No action required for Easee Home and Charge

On Monday, April 22, the Swedish Electricity Safety Authority issued a press release stating that no measures need to be taken on already installed charging boxes of the Easee Home and Easee Charge models.

Nkom and DSB support this decision. This means that measures are not necessary in Norway for already installed charging stations. In other words, these charging stations can continue to be used.

The Swedish Electricity Safety Authority has recently issued an important decision regarding the charging stations Easee Home and Easee Charge. You can read the full press release here .

Summary of the decision:

• The Norwegian Electricity Safety Authority has determined that no immediate measures are necessary for the charging stations that have already been installed. The Norwegian Electricity Safety Authority has assessed that the risk of serious faults is so low that it is not considered necessary to take any measures on units that have already been installed.

What does this mean to you?

The Norwegian Electricity Safety Authority considers that the possible errors that may occur with the affected charging stations do not currently pose a serious risk of injury to persons or property, but would like to emphasize the importance of reporting any errors and irregularities to Easee.

What does this mean for installers and dealers?

For installers who have sold and installed Easee Home and Easee Charge charging stations, the Swedish Electricity Safety Authority's decision means that no immediate measures are necessary for the charging stations that have already been installed. Since the sales ban, Easee has launched Easee Charge Lite, which replaces Easee Home. Easee Charge Core, which replaces Easee Charge, will soon be launched.

Still allowed to buy Easee Home and Charge

NKOM and DSB have reached an agreement with Easee that it is permitted to assemble and install Easee Home and Charge until 2024 in Norway.

It is also worth noting that a sales ban for these models remains in effect in Sweden as of March 14, 2023, due to deficiencies in documentation and technical design that did not meet regulatory requirements. This ban emphasizes the importance of manufacturers meeting the safety standards required to protect consumers.

Future actions and reporting

Easee now has three weeks to appeal this decision and a further two months to provide a forecast of expected failures, which must then be followed up with a report on the actual failure outcome within 10 months. This follow-up is critical to ensuring that the products continue to be safe to use over time.
