    {
      "q": "Does the zappi need an earth rod?",
      "a": "myenergi says no earth rod is required. Its datasheet states that the GB (-G) models comply with the UK smart charge point regulations, while the international (-T) models have no PEN fault and tamper detection. Your installer still has to confirm the earthing arrangement for your property."
    },
    {
      "q": "What is the difference between ECO and ECO+ on the zappi?",
      "a": "According to myenergi's datasheet, ECO charges from a mix of surplus generation and grid power and takes up to 1.4 kW from the grid to keep charging going. ECO+ only uses generation that would otherwise be exported, and pauses when the surplus drops below the car's minimum charging level. FAST charges at the maximum available rate from any source."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does the zappi work with Intelligent Octopus Go?",
      "a": "Yes. Octopus lists 'zappi (all models)' as a supported charger for Intelligent Octopus Go (checked 4 October 2026). OVO also lists myenergi for Charge Anytime, and E.ON Next lists zappi for Next Drive Smart."
    },
    {
      "q": "Is there a 22 kW zappi?",
      "a": "Yes. The zappi is sold as a 7 kW single-phase or 22 kW three-phase unit. The 22 kW version needs a three-phase electricity supply."
    },
    {
      "q": "What warranty does the zappi have?",
      "a": "Three years as standard. myenergi sells an extended warranty that takes the total to five years; it has to be bought no later than three months after the standard warranty ends."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which chargers are similar to the myenergi zappi?",
      "a": "Andersen Quartz, Wallbox Pulsar Max and Cord Zero share the most charger types with it (such as solar charging, cable type and smart tariff listings). They are listed by how many types they share, then A to Z; this is not a ranking. Compare any two side by side on our compare page."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does the myenergi zappi support V2H or V2G?",
      "a": "No. myenergi does not publish vehicle-to-home (V2H) or vehicle-to-grid (V2G) support for the myenergi zappi, so it charges the car only."
    },
    {
      "q": "How much does the myenergi zappi cost?",
      "a": "We do not list prices, because they change often and most people buy a charger fitted, so the price depends on the installer and your home. Ask two or three installers for a fitted price for the myenergi zappi by name. If you rent, or own a flat with private off-street parking, the EV chargepoint grant can cover 75% of the cost of buying and installing a chargepoint, up to £500."
