Is the Easee Charge Max compatible with Tesla?

Yes. The Easee Charge Max uses the Type 2 connection used by UK Tesla models. Actual AC charging speed is limited by the lower of the vehicle's onboard-charger limit, the property's supply and the charger's 7.4kW single-phase capability.

What warranty does the Easee Charge Max come with?

The Easee Charge Max comes with a 5 years warranty. It is currently recorded as OZEV-approved; the property, vehicle and installer must also meet the grant rules.

What is the power output of the Easee Charge Max?

The Easee Charge Max supports 7.4kW on single phase and up to 22kW on a suitable three-phase supply. A 20–80% time depends on the Tesla model's usable battery capacity and AC limit as well as the available supply.

Can the Easee Charge Max charge from solar panels?

The Easee Charge Max can support solar charging with an add-on or compatible energy-management setup. Confirm the required metering and hardware before ordering.

Does the Easee Charge Max work with smart energy tariffs?

The Easee Charge Max can schedule charging in its app, which suits a fixed off-peak window. It does not imply direct supplier-API integration, so check the tariff's compatibility rules.

The installed range is an estimate. The source date above is separate from the editorial review date.

The grown-up Easee. Same 256 × 193 mm body as the Easee One, same 1.6 kg, same socket with a permanent cable lock — but three-phase 22 kW, a MID Class B meter that produces legally valid readings, ISO 15118 hardware, and a five-year warranty against the One's three. It is the model Easee is consolidating its whole European range onto by the end of 2026 (the Core and Up are being dropped), so it is also the Easee with the longest support horizon. UK resellers list it at £875, £395 above the One.

The meter is the point. A MID-certified reading is what HMRC, a leasing company or a landlord will accept as proof of what a car drew, so the Max is the Easee for a company-car driver who claims home charging back, or a landlord putting a charger on a let. For a private owner who just wants 7.4 kW, the One does the same job and the premium buys three-phase capability and warranty you may never use.

Best for: Three-phase homes, company-car drivers who reclaim charging costs, and anyone who wants Easee's design with the longest warranty in the range.

Installation

Fitting the Easee Charge Max.

The Easee case for installers is unchanged: the RCD (Type A 30 mA plus 6 mA DC detection) is inside the unit, UK units carry open-PEN protection so there is no earth rod, and the backplate takes a 1.6 kg box. IP54 and IK10. On a single-phase supply it is a £400–£600 fit like the One; on three-phase it needs a 3-pole supply and, if you do not already have one, a DNO application that costs far more than the charger. Easee Link lets up to three Easee units share a supply without extra hardware, but balancing against the house — turning the car down when the oven is on — needs the Easee Equalizer, a separate CT meter at about £120, and so does solar-surplus charging. There is no tethered Max; Easee's own 5 m cable is about £150. Full walkthrough in our installation guide.

Tariff compatibility

What it costs to run.

The weak spot, and it is the same weak spot as the One. No Easee is on Octopus's charger-led list for Intelligent Go, none is compatible with OVO Charge Anytime, and E.ON's Next Drive Smart list does not include it. A Tesla, or any car on Octopus's vehicle list, gets around this: Intelligent Go schedules through the car's own API and the Easee is just the socket. For an older EV without a supported API you are on a fixed-window tariff — Octopus Go, EDF GoElectric — with the Easee app's scheduler. If supplier-led automation is the point, the NexBlue Edge does 22 kW with Octopus and OVO links for £276 less. More in our smart-tariff chargers guide.

Compare every tariff

Price

What you actually pay.

The unit is currently £875. £400–£600 is the working installation range, putting a typical installed total at £1,275–£1,475. Socket-only, product no. 10233, at UK resellers (Fore UK £876, installed £1,176). Easee's 5 m cable is about £150 extra and the Equalizer about £120.

Five-year total

£2,326

Charger, installation, and five years of electricity on EDF GoElectric, at 10,000 miles a year.

Less £500 if you qualify for the OZEV grant.

Against the field

How it compares.

Against the Easee One: identical looks and install, and the One is £395 cheaper. The Max adds three-phase, MID, ISO 15118 and two years of warranty. On a single-phase supply with no reimbursement to claim, buy the One. Against the NexBlue Edge: the Edge is cheaper and talks to OVO and Octopus; the Max has the meter, the internal RCD and the longer warranty. Against the myenergi zappi 22 kW: the zappi has native solar diversion and the broadest tariff support, but it is a bigger unit with a three-year warranty. Against the Wallbox Pulsar Max: a similar price for a tethered single-phase unit; the Easee buys three-phase and MID instead of a cable.

Cross-shopped with

What we loved

PlusMID Class B (±1%) meter — readings a leasing company, HMRC claim or tenant will accept
Plus7.4 kW single-phase or 22 kW three-phase from the same 1.6 kg body as the One
PlusFive-year warranty, two more than the One or the Easee Charge
PlusRCD and PEN fault protection inside the unit, so a simpler consumer-unit side than most 22 kW chargers
PlusWi-Fi, lifetime 4G eSIM and Bluetooth; Easee Link balances up to three chargers without extra hardware
PlusISO 15118 hardware, and the model Easee is standardising on, so the longest support life in the range

What we didn't

MinusNo Octopus Intelligent Go, OVO Charge Anytime or E.ON Next Drive Smart integration — the car has to do it

Minus£395 more than the One for features most single-phase homes won't use
MinusEasee's Trustpilot record includes earth-fault red-light faults and chatbot-only support
MinusThe 2023 Swedish and Dutch sales ban over RCD documentation is resolved, but it's part of the brand's history
