The MyEnergi Zappi is a UK-designed smart charger built around solar. Its standout feature is the ability to charge your car from surplus solar generation rather than exporting it, with modes that let you choose how much grid power it's allowed to use.
That makes it a popular choice for homes with solar panels, and it also works as a normal smart charger with scheduling if you don't have solar. To use the solar modes, it typically works with a sensor that measures your home's import and export, which your installer will fit as part of the job.
As with any charger, the practical installation questions are the same: a dedicated circuit, a sensible cable route, appropriate protection and earthing. If you're planning solar or a battery later, mention it during the survey so the installation can suit that.
Best for
Homes with solar panels, or planning them, that want to charge from their own generation.
