Easee One 7.4kW untethered smart EV charger for UK homes

The Easee One 7.4kW is a leading untethered smart EV charger for domestic UK use, designed in Norway and trusted by homeowners across Europe. It’s built to deliver 7.4kW single-phase charging (ideal for typical UK home electrical supplies), while keeping the unit compact, discreet, and practical for everyday living.

Where many home chargers focus on just “plug in and charge”, Easee One is designed around how people actually use EV charging in the UK: charging overnight, tracking usage, and adapting to changing energy prices. With Wi-Fi and 4G connectivity built in, it’s intended to stay connected so you can monitor and manage charging through the Easee app, including scheduling sessions to run at the times that best suit your household routine.

Because it’s an untethered unit, the charger has a universal Type 2 socket rather than a fixed cable. That gives you flexibility over cable length and storage, which is particularly useful for homes where the charging position changes (for example, shared driveways, different parking orientations, or more than one EV in the household). It also helps keep the installation visually neat when you’re not charging.

Why the Easee One suits day-to-day home charging

For most UK homeowners, the best charger is the one that fits into life without fuss. The Easee One is designed to be a “set it up once, then let it run” type of product: you can configure charging behaviour in the app, then rely on the charger to follow that schedule in the background. This is especially relevant if you charge mainly overnight or want your vehicle ready at a consistent time each day.

Easee One is also a strong match for households comparing tethered vs untethered. With an untethered charger, you’re not committed to a fixed 5m or 7.5m lead on the wall. Instead, you choose a separate cable that suits your parking layout. In practice, that can make the difference between a tidy install and a cable that’s always a bit too long (or frustratingly short). If you’re purchasing “charger only”, remember you’ll need a separate cable — see our Type 2 leads.

Design matters too, particularly for front-of-house installs. Easee One has a compact footprint that helps it sit neatly on external walls, garages, or outbuildings without dominating the space. For properties where appearance is a priority, Easee also offers swappable front covers in different colours (black, white, anthracite, red and blue), so the charger can blend in or stand out depending on your preference.

Smart tariff scheduling and what “smart” actually means for UK buyers

A lot of chargers are described as “smart”, but the practical benefit for UK households usually comes down to timing: charging when electricity is cheaper. The Easee One is described as working seamlessly with Octopus Intelligent Go and other off-peak tariffs (vehicle dependant). In simple terms, that means you can use the app to schedule charging sessions to run during your cheapest windows, rather than charging as soon as you plug in.

Alongside scheduling, the Easee app is used for monitoring, which is important for homeowners trying to understand running costs and consumption. Seeing your charge history and usage in one place makes it easier to build good habits — for example, topping up little and often during off-peak periods, or planning longer charging sessions ahead of weekend travel.

Some households use figures like “off-peak vs peak” to estimate potential savings. One example often used is: charging 200 kWh/month at 7.5p/kWh off-peak instead of 29p/kWh peak, which is presented as around £43/month saved (roughly £520/year). As stated, actual savings depend on usage and tariff — but the key takeaway is that scheduling can materially change what EV charging costs over time, especially for higher-mileage drivers.

Solar compatibility and the wider home energy system

If you already have solar panels (or you’re planning a solar install), Easee One is positioned as a future-ready option because it can be paired with the Easee Equalizer accessory. In practice, this is about improving how your home shares power between your property and your EV charging.

With the Equalizer, Easee describes the setup as enabling dynamic load balancing and solar prioritisation, allowing your EV to charge from surplus renewable energy before drawing from the grid. For UK homes, that matters because solar generation changes constantly across the day, and a system that can prioritise surplus helps increase self-consumption. The value isn’t just “having solar”; it’s using more of what you generate on-site, rather than exporting it and buying grid energy later.

It’s also worth noting that “solar-ready” in the real world is about having the right building blocks in place. Easee One provides the charger and smart control platform, while the Equalizer is the accessory described for the load balancing and solar prioritisation behaviour. This keeps the base charger purchase straightforward while still giving you an upgrade path if your home energy setup evolves over time.

Built-in safety and UK smart charging compliance

Home EV charging is high power, outdoors, and used daily — so safety and compliance aren’t optional extras. Easee One is described as being certified for UK regulations and compliant with UK Smart Charging Regulations, and it includes key protective functions inside the unit rather than relying on additional external components.

Specifically, Easee One is described as including a Type B RCD (30 mA AC + 6 mA DC leakage detection) and PEN fault detection as standard. For installers, built-in protection can simplify decision-making during system design and reduce the need for extra hardware. For homeowners, the value is confidence: the charger is designed to provide the required protections as part of the product, supporting a compliant installation for UK homes.

The unit is also described as having an IP54 weather rating and IK10 impact resistance, which helps explain why it’s commonly used for external UK installs. In practical terms, IP54 indicates protection against dust and splashing water, and IK10 indicates strong resistance to impacts — both relevant for chargers mounted on driveways, car ports, or accessible walls where knocks, rain, and winter conditions are normal.

