Choose and manage Easee Keys
Choose the right key for access and consumption reporting.
Choose the right key
Choose a key based on where it must work, whether offline access is required and whether charging sessions must remain linked to a user.
Account key
Linked to an Easee account. Charging sessions can be assigned to the account holder and included in reports filtered by key or user. Requires cloud authorisation.
Site key
Linked to one charging site and available on all chargers at that site. Provides shared access without linking the key to a personal account. Requires cloud authorisation.
Imported account key
An existing account key imported to a specific charger. It works while the charger is offline, remains linked to the account and stays available in reports filtered by key. Add and manage the key in the Easee App over Bluetooth.
Local key
Created on one charger without an account link. It works while the charger is offline. Its sessions remain part of total consumption but cannot be filtered by key. Local keys cannot be removed individually.
Add an Easee Key

Compare reporting options
-
Account key
Charging sessions can be assigned to the account holder and included in reports filtered by key or user.
-
Site key
Charging sessions can appear in charger and key views. User-based reporting is limited because the key is not linked to a personal account.
-
Imported account key
Charging sessions remain linked to the account and can be included in reports filtered by key or user. The key also works offline on the selected charger.
-
Local key
Charging sessions are included in the charger's total consumption. They do not appear in user or key views and are excluded when the report is filtered by key.
Where to view consumption
Use the Easee App to view your own sessions. Use Easee Control for site-level reports if your role has access.
Personal consumption: Easee App
If your Easee Key is linked to your Easee account, you can view and export the charging sessions assigned to that key in the Easee App.
Site reports: Easee Control
Authorised site roles can review and export consumption in Easee Control. Available filters depend on the selected report.
Remove an Easee Key
Export any required consumption data before deleting a key or removing it from a charger.
-
Before deleting a key
Export any required consumption data as CSV or PDF. Deleting a key is permanent and may remove its link to a user in reports.
-
Account, site and imported keys
Delete account and site keys in the Easee App or Easee Control. Remove an imported key individually in the Easee App while connected to the charger over Bluetooth.
-
Local keys
Connect to the charger over Bluetooth in the Easee App. Local keys cannot be removed individually. Remove all local keys from the charger, then add back the keys that should retain access.
Supported cards and tags
The key must present the same identifier each time it is used at the charger.
RFID and NFC tags
Recommended
Use an Easee Key or another RFID or NFC tag with a fixed identifier. These are the most reliable options.
Bank cards
Usually not suitable
Contactless bank cards usually use changing dynamic tokens. A bank card works only if it presents the same permanent identifier each time. It is used only for identification, never for payment.
Smartphones
Usually not suitable
Apple and Android phones usually use changing dynamic tokens. A phone works only if it presents the same permanent identifier each time.
