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.
When is the myEnergi Retrofit Tamper Kit needed?
The myEnergi Tamper Retrofit Kit is for Zappis with an ‘H’ in their model number. If your Zappi does not have built-in tamper detection, you need this kit for installations in England, Scotland, or Wales from 30th December 2022 to comply with smart charging regulations.
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.
Is a tethered EV charger more expensive than untethered?
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.
Is the Zappi Type 2 compatible with my EV model?
The Zappi Type 2 is compatible with all plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles using a Type 1 or Type 2 connector. It supports charging speeds from 2.3 kW up to 22 kW, depending on your EV’s capability.
How does dynamic load balancing work and how can it save me money on my electricity bills?
Dynamic load balancing adjusts the charging speed based on your home’s electricity usage. By using excess energy from solar panels or off-peak tariffs, the Zappi Type 2 charges your EV more efficiently, reducing electricity bills and charging more from sustainable energy sources.
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 7kW single-phase or 22kW three-phase, providing 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.
