for everyone. The points below aren't dealbreakers, just the trade-offs to factor in.
- Untethered only, so you will need to buy and plug in a cable each time (some people prefer that, some do not).
- Strengths are size and load balancing; if you want native solar surplus charging, look elsewhere.
Whichever charger you choose, the install must be notified to NIE Networks, which is a legal requirement in NI. Our registered installers handle that paperwork as standard. See the full cost breakdown, check your grant, or see how comparing 3 quotes works.
Easee One review
Our neutral assessment, drawn from the manufacturer's specifications and widely-reported owner experience. We do not sell or fit hardware, so this is a buyer's-eye view, not a sales pitch.
Design and size
Size is the Easee One's headline. At 256 x 193 x 106mm and around 1.5kg it is roughly the size of a paperback and one of the smallest chargers you can fit, so it disappears on a wall where a bulkier unit like a Zappi would dominate. It is untethered, a Type 2 socket rather than a fixed cable, so you bring your own lead (most EVs come with one), which keeps the wall tidy and lets you swap lead lengths later. It is rated IP54 with its cover fitted and carries an IK10 impact rating. There is no screen, so all control is through the app and a status light.
The app, eSIM and load balancing
The Easee One's real strength is power management. It has a built-in 4G eSIM with lifetime data included, so it stays online without your home Wi-Fi, which is genuinely useful for a detached garage. Its stand-out feature is load balancing: up to three units can share a single fuse and balance the draw between them, and the charger backs off when the house is pulling a lot, so a two-EV household can add a second unit without upgrading the supply. Scheduling and off-peak charging are handled in the Easee app, which is competent, though its focus is power management rather than the deep dynamic-tariff optimisation an Ohme is built for.
The 2023 Swedish safety ruling, in context
It is worth addressing honestly. In 2023 two earlier Easee models, the Easee Home and Easee Charge, were the subject of a ruling by Sweden's Electrical Safety Authority (Elsäkerhetsverket). The regulator's concern was that the units' earth-leakage protection is handled electronically, in software, rather than by a traditional electromechanical device, and that this was not fully described in Easee's documentation. It imposed a sales ban on those two models in Sweden, and the Netherlands briefly followed. Easee's position was that the protection worked as intended; it updated its documentation and firmware and brought out revised models. UK sales were not halted, the newer Easee One (the model here) is OZEV-approved and built to meet UK regulations, and in October 2025 the Swedish authority discontinued its proceedings. The episode is worth knowing as history, but it concerned documentation and an earlier design, not a fault found in the Easee One on a UK driveway.
Who should skip it
Skip the Easee One if you want a tethered charger with a fixed cable (it is socket-only, so a Tesla Wall Connector or a tethered Rolec suits better), or if native solar surplus charging is the priority, where a Zappi is the more direct tool. If you want the smallest possible unit, want to run two cars on one supply, or value a charger that stays online without home Wi-Fi, it is one of the strongest compact options on the market.
