As temperatures rise across Europe during the summer months, we'd like to share some information about how high ambient temperatures can affect your charger.

The charger continuously monitors its temperature using internal sensors that measure both the ambient temperature and the temperature of key internal components. As a result, high outdoor temperatures can have a significant impact on when the charger begins to reduce the charging current (derating). While ambient temperature alone is not always the sole cause, it is an important factor that influences this behaviour.

For this reason, it's worth keeping summer conditions in mind when charging. If your charger has recently started derating or you've noticed reduced charging power during the warmer months, high ambient temperatures may be contributing. A charger installed in direct sunlight can already reach temperatures of 40–50°C before a charging session even begins.

The good news is that this is expected behaviour. Easee chargers are designed to prioritise safety by protecting both the charger and its internal components from excessive heat. If temperatures become too high, the charger will automatically reduce the charging current to ensure safe and reliable operation.
