Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a Type 2 EV Charger?
The main difference between Type 1 and Type 2 EV chargers is the connector design. Type 1 connectors have a five-pin, circular design, whereas Type 2 connectors have seven pins.
What is Zappi Type 2?
Zappi Type 2 is an EV charger that can also use 100% free energy from solar PV or wind generation. It offers both 1-phase and 3-phase options, with the latter including three CT clamps.
What is a 3-phase EV charger?
A 3-phase EV charger uses a three-phase electrical supply to charge EVs faster than a single-phase charger. It is commonly used in commercial and industrial settings and is ideal for businesses, fleet operators, and public charging stations.
How fast can a 3-phase EV charger charge an EV?
A 22 kW 3-phase charger can charge a 60 kWh battery in about three hours, whereas a 7kW single-phase charger takes around nine hours.
Do I need a special electrical supply for a 3-phase EV charger?
Yes, 3-phase chargers need a three-phase electrical supply, which is not usually found in homes. You will need to hire a licensed electrician to install this supply.
Can 3-phase EV chargers be used for all types of EVs?
Yes, they can charge all types of EVs, including BEVs and PHEVs. However, some EVs may not support the faster charging speeds of a 3-phase charger.
Can I get government incentives for installing a 3-phase EV charger?
Yes, many countries offer incentives such as tax credits, rebates, and grants for installing EV chargers. Check with local authorities for available incentives.
Is a tethered EV charger more expensive than an untethered one?
Tethered chargers generally cost more upfront because the cable is included. Untethered chargers are cheaper initially, but you might need to buy a cable separately. Zappi chargers are priced the same whether tethered or untethered.
Is a tethered EV charger more secure?
Yes, tethered chargers are more secure as the cable is permanently attached, reducing the risk of theft. Untethered chargers with detachable cables are more prone to theft but often include security features like pin protection or cable locking.
Can I control and monitor the Zappi Type 2 remotely using Wi-Fi?
Yes, the Zappi Type 2 has Wi-Fi and a mobile app, allowing you to monitor and control charging remotely. The app lets you set schedules, view history, and track energy usage and cost. It also works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
How easy is it to install the Zappi Type 2 at home?
The Zappi Type 2 is easy to install at home by a qualified electrician or solar expert. Its adjustable cable holder and compact, wall-mounted design make it suitable for tight spaces. Installation usually takes 4-6 hours.
Does the Zappi Type 2 support fast charging?
Yes, the Zappi Type 2 supports fast charging up to 7kW for single-phase and 22kW for three-phase, charging an EV up to three times faster than a standard 3-pin plug. It also has dynamic load balancing to ensure efficient charging without overloading your home’s electrical supply.
What is the maximum charging speed of the Zappi Type 2?
The Zappi Type 2 can charge at a maximum rate of 22kW three-phase, ensuring fast and efficient charging.
Does the Zappi Type 2 support solar panel integration?
Yes, the Zappi Type 2 can integrate with solar panels, allowing you to charge your EV using renewable energy. It also has smart charging modes to maximise solar energy usage and minimise reliance on grid electricity.
How can I switch between the different charging modes (ECO, ECO+, and FAST)?
Press and hold the button on the front of the unit for three seconds to cycle through ECO, ECO+, and FAST modes. Release the button when the desired mode is reached. The selected mode will be remembered for future sessions but can be changed at any time.
Can the Zappi Type 2 be used in commercial settings, such as for fleet charging?
Yes, the Zappi Type 2 is suitable for commercial settings like fleet depots and company car parks. It can handle multiple EVs and integrate with energy management systems for load balancing and optimised energy usage.
