When your Easee charger senses too much heat, it will derate the current to protect the electronic components. A derated current is a current with reduced power, which results in slower charging. Reducing the power reduces the ambient temperature in the charger.

What do I do when high temperatures slow down charging?

If the charger becomes too hot, then it will completely shut down.

What do I do when high temperatures shut down the charger?

Why did my charger derate the current?

In nearly all cases the charger derated the current because of the ambient conditions.

This could be due to:

• High temperatures - the charger has many temperature sensors. If the heat has been outside of the rated specification temperatures, the charger will derate current until the temperatures allow for dissipation of heat
• Environmental stresses - factors such as humidity, chemical gasses, or altitude can affect heat dissipation and cause derating
• Installation issues - some installation locations do not allow for good air flow even if they appear like they would have good air flow and heat dissipation

A power outage or a power surge would not cause charger deratings.
