Zappi GLO 7kW Smart EV Charger – Tethered Type 2 with 6.5m Cable
The Zappi GLO 7kW Smart EV Charger is myenergi’s compact, screen-free charger for UK homes that want set-and-forget smart charging. This tethered model includes a 6.5-metre Type 2 cable for everyday plug-and-go convenience and supports secure RFID tap-to-charge access control through the myenergi app for up to 126 users.
What is the Zappi GLO EV charger?
Zappi GLO is a smart EV charger designed around automation. Instead of a screen and on-unit controls, it uses the myenergi app and RFID cards/fobs for control. This results in a smaller, cleaner-looking charger that still delivers the intelligent charging features Zappi is known for—including solar integration and tariff scheduling.
Zappi GLO vs standard Zappi – What’s the difference?
If you’re comparing Zappi GLO with the standard Zappi, the key difference is how you interact with the unit. The standard Zappi includes a built-in display and physical buttons, while Zappi GLO is screen-free and app-led.
- Zappi GLO: Compact, minimalist design, app + RFID control. Ideal for shared driveways or discreet installs.
- Standard Zappi: On-unit screen and controls. Suited to users who prefer direct interaction at the charger.
Smart Solar & Tariff Charging Explained
Zappi GLO supports three charging modes—Eco, Eco+, and Fast—allowing you to prioritise surplus solar energy, schedule off-peak charging, or charge at full power when needed. Through the myenergi app, you can align charging to time-of-use windows on popular UK tariffs, such as Octopus Intelligent Go, significantly reducing your running costs.
For homes with solar PV, Eco and Eco+ modes automatically divert spare generation into your EV. Zappi GLO fits naturally into the wider myenergi ecosystem (including eddi, harvi, libbi, and Equalizer) for a joined-up approach to home energy management.
RFID Access Control for Shared Use
Built-in RFID tap-to-charge makes Zappi GLO a strong option where access needs to be controlled. Each card or fob can be registered and managed through the myenergi app, helping households and shared parking locations keep charging simple and secure. Zappi GLO supports up to 126 unique users.
Durability, Safety & UK Compliance
Designed and assembled in the UK, Zappi GLO is built for outdoor use with an IP65 ingress rating and IK10 impact resistance. Safety features include integrated 6mA DC fault protection and PEN fault detection, removing the need for an earth rod in typical installs. It also meets the full requirements of the UK Smart Charging Regulations.
