Easee One

The Easee One is the lightest EV charger on the market at just 1.5 kg, and at £405 it is also the cheapest unit on this list. It is designed with expansion in mind -- you can connect up to 3 Easee chargers on a single fuse, with power distributed automatically and dynamically between vehicles as they charge. This makes it an excellent option for households with multiple EVs or shared parking arrangements. The built-in eSIM with lifetime 4G connectivity means it works reliably even if your home Wi-Fi does not reach the driveway or garage, with no ongoing subscription costs for the cellular connection. The Norwegian-designed charger is untethered (you use your own Type 2 cable), which some owners prefer as it keeps the wall mount clean and tidy when not in use. The integrated RCD Type-B and open PEN protection mean fewer additional components are needed at the consumer unit, which can reduce installation cost. Note that the Easee One is single-phase only (7.4kW max) -- it does not support three-phase charging despite its European heritage.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers who want the cheapest quality charger, lifetime 4G connectivity, and the simplest possible installation.

Installation

At just 1.5 kg, the Easee One is by far the lightest charger in this guide -- the next lightest is the EO Mini Pro 3 at 2.5 kg. Its dimensions of 256mm x 193mm x 106mm are compact, and the combination of low weight and small size makes it one of the easiest chargers for installers to work with. The key installation advantage is the integrated RCD Type-B protection and open PEN fault detection built into the unit itself. With many other chargers, your installer needs to add these components at the consumer unit, which typically adds £100--200 to the installation cost. The Easee eliminates this entirely. The untethered design means there is no permanent cable attached to the wall -- you plug in your own Type 2 cable each time you charge (Tesla supplies one with every vehicle). Some owners find this neater; others miss the convenience of a permanently attached cable. The charger is IP54 rated, suitable for sheltered outdoor positions.

Tariff Compatibility

The Easee One supports scheduled charging through the Easee app, allowing you to set specific charging windows to match your off-peak tariff hours. It works with fixed-window tariffs like Octopus Go (00:30--04:30 off-peak) and EDF GoElectric -- you set the schedule once and the charger draws power only during those hours. However, the Easee does not have direct API integration with any UK energy provider. It cannot communicate with Octopus to request extended off-peak slots on Intelligent Go, and it cannot dynamically optimise for half-hourly pricing on Agile Octopus. For simple two-rate tariffs, this is not a limitation. For variable or dynamic tariffs, the Ohme Home Pro is the better choice. The Easee's built-in 4G connectivity ensures reliable schedule execution even if your Wi-Fi drops out, which gives it an edge over Wi-Fi-only chargers in rural or poorly connected locations.

Price Breakdown

The Easee One is the cheapest charger on this list at £405, and the integrated RCD and PEN protection can save a further £100--200 on installation costs compared to chargers that require these to be added at the consumer unit. This means the true installed cost could be as low as £700--800 for a straightforward installation -- comfortably the cheapest total on this list. If you are eligible for the OZEV grant, the installed cost drops further. For a deeper look at the most affordable options, see our guide to the cheapest EV chargers in the UK.

How It Compares

The Easee One competes primarily on value. For a head-to-head with a similarly priced compact charger, see our Wallbox Pulsar Max vs Easee One comparison -- the Wallbox costs £294 more but offers a tethered cable and three-phase support. If you are deciding between the two cheapest chargers on the market, the Easee at £405 undercuts the Tesla Wall Connector at £475, though the Tesla offers a tethered cable, longer warranty, and seamless Tesla app integration. The Easee also competes with the GivEnergy EV Charger (£478) on price -- see our Easee One vs GivEnergy EV Charger comparison for the trade-off between budget value and battery storage integration. For smart tariff buyers, the Ohme Home Pro vs Easee One comparison makes clear that the Ohme's tariff automation justifies its £130 premium if you are on a variable tariff.
