I'm very surprised given their reputation and country of origin. Had I heard of Easee before installing our SyncEv I'd probably have gone with it based on the reviews. Equally surprising that none of the EVSE installers/reviewers discovered this before now. Leads me to wonder about other EVSE.

Hopefully it's electronics/software not functioning as intended and not that the hardware doesn't exist.

It failed the overvoltage test too but having contacted SyncEv over ours tripping out above the DNO mandated 254v I was informed that they could handle much higher voltages.

Could also be very poorly described specifications/functions... scratchchin

Whatever is going on I'm looking forward to finding out.

Elsälerhetverket says -

The product is not equipped with a residual current circuit breaker (30mA AC/6mA DC) as stated in the instructions for use,” the Swedish authority wrote.

Easee says -

Easee has both AC and DC ground fault protection. An accurate and fast digital sensor detects any leakage current and signals this so that the current is interrupted. The sensor has been developed and tested by a specialized third-party supplier. Leakage current above 6mA DC or 30mA AC will trip the protection.

Contradictory statements unless the Easee sensor is in a format that Elsälerhetverket simply hasn't recognised.

I assume the other EVSE passed the same tests the Easee was subjected to so still not clear what's going on.

That is concerning and leads me to wonder if other manufacturers have gone down a similarly compromised 'integrated' RCD route. Our SyncEv for instance is a very compact unit. How small can separate RCD modules be?
