About Zappi

Why We Fit Zappi

The myenergi Zappi exists for one reason: putting solar power into your car instead of exporting it for a few cents. Its Eco+ mode waits until your panels are making more than the house is using, then charges with only that surplus. Eco mode blends surplus with a trickle of grid power. Fast mode behaves like any other 7kW charger when you need the range by morning. A Cashmere customer of ours runs his Tesla from 10am to 3pm on sunny days at next to no cost.

The CT clamps that make the solar modes work also give the Zappi load management as standard, so it suits older boards too. It comes tethered or as a socket unit. The premium only makes sense if you have solar or are about to get it. If you are not, an Evnex or EV Power charger does the everyday job for less.

Reviews

Zappi Owners Say

Watching the Zappi run the Tesla from 10am through to 3pm on a bright day, at next to no cost, never stops being satisfying. Our power bill is well below what our neighbours pay with the same solar system, simply because we're consuming our own generation rather than giving it away at a low rate.

Where the Zappi Earns Its Price

The Zappi home charger earns its price on a house with panels. Its Eco+ mode waits for surplus solar and charges the car with power you would otherwise export for a few cents. Without solar it still works as a good 7kW charger with load management, at $2,418 installed.

FAQs

Zappi Questions

Usually not. Without solar you are paying for diversion modes you will never use. Pick an Evnex or EV Power charger with load management and keep the difference, or buy the Zappi if solar is on your plans for the next year or two.

Eco+ mode starts charging once your surplus reaches about 1.4kW, the minimum an EV will accept. A typical 5kW Christchurch system makes that comfortably through the middle of a clear day, putting 20 to 30kWh into the car over a summer afternoon.

Yes. The Zappi measures your import and export with CT clamps on your mains, so it does not need to talk to the inverter at all. It works alongside any grid-tied solar system.
