myenergi Zappi (Tethered Black, 6.5m): Smart Solar EV Charger (7kW/22kW)

myenergi Zappi (Tethered Black, 6.5m): Smart Solar EV Charger (7kW/22kW)

The myenergi Zappi (Tethered Black, 6.5m) is the UK’s best-known solar-aware EV charger, designed and manufactured in Britain. It combines plug-and-go convenience with advanced smart features that allow you to prioritise green energy, optimise off-peak tariffs, and monitor charging from anywhere using the myenergi app. Built with robust IP65/IK10 protection and a sleek black finish, this model suits both modern and traditional properties where a discreet tethered solution is preferred.

Unlike standard wallboxes, Zappi is built to integrate directly with your home’s renewable generation. Whether you have rooftop solar panels, battery storage, or just want to make the most of cheaper energy tariffs, Zappi intelligently adapts its charging to save you money and reduce reliance on the grid.

Smart Charging Modes for Solar & Savings

At the core of Zappi’s appeal are its unique charging modes, which give you full control over where your EV power comes from:

• ECO Mode: Balances solar generation with a top-up from the grid, ensuring your car charges consistently even with variable renewable output.
• ECO+ Mode: Charges your EV only when surplus renewable energy is available, pausing automatically if generation drops — perfect for maximising self-consumption.
• FAST Mode: Delivers full 7kW or 22kW charging power using any available source (grid or renewables) for the quickest turnaround.

These modes make the Zappi a standout choice for solar households, helping reduce energy bills and carbon emissions. With surplus PV energy diverted to your car instead of the grid, every charge becomes a step towards energy independence.

Smart Control, App Features & Energy Ecosystem Integration

The myenergi Zappi isn’t just a charger – it’s a central part of a smarter home energy system. Using the myenergi app, you can monitor, schedule, and control your EV charging from anywhere. Whether you want to lock the charger for security, track real-time consumption, or schedule overnight charging, the app provides full visibility and control.

App Features

• Remote monitoring: Track charge sessions, solar contribution, and grid usage in real time.
• Smart scheduling: Automatically charge during off-peak windows to benefit from tariffs like Octopus Intelligent Go (compatible vehicle required) or OVO Charge Anytime.
• Lock & security: Secure your charger remotely via the app or with built-in controls, preventing unauthorised use.
• Usage reports: View historical data to understand savings from smart tariff alignment and solar optimisation.

Part of the myenergi Ecosystem

Zappi works seamlessly alongside other myenergi products for a fully integrated energy setup:

• eddi: diverts surplus solar into heating hot water.
• libbi: stores excess renewable energy in a home battery, ready to use when needed.

With these products working together, your home becomes more energy efficient, maximising the value of every kilowatt generated on site. For larger homes or commercial installations, Zappi also supports optional load balancing to prevent overloading the main supply.

Design, Tethered Convenience & Built-In Safety

The myenergi Zappi Tethered Black (6.5m) combines everyday practicality with premium durability. Its permanently attached Type 2 cable makes daily charging quick and effortless – no need to retrieve a separate cable. The integrated holster keeps the 6.5m lead neat and protected when not in use, maintaining a tidy driveway or workplace installation.

Durability & Build Quality

Zappi is built for the British climate, with an IP65 weatherproof rating and IK10 impact resistance. Its robust casing and marine-grade fixings mean it will withstand rain, frost, and heat without fading or warping. This makes it suitable for exposed outdoor locations as well as garage installs.

• 6.5m tethered Type 2 cable: Always ready to plug in, stored neatly in the integral holster.
• Weatherproof & impact resistant: IP65 / IK10 build ensures year-round performance outdoors.

Safety & Compliance

Safety is at the core of Zappi’s design. This charger complies fully with the latest UK Smart Charging Regulations and includes advanced protection as standard:

• Built-in PEN fault detection: Removes the need for a separate earth rod, simplifying installation.
• 6mA DC RCD protection: Integrated for safer, regulation-compliant setup.
• Load balancing ready: Prevents overloading of your main supply.
• Secure access: Lock/unlock via the myenergi app to prevent unauthorised use.
