Description

Easee, a Norwegian manufacturer of EV chargers has announced a global restructuring plan, making 225 employees redundant. 138 jobs are cut in Norway, 35 in Germany, 30 in the UK, 17 in the Netherlands and 5 in France.

The reason behind this internal restructuring plan dates back to March when the Swedish National Electrical Safety Board (Elsäkerhetsverket) found a potential safety issue with the company's products and imposed a sales ban in Sweden. Sales were subsequently suspended in five other countries, putting the company in a difficult financial situation.

The internal restructuring by Easee in Norway has been recorded in the ERM events database Easee-2023-NO.
