Solar compatible home EV charger

Zappi is one of the most popular brands of EV chargers currently on the market and here’s why:

  • MyEnergi, a British firm, created the Zappi line of electric vehicle (EV) chargers. The product's name, Zappi, which stands for "Zero APpliance Power Pollution Intelligence," reflects the company's commitment to green charging and the maximization of renewable energy.
  • Zappi chargers are built to work with a wide range of EVs, and they have multiple charging modes to meet the needs of drivers. Zappi chargers are able to prioritize charging from sustainable energy sources like solar panels and wind turbines. If and when renewable energy is available, the charger will change the charging rate to make the most efficient use of it.

Zappi charger has three primary modes

  • To charge the EV as quickly as possible, the charger can switch to "fast mode," which pulls power from the grid. When renewable energy sources are unavailable or if you just need a rapid charge, this mode comes in handy.
  • Eco mode is a setting that gives preference to using green energy. Zappi is able to track energy production from sources like solar panels and wind turbines, adjusting the charge rate as needed. Zappi will raise prices if renewable energy production exceeds demand. Zappi will decrease the charging rate if generation decreases to prevent excessive grid usage.
  • Eco+ mode is very much like Eco mode, but with one more handy addition. An "immersion controller" can be linked to Zappi in order to reroute the robot's surplus power to heat water. In this way, you can heat your water using the renewable energy you produced in excess, rather than having to send it back to the grid. When there is extra power after heating water, it is used to charge electric vehicles at a reduced rate.

The Most Popular EV charger for Solar Energy

Zappi chargers feature an LCD display that shows the current charging state, energy usage, and renewable energy output in real time. Additionally, they have smart charging features that let you control the charger from a distance or set a schedule for when it charges.

Overall, Zappi EV chargers provide a versatile and smart solution for charging electric vehicles, empowering drivers to make the most of renewable energy sources while reducing their dependency on the traditional power grid. Combining their winning technology with Duffy Heatings solar energy solutions gives you the best of both worlds. Clean and cheap renewable energy that can keep your vehicle running at a fraction of the cost of using fossil fuels while also helping to reduce your carbon footprint.
