Weybridge: convenient charging and everyday control
For this Weybridge property, we mounted a black zappi on the brickwork beside the driveway, keeping the charger within easy reach of the parking area. The tethered lead stays attached to the charger, ready to plug into the vehicle. With a suitable internet connection and MyEnergi app setup, owners can check charging progress and manage charging from their phone, alongside the controls on the unit.
A dedicated supply for the EV charger
At the same property, we installed a new consumer unit inside a dedicated external enclosure. Galvanised trunking runs from the main incoming supply in the outside service box to this enclosure. Planning the supply and protective equipment is as important as choosing the charger: we select the circuit protection to suit the installation and the manufacturer’s instructions, then test and certify our work.
Basingstoke: charging around your electricity tariff
This black tethered zappi installation in Basingstoke illustrates the convenience of keeping the charging lead stored around the unit. Scheduled charging allows owners on a suitable tariff to take advantage of cheaper overnight electricity. Zappi also offers FAST, ECO and ECO+ charging modes: FAST charges at the maximum rate permitted by the vehicle and installation, while the ECO modes offer ways to use surplus generation where solar is installed. Solar panels are optional — zappi also works as a home charger using grid electricity.
