myenergi Zappi V2

The solar classic. British made, proven on thousands of homes, and still the benchmark for charging your car from your own panels. ECO and ECO+ modes put surplus solar straight into the battery, and FAST mode covers everyone else.

Solar charging
WiFi + Ethernet
Tethered or socket

Works with

Intelligent Octopus Go The UK’s most popular EV tariff. Around 8p per kWh overnight, with charging scheduled automatically for the cheapest and greenest slots.

OVO Charge Anytime Smart charging managed through the charger, with a low off peak rate applied whenever your car charges.

Maximum output: 7 kW
Connector: Tethered 6.5 m cable or Type 2 socket
Solar charging: Native, with the included CT clamp
Warranty: 3 year manufacturer warranty

Living with the myenergi app.

The Zappi V2 runs on the same myenergi app as the rest of the ecosystem. Live energy flows for the whole house, green contribution tracking, and charging that follows your tariff or your own solar, with eddi and libbi in the same dashboard if you add them later.

What you control from the app

Whole ecosystem: One app for the charger plus eddi, libbi and hub devices
Energy management: Household power distribution and consumption on live animated displays
Monitoring: Live and historical data for every myenergi device
Renewable optimisation: Maximise self consumption and track your green contribution
Charging preferences: Charge on tariff rates, on your own green energy, or both
Intelligent scheduling: Programme devices to run when energy is cheapest
Device prioritisation: Choose which device receives excess solar first

Our honest take on the myenergi Zappi V2.

The Zappi is the charger that made solar EV charging normal, and we have fitted a lot of them. ECO+ mode is still the party trick: the charger sits and waits until your roof produces more than the house is using, then feeds exactly that surplus into the car. Free miles, measured honestly.

The V2.1 fixed the old complaints. WiFi and Ethernet are built in so the extra hub is gone, and the on charger display means you can drive it entirely without a phone, which some owners genuinely prefer.

It is a big, functional looking unit, and that is really the only mark against it. If the wall is on show, look at the GLO. If you want the most proven solar charger in Britain and do not mind the size, this is it.

myenergi Zappi V2 questions, answered.

Does the Zappi need solar panels to work?

No. FAST mode charges from the grid like any 7 kW charger, and it works with Intelligent Octopus Go and OVO Charge Anytime. Solar is what it is famous for, not what it requires. Many customers fit the Zappi first and add panels later.

What do the Zappi ECO and ECO+ modes actually do?

ECO blends solar surplus with a little grid power to keep charging steadily. ECO+ is stricter: it pauses charging entirely until your panels generate more than the house is using, then charges from that surplus alone. ECO+ is how you fill the car for free on a sunny day.

Does the Zappi V2 need a myenergi hub?

Not any more. The v2.1 has WiFi and Ethernet built in, so it connects to the app directly. Only the original zappis needed the separate hub.

Should I choose the tethered or untethered Zappi?

Tethered comes with a 6.5 m cable ready on the wall, which suits daily charging at home. Untethered has a universal Type 2 socket, which looks tidier and suits households whose cars might change. We talk this through at the survey.
