The myenergi zappi is a charger you have fitted at home to charge an electric car, and it can also use spare power from solar panels. It charges at 7 kW, the usual speed for a home charger: about 25 to 30 miles of range for every hour plugged in. Octopus, E.ON Next and OVO list it for their smart EV tariffs, which charge the car when electricity is cheap.
Updated . We can make mistakes so always check with the manufacturer and your installer first. How we check
The questions most people start with, answered from myenergi's own documents.
About 25 to 30 miles of range for every hour plugged in, and about 10 to 12 hours for a full charge for most cars. The 22 kW version needs a three-phase supply, which most homes do not have.
You can choose a fixed cable (6.5 m), or a socket where you plug in your own cable. Installers call a fixed cable "tethered" and a socket "untethered".
Octopus lists it, so Octopus can run its charging at cheap times for you. E.ON Next and OVO list it too. It works with any overnight tariff that only needs a timer, such as EDF GoElectric.

It can charge your car with spare power from your panels, instead of sending it back to the grid.
It uses the Type 2 connector, which most electric cars sold in the UK use. Check the charging socket on your car, or ask your installer.
myenergi does not publish vehicle-to-home (V2H) or vehicle-to-grid (V2G) support for it, so it charges the car only. Chargers with vehicle-to-grid hardware.
It connects by Wi-Fi or a network cable, and has no mobile data. Check your Wi-Fi reaches the driveway, or ask about running a cable.
It has a built-in safety feature (myenergi calls it PEN fault protection) that usually means no earth rod is needed. The faster 22 kW version needs a three-phase supply, which most homes do not have; the standard version does not. Your installer checks all of this first.

Every feature, from myenergi's datasheet, manual and product pages.
The zappi is a home EV charger from myenergi, a UK company based in Stallingborough, Lincolnshire, which says the zappi is designed and manufactured in-house in the UK. The current model is the zappi 2.1. It comes in a 7 kW single-phase or 22 kW three-phase version, each with either a tethered 6.5 m Type 2 cable or a Type 2 socket, in white or black.
Its defining feature is a set of three charging modes. Two of them, ECO and ECO+, adjust the charging current to match surplus generation from solar panels or a wind turbine, using a current sensor on your electricity supply. The third, FAST, charges at the full rate available.
On a single-phase supply the zappi charges at up to 7 kW (32 A at 230 V). The three-phase model charges at up to 22 kW on a 400 V three-phase supply. Most UK homes have a single-phase supply; the 22 kW model needs a three-phase supply to charge at that rate. Charging current is variable from 6 A to 32 A.
The rate your car actually charges at is also limited by its own onboard charger. Many cars accept 7 kW or 11 kW on AC.
The tethered model has a 6.5 m Type 2 cable and an integral cable holster. The untethered model has a Type 2 socket with a locking system, so you use your own cable.
myenergi's datasheet describes the three modes as follows:
A clip-on grid current sensor is supplied in the box with a 5 m cable. myenergi also sells a wireless sensor, harvi, which links to the zappi over an 868 MHz radio connection.
Charging can be scheduled from the unit or in the myenergi app. The zappi also has an eSense input that can respond to an off-peak signal.
Three energy suppliers list the zappi on their own compatibility lists (checked 4 October 2026):
The datasheet lists an optional setting that limits the current drawn from the unit's supply or from the grid, so charging can be reduced when the rest of the home is using power.
The zappi has integral 6 mA DC residual current protection (RDC-DD, to EN 62955). The GB (-G) models comply with the UK smart charge point regulations; the international (-T) models are listed without PEN fault and tamper detection. myenergi states that no earth rod is required. Supply cable entry is from the rear or the bottom.
The zappi has built-in Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) and an Ethernet port. It supports OCPP 1.6J through the myenergi cloud, which lets it connect to a third-party charge point management platform. Firmware updates are checked automatically, and charge and event logs are kept.
The enclosure measures 438 x 282 x 122 mm and is rated IP65 (dust tight and protected against water jets) and IK10 for impact. It is made from PC/ASA and is rated for -25°C to +40°C when out of direct sunlight. Standby consumption is 3 W. The front has a backlit graphical LCD and buttons.
The zappi has a 3-year warranty as standard. myenergi sells an extended warranty that takes the total cover to 5 years; it must be bought no later than three months after the standard warranty expires.
Pick your car, how far you drive and a tariff. We use your car's own figures from our electric car data, the 26.32p price cap average as the standard rate, and the myenergi zappi's 7 kW for the charging time.
Charging 8,000 miles a year at home on Intelligent Octopus Go costs about £157, against £515 at the standard rate.
Rates checked October 2026, including 0% VAT; they vary by region and change often, so check with the supplier.
Three steps from here to your first charge at home.
You need somewhere to park off the street, such as a driveway or garage. 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.
Browse EV charger installers in 50 UK cities, each with its published Google rating, and ask for the myenergi zappi by name.
The installer checks your fuse box and earthing, fits the charger on its own circuit, tells your local network operator and connects it to the app.
