Why many choose Easee Charge Up
Compact and award-winning Nordic design
Easee Charge Up weighs only 1.5 kg and is significantly smaller than traditional EV chargers. The sleek cover is available in several colors and can easily be swapped if you want to match your home's facade.
Built-in 4G connection always included
A unique advantage of Easee is that every charger comes with a built-in 4G eSIM at no extra monthly cost. This means the charger is always connected and receives automatic software updates, even if your home WiFi doesn't reach the garage or driveway.
Built-in ground fault protection and extra RCBO
Easee Charge Up features built-in ground fault protection for both AC and DC (6 mA DC detection in accordance with current standards). As an extra safety measure, we at Smista Elinstallation always install a dedicated RCBO (personskyddsautomat) in the electrical panel for all EV charger installations. This provides your setup with complete dual protection for maximum safety.
Wireless dynamic load balancing via Easee Equalizer
In combination with Easee Equalizer, you get the market's smoothest solution for dynamic load balancing. The Equalizer easily plugs into the electricity meter's HAN/P1 port and communicates wirelessly with the charger. The system measures household consumption in real time and automatically adjusts charging so your main fuse never trips.
Smart app features and spot price control
With the Easee app, you have full control over your charging:
- Schedule charging to the cheapest hours of the day
- Lock the charging cable into the socket for theft protection
- View exact energy consumption and history per session
- Easily integrate with apps like Tibber for automatic smart charging

Our verdict: Easee Charge Up has been a reliable favorite for homeowners thanks to its smooth wireless load balancing and user-friendly app. For new installations, we now recommend its future-proof successor Easee Charge Max to comply with upcoming AFIR requirements.
