myenergi Zappi (Untethered White): Smart Solar EV Charger for Home & Business (7kW/22kW)
Experience truly eco-smart charging with the myenergi Zappi, presented in a crisp White untethered design. This British-designed charger intelligently prioritises using your own renewable energy (like solar PV) thanks to its unique ECO modes. It is highly versatile, capable of delivering 7kW for standard homes or up to 22kW for businesses and properties with a three-phase supply. Manage charging schedules to align with energy tariffs and integrate with the wider myenergi ecosystem via the intuitive mobile app.
Maximise Green Energy, Minimise Grid Reliance
Zappi is renowned for its ability to charge using self-generated power. Choose the mode that best suits your daily needs:
- ECO Mode: Blends surplus solar or wind power with a minimal grid top-up to keep charging consistently, even during brief cloudy spells.
- ECO+ Mode: Guarantees charging using *only* your free, surplus renewable energy. It pauses if generation dips and resumes when sufficient power is available again — the greenest charging option possible.
- FAST Mode: Charges at the maximum rate your supply (7kW or 22kW) and vehicle allow, using grid and/or renewable energy. Perfect for when speed is essential.
This intelligent adjustment happens automatically, ensuring optimal use of available power based on your property's real-time consumption.
Smart Control for Cost-Effective Charging
Beyond its green credentials, Zappi offers advanced features to manage costs and electrical load:
- myenergi App & Connectivity: Monitor real-time charging status, view energy usage history, and control modes from anywhere via WiFi or a wired Ethernet connection.
- Scheduling for Economy Tariffs: Programme your Zappi to charge only during specific times, allowing you to take full advantage of cheaper off-peak or EV-specific energy tariffs like Octopus Intelligent Go.
- Expand Your Ecosystem: Zappi integrates seamlessly with eddi (for solar hot water) and libbi (battery storage) to create a comprehensive home energy management system.
- Optional Load Balancing: Ensures the charger does not overload your property's main fuse by automatically adjusting power draw when household demand is high.
Flexible Power & Installation for Any Site
The Zappi adapts to various installation requirements, from domestic driveways to commercial fleets:
- Adaptable Power Output (7kW/22kW): Delivers 7kW on standard UK single-phase supplies, ideal for home charging. On a three-phase supply, it ramps up to 22kW for significantly faster charging, suitable for commercial premises.
- Untethered Socket (White): This model features a universal Type 2 socket with a secure locking system. Use your vehicle's existing cable for a clean, uncluttered look on your wall. Also available in Black Untethered.
- Robust and Safe: Features a durable IP65/IK10 rated enclosure. It includes integral 6mA DC RCD protection and complies with UK Smart Charging Regulations. Installation is simplified as a separate earth rod is usually not required.

- Pedestal Mounting: Use the myenergi Zappi Pedestal to install one or two units securely in car parks or workplace environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I lock the socket so no one else uses it?
Yes. The Zappi features a socket locking system that can be controlled via the app, ensuring only authorised users can plug in and charge.
Do I need solar panels to use the Zappi?
No. Zappi works perfectly as a high-quality smart charger using grid power. Many customers buy it "solar-ready" so they can integrate panels at a later date without needing to replace their charger.
Is white harder to keep clean than black?
The high-quality IP65 casing is very durable. While white may show dirt more easily than black in high-traffic areas, it is easily wiped clean and often stays cooler in direct sunlight.
Does this include a charging cable?
As an "Untethered" model, it does not come with a fixed cable. This allows you to use the Type 2 cable that usually comes with your vehicle, or you can purchase a specific length cable separately from us.
