    {
      "q": "How is the zappi GLO different from the zappi?",
      "a": "The zappi GLO is single-phase only (7 kW), has no screen and is set up and controlled through the myenergi app. It adds an RFID access key reader. The zappi is available in 7 kW or 22 kW, has a backlit LCD with buttons, and has separate ECO, ECO+ and FAST modes."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can the zappi GLO charge from solar panels?",
      "a": "Yes. myenergi says Smart Mode uses surplus solar energy when it is available, alongside schedules and dynamic tariffs. With Smart Mode off, the GLO charges at full power while still prioritising solar if available."
    },
    {
      "q": "What does the zappi GLO do out of the box?",
      "a": "myenergi's quick start guide says it runs in Smart Mode with a built-in schedule from midnight to 8am, Monday to Friday. You can change or delete the schedule in the myenergi app."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does the zappi GLO work with Intelligent Octopus Go?",
      "a": "Octopus lists 'zappi (all models)' as a supported charger for Intelligent Octopus Go (checked 4 October 2026). OVO lists myenergi for Charge Anytime and E.ON Next lists zappi for Next Drive Smart."
    },
    {
      "q": "What warranty does the zappi GLO have?",
      "a": "Three years as standard. myenergi's extended warranty, which covers the zappi GLO, takes the total to five years if bought within three months of the standard warranty ending."
    },
    {
      "q": "What does installing the myenergi zappi GLO involve?",
      "a": "A qualified installer fits it on its own circuit, checks your supply and earthing, and notifies your network operator. myenergi lists built-in PEN fault protection. For solar charging, ask for the supply sensor to be fitted on the same visit."
    },
    {
      "q": "Which chargers are similar to the myenergi zappi GLO?",
      "a": "Andersen Quartz, Cord Zero and myenergi zappi 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 GLO support V2H or V2G?",
      "a": "No. myenergi does not publish vehicle-to-home (V2H) or vehicle-to-grid (V2G) support for the myenergi zappi GLO, so it charges the car only."
    },
    {
      "q": "How much does the myenergi zappi GLO 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 GLO 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."
