myenergi Zappi

Who the myenergi Zappi suits

The Zappi is the home charger to beat if you own (or are planning) solar panels or a home battery. Its standout feature is solar diversion: in eco and eco+ modes it sends surplus PV generation into your car rather than exporting it cheaply to the grid, so you charge from your own electricity. If you don’t have solar, you’re paying a premium for a feature you won’t use, and a simpler smart charger may suit you better. See how it stacks up against its main rivals in our Zappi vs Ohme and Zappi vs Hypervolt comparisons, or against the design-led alternative in Andersen A3 vs Zappi.

Key features

• Solar diversion modes: fast (grid), eco (blends grid + surplus) and eco+ (surplus only).
• Flexible hardware, available tethered or untethered, 7kW single-phase or 22kW three-phase.
• Smart app and scheduling to set off-peak charging windows and monitor usage.
• Load balancing manages household demand to avoid tripping your supply.
• Ecosystem hub that pairs with myenergi batteries and the Eddi immersion diverter.

What to check before you buy

• Do you actually have solar? The Zappi’s value is in self-consumption — our guide to pairing solar panels with EV charging explains how the savings work. No panels, no payoff.
• Tethered vs untethered: a fixed cable is convenient; a socket is tidier and future-proof. Our guide to choosing between a fixed cable and a socket helps you decide.
• Three-phase supply: the 22kW variant needs a three-phase connection, which most homes don’t have.

Evova doesn’t sell chargers. Check whether your installation could be part-funded through a grant, then find a home charger installer to survey your property and fit the unit.
