Easee was founded in January 2018. The
company’s founder-team has a background
in development, production and sale of
products in several dierent industries.
Their core competence is the development
of super-compact power electronics,
industrial design and production. The team
also has several years of experience in the
charging industry, where they have played
a central role in the development of one
of the foremost charging solutions in the
world today.
Early on we saw the need to develop a
charger for the domestic market and
we couldn’t just sit by and watch this
opportunity leave us.
It had to be small, powerful and sexy. The
solution also had to become part of the
future electrical grid. The product should
not only provide you with a wonderful
experience, it should also promote the
huge electric car growth we see today,
without overloading the power grid.
We’ve been through our entire emotional
registry to give you the best customer
experience, and we’ve really put our soul
into the development of the product. This
is something we will continue doing for as
long as you remain our customer!
We really hope that you will appreciate
your new charging robot.

A smart energy valve for your
house and the power grid
We decided to develop a charger that could also be a smart energy device
for the home.
Therefore we chose to build the product from scratch and put together
technology in a new and revolutionary way. We did this to give you a super-
smart charger, but also to save space, costs - and last but not least the
environment.
The result was a charger that not only replaces the outlet, but also gives
you more power, smarter control and a higher level of security.
All chargers have integrated 4G. You can have up to 3 chargers per circuit -
yet it’s super simple for the electrician to install.
The products are also designed to be the DNA of the future electrical grid
where they can fully autonomously distribute the energy available at any
given time in the network.
It is 70% smaller and lighter than similar solutions, it weighs only 1.5kg
and thus saves the environment at least 4kg of copper and plastic per
manufactured charger.
Our products are developed and manufactured in Norway.

Planning of installation
In advance of starting the installation, it is important that you consider the
present and future charging needs. First and foremost, the Easee Charging
Robot is a product to be installed by an authorized electrician, and a
declaration of conformity must always be provided upon completion by
your installer.
Things you should know before you begin the installation
• What is the power rating of the main protective device or fuse.
• How much power can be set aside for charging electric car.
• Which type of electric connection supplies the house.
• Can you use existing infrastructure or you need to add new cable.
• Calculate the cable length from the fuse box to the charger robot.
• Assess the need for the number of charging points now and in the
future.
Select protection device and cable type
It is recommended that an external ground fault protection device is
installed in accordance with local wiring regulations to protect the supply
cable.
See examples of cable types in the table on page 13.
IMPORTANT!
Protection device and cable selection must be recommended and approved by an authorized
electrician in accordance with local wiring regulations.

11
Our recommendations
• Select a 3 phase cable in situations where it is possible.
• Consider the need for an additional backplates if the customer plans to
acquire more electric vehicles in the future.
• Prepare for dynamic load balancing with the house/building.
• Always plan for maximum capacity to the charging system.
If these points are followed, this will give the customer a more future proof
solution with great exibility and freedom.
Parallel connection
For installation of several charging robots, we recommend having the cable entry
as shown in the gure below. For only one charging robot, use the center hole in
the top for a symmetrical and neat installation. It is also possible to have cable
entry from the back so that the cable is completely hidden.

Your house, power grid
and electric vehicle
The charging robot will never be the bottleneck. It automatically adapts
to the power grid, the electric car and the capacity of your house. In the
diagrams below you can see what charging eect you can achieve in your
installation and situation.

Hvordan lader jeg?
Connect the charging cable to the charging robot and your electric
car. Charging will start automatically.
If the car does not start charging, check that charging is activated in your
car and that the connectors are properly plugged in. If charging still does
not start, check what it might be under troubleshooting on page 30.
The charger will automatically adapt to the electric car, the power
grid and your fuse rating.

Smart charging
Through your new charging robot it is possible to postpone the charging of
the electric car to times of the day, where it will be cheaper to charge.
Smart charging will also help to release electrical capacity in the house at
times when power is often needed for other things than charging, such as
cooking and water heating.
This is how it works
Electricity prices vary 24 hours a day, and sometimes there is a loss of
electricity in the market or an overload of the electricity grid.
By planning and steering when your electric car is being charged, your
electricity supplier can trade your electricity in a smarter way. This gives
you the opportunity of a lower price on electricity when smart charging,
depending on which deal you have with your power supplier.

Touch button
With the touch button it’s possible to override smart charging in those
situations where you need fast charging immediately, if you have smart
charging enabled.
Hold your nger on the indicator ball on the front cover for 2 seconds. The
charging robot will then cancel the smart charging mode and start charging -
the light will then go from blue to white. To reactivate smart charging, hold the
touch button for 2 seconds again.
Light strip
The LED strip communicates the status of the charger at all times. Read more
about this on page 19 - Charging robot interface.
RFID area
The integrated RFID reader enables access control of the charger and
identication of dierent users. You can use this to lock and unlock the
charger using RFID tags you have added.
Charging socket
The Type2 charging socket is completely universal and allows you to charge
any type of electric vehicle using the appropriate charging cable (Type 1 or
Type 2). This makes it is possible to change cars without having to redo the
installation and your charger.
Furthermore, it is possible to permanently lock the cable, so you don’t have to
worry about it being stolen.

To be able to control your charging robot, you must use a smartphone and
connect it to the charger’s Wi-Fi network. The name of the Wi-Fi network
begins with ”Easee ...” and is activated by holding the touch button until the
light strip turns green and you hear a conrmation tone.
After connecting, open the browser and type ”192.168.4.1” into the URL.
Then your 4-digit PIN code must be entered.
You can nd the PIN code on the front of the chargeberry or on
the back of this booklet. (If the electrician has glued it in)
