Scottish Power and Easee Partner for 6p EV Charging
New smart charging bundle offers 78% savings on home energy bills through integrated Easee One hardware and EV Optimise tariffs.

The core of this offer is the Easee One home charger. When customers purchase this unit through ScottishPower, they can bolt the EV Optimise smart charging add-on to their existing tariff. This combination guarantees an exclusive 6p per kWh rate for one year. For a driver charging a 60kWh battery from 20% to 80% once a week, annual costs could plummet from over £518 to just £112.
The system relies on "intelligent syncing" between the charger and the energy grid. Users simply input their required charge level and "ready-by" time into the ScottishPower app; the EV Optimise software then automatically schedules charging during the greenest and cheapest periods. This not only saves money but also reduces strain on the national grid during peak hours.
Key features of the partnership include:
- Hardware Flexibility: Choose between tethered or untethered Easee One units, both installed by OZEV-accredited experts.
- Inclusive Options: Drivers who already own a home charger can still access a smart rate of 9p per kWh by adding EV Optimise to their tariff for free.
- Ease of Use: The Easee One is Wi-Fi enabled and designed to work seamlessly with a communicating smart meter and compatible vehicles.
By bundling hardware and supply into a single decision, ScottishPower and Easee are removing the complexity often associated with switching to electric. As Rozlyn Brennan of ScottishPower noted, this collaboration is a vital step in providing a smoother, higher-value experience for the UK's growing community of EV drivers.
