A New Step Toward Affordable EV Ownership
Electric vehicle adoption is accelerating worldwide, but the cost and complexity of charging at home remain key concerns for many drivers. To address this challenge, Easee and ScottishPower have introduced a new promotion designed to make EV charging simpler, smarter, and significantly cheaper. The partnership combines advanced charging technology with an intelligent energy tariff to help EV owners dramatically reduce their home-charging expenses.
Through this collaboration, customers purchasing the Easee One home charger via ScottishPower gain access to the EV Optimise smart-charging add-on at a highly competitive rate of 6p per kWh for 12 months from the installation date, provided they meet eligibility requirements. This bundled approach ensures customers can benefit from both smart hardware and optimized energy pricing in a single decision.
How does the Smart Charging Offer work?
The integrated solution from Easee and ScottishPower allows EV drivers to automatically charge their vehicles when electricity is cheapest and most readily available. By shifting charging to off-peak hours, the system not only saves money but also helps reduce pressure on the electricity grid during peak demand periods.
For example, a driver with a 60 kWh electric vehicle who charges from 20% to 80% once per week could experience dramatic savings. Under the current energy price cap, annual charging costs could fall from approximately £518.44 to just £112.32. This represents a reduction of up to 78%, making home charging far more affordable.
Collaboration Driving Smarter Energy Use
The initiative highlights how collaboration across the EV and energy sectors can accelerate the transition to sustainable transportation. By combining smart charging hardware with flexible energy tariffs, Easee and ScottishPower are helping drivers enjoy lower costs while supporting a more efficient energy system.
The intelligent technology automatically schedules charging sessions when electricity is cheaper and cleaner. This approach not only reduces expenses for EV owners but also supports grid stability by encouraging energy use during periods of lower demand.
Technology Designed for the Future
The Easee One charger is compact, weatherproof, and built for connected homes. It includes built-in connectivity and receives over-the-air software updates, ensuring that the hardware continues to evolve alongside emerging energy technologies.
Future features such as solar prioritisation, dynamic energy management, and vehicle-to-grid readiness are already part of the development roadmap. These innovations will enable EVs to play a larger role in balancing the energy grid and supporting renewable power integration.
Simplifying the EV Experience
The collaboration between Easee and ScottishPower reflects a broader industry shift toward integrated solutions that link vehicles, homes, and energy networks. By removing cost barriers and simplifying charging, the partnership makes EV ownership more accessible while supporting a smarter and more sustainable energy ecosystem.
Customers who install the charger must enroll in the EV Optimise add-on within 30 days and meet tariff compatibility requirements. Once activated, the system delivers immediate benefits—lower charging costs, smarter energy use, and a smoother EV ownership experience.
