Customers who purchase an Easee One home charger through ScottishPower will be able to access ScottishPower’s EV Optimise smart charging add-on at 6p per kWh for 12 months, starting from the charger installation date, subject to eligibility.

Through the add-on, users of a 60kWh-capacity EV charging from 20 percent to 80 percent once a week could save up to 78 percent on their charging bill for the year under the latest energy cap – decreasing from £518.44 to £112.32.

With incentivisation for EV adoption at the top of the agenda for both vehicle-manufacturers and the government, the importance of removing cost and complexity barriers for consumers is coming into increasingly sharp focus.

The two companies bring together smart charging technology and a smart charging add-on to their existing tariff – ensuring hardware and energy supply work together, and customers can realise the benefits with just one decision, in one go. The charger-and-energy bundle is therefore designed to deliver immediately tangible benefits, lowering upfront costs while significantly reducing ongoing charging expenses.

By aligning Easee’s intelligent charging technology with ScottishPower’s EV Optimise offering, the bundled product supports charging at times when electricity is cheapest, cleanest and most readily available – helping drivers save on costs, while also supporting a more balanced and efficient electricity system by shifting charging away from peak demand periods.

“This partnership with ScottishPower is about making EV charging simpler, smarter and more affordable for drivers” said Sam Levy, Regional Sales Director for the UK & Ireland at Easee. “By combining Easee One with access to a smarter, lower-cost charging offer, we’re helping customers reduce charging costs at home while making it easier to benefit from intelligent charging. It’s a strong example of how the right technology and energy offer can work together to make EV ownership easier.”

Compact, weatherproof and built to evolve, Easee One is designed to seamlessly integrate into connected homes. With over-the-air software updates and built-in connectivity, the charger is designed to support future energy innovations without requiring customers to replace their hardware.

The collaboration reflects a broader shift across the EV and energy sectors towards integrated solutions that connect vehicles, homes and the grid into a single, flexible system. By aligning software, hardware and energy products, partnerships like this help turn EVs into a grid asset while making low-carbon living simpler and more affordable for everyday drivers.

Looking ahead, Easee continues to develop features such as solar prioritisation, dynamic energy management and vehicle-to-grid readiness – ensuring customers who invest today are prepared for what comes next as the energy ecosystem continues to evolve.

Customers must sign up to EV Optimise within 30 days of installation and meet tariff eligibility requirements, including vehicle and electricity account compatibility.

“Making EV ownership more accessible requires collaboration across the sector” added Rozlyn Brennan, Director of Smart Solutions at ScottishPower. “By combining our EV Optimise add-on with Easee’s smart charging technology, we’re helping customers benefit from lower-cost charging while supporting smarter use of the energy system. Partnerships like this are an important step in delivering better value and a smoother experience for EV drivers.”