Easee One design choices that matter for installers and property owners

Beyond charging power and smart features, the Easee One’s design is often a deciding factor. The compact footprint is described as 256 × 193 × 106 mm, making it one of the smallest smart chargers on the market. This can be a real advantage on narrow side passages, small garage walls, or properties where you want to keep the installation visually tidy.

Easee also supports different mounting approaches, including wall mounting and pedestal installs via the Easee Base. That matters in the UK because not every property has an ideal wall position near the parking bay. Having an established pedestal option helps solve common “real driveway” challenges without resorting to improvised mounting solutions.

Finally, the untethered socket approach keeps the charger future-friendly for households that may change vehicles. Type 2 is the standard for most modern EVs, and being able to select the cable length and type you prefer can make the charger easier to live with — now and when your next car arrives.

Easee One specification highlights explained for real-world use

On paper, the Easee One’s key technical details are straightforward — but what matters is how they translate into day-to-day charging. The charger provides 7.4 kW output at 32A on a single-phase supply, which aligns with the typical electrical capacity found in UK domestic properties. For many homeowners, that means dependable overnight charging without needing three-phase power.

Connectivity is another practical headline: the unit includes Wi-Fi + 4G eSIM, with five years free service included from Easee. In real terms, this aims to reduce the risk of a “smart charger that isn’t smart” because Wi-Fi doesn’t reliably reach the driveway. Having both connection methods built in supports ongoing app access for scheduling, monitoring, and usage history.

The unit’s durability ratings also have clear relevance for UK installs. An IP54 rating supports outdoor placement in typical British weather conditions, while IK10 impact resistance adds reassurance where chargers are mounted in exposed areas or on shared access routes. Combined with the compact physical size, these choices help explain why the Easee One is commonly selected for neat, long-term external installations.

Multi-charger and load balancing context for homes with more than one EV

If your household has (or is moving towards) more than one EV, charging strategy becomes as important as charger choice. The Easee One is described as supporting load balancing when paired with the Easee Equalizer, and it also references the ability to connect up to three chargers together on the same supply via that load balancing setup.

Practically, load balancing is about ensuring the property doesn’t overload its available electrical capacity when more than one charger is in use. Rather than asking an installer to “oversize everything” from day one, load balancing is a way to share available power intelligently. For UK homes — where consumer units, main fuses, and overall supply capacity vary — this can be an important part of future planning.

If you’re considering a second charger later, it’s worth thinking about how you want the home to behave: for example, two vehicles charging at different times, or both charging together but sharing power dynamically. The Easee ecosystem is positioned to support that kind of planning, provided the system is specified using the stated accessory and configuration.

Easee One vs Ohme Home Pro: choosing untethered versus tethered

If you’re comparing the Easee One with another popular home charger such as the Ohme Home Pro, a lot of the decision comes down to cable preference and how you want the charger to look when it’s not in use.

• Design approach: Easee One is described as compact with a discreet footprint, while Ohme Home Pro is described as a tethered charger with an LCD display.
• Cable setup: Easee One uses an untethered Type 2 socket (you choose your cable length), whereas Ohme Home Pro includes a fixed 5 m Type 2 cable.
• Best-fit scenarios: Easee One is positioned for multi-EV homes, future vehicle changes, and a neater look; Ohme Home Pro is positioned for single-EV households wanting a simple plug-and-go experience.
• Protection approach (as described): Easee One includes integrated Type B RCD + PEN fault detection, while Ohme Home Pro is described as Type A RCD + 6 mA DC + PEN fault detection.

There isn’t a “right” answer — it’s about matching the product to your driveway, your habits, and your preference for a fixed cable versus a socket-based setup. If you want a tidy wall when the charger isn’t in use and you like the ability to change cable length, untethered tends to suit. If you want the simplest routine (always the same cable, always ready), tethered may fit better.

Delivery, collection, and installation options through LAMPS

Buying the Easee One through LAMPS is designed to be straightforward, whether you’re purchasing the charger only or arranging a full supply-and-fit. Stock-led fulfilment is referenced with next-day dispatch expectations for orders placed before 3pm (subject to stock), and there are local options too, including collection from LAMPS trade counters and two-hour courier availability in selected London postcodes via LAMPS IN 2.

If you want a supplied-and-installed package, professional fitting is described as being handled by trusted partner Evie Energy, using qualified UK installers. The standard installation content referenced includes wall mounting, up to 5 m of cabling, testing, commissioning, a handover certificate, app setup, and guidance on smart tariffs. Where a property needs additional works — such as longer cable routes, groundworks, pedestals, outbuilding installs, or consumer unit upgrades — these are described as being quoted clearly before the job begins.

For many homeowners, this clarity is as valuable as the charger itself: you know what the baseline includes, what might trigger extras, and you can make an informed decision before committing to the final install plan.
