Having an\u00a0OZEV approved\u00a0charger\u00a0is the most important criteria if you wish to claim the \u00a3350 OLEV grant. This grant is given by the Government Office for Low Emissions Vehicles to cover installation costs and to ensure motorists get a reliable OLEZ approved charge point installer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Before you have your charger fitted, you need to submit an application to the DNO (District Network Operator), the company responsible for providing electricity to your property. This request will state what type of charge you\u2019re installing, and how powerful it is.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">The DNO application is something your installer can do for you, but if you want to install your EV charger yourself, you need to follow these\u00a0steps and information.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">We advise that you check the electrical infrastructure of your home, before installing an EV charger. The typical home works at a specification of roughly 60 amps \u2013 and you run the risk of blowing fuses and causing electrical problems if you reach the maximum amount of energy your street or board can manage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">zappi\u2019s built-in safety features monitor what\u2019s going on in your home to prevent this from happening, and due to its load balancing and load curtailment features, it doesn\u2019t require a DNO.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"block-fifty-fifty-img-txt-block_022ef542e1e0f685ea77f95f727c3bfa\"  class=\"bg-white flexi-block fifty-fifty-img-txt-block  \">\n\t<div class=\"container relative z-10 flex flex-wrap justify-center pb-0 mx-auto pt-12 md:pt-20 lg:pt-32 pb-12 md:pb-20 lg:pb-32 \">\n        <div class=\"flex flex-wrap w-full justify-center lg:justify-between items-center    \">\n\n            \n                <div class=\"w-full load-hidden image-wrapper lg:w-1\/2 md:max-w-[500px] lg:max-w-none  xl:pr-3.9\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/zappi-charger-icon-700x700-1.jpeg\" class=\"w-full rounded-2.5xl\" alt=\"\" style=\"opacity: 1\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/zappi-charger-icon-700x700-1.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/zappi-charger-icon-700x700-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/zappi-charger-icon-700x700-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/zappi-charger-icon-700x700-1-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/zappi-charger-icon-700x700-1-250x250.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>                <\/div>\n\n            \n            \n                <div class=\"w-full self-center lg:w-1\/2 md:max-w-[500px] lg:max-w-none lg:pl-20 2xl:pl-45 pt-12 lg:pt-0 load-hidden content-wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"w-full first-mt-0 last-mb-0 \">\n                        <h4>How much does electric car charger home installation cost?<\/h4>\n<p>The most popular smart EV chargers in the Ireland vary in price \u2013 ranging anywhere from \u20ac600 \u2013 \u20ac3,500 including installation.

To make the most out of your EV charger, you should find a mode and rate of charge that best suits your needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 flex center justify-center connector\" style=\"text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"col-12 connected-full-text-block\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">For example, the\u00a0zappi\u00a0has three different types of charging mode:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: center\">\n<li>Fast mode: This is exactly as it sounds. In this mode, zappi will charge your vehicle at the maximum power as quickly as possible. This mode will utilise any surplus energy available, and top up to maximum power from the grid until the vehicle is fully charged.<\/li>\n<li>ECO: On ECO mode, zappi becomes an intelligent device that adjusts its charge rate to minimise using electricity from the national grid. With over 1.4kwh surplus, zappi will charge just like in ECO+ mode. However, if the surplus drops below the minimum charge rate of 1.4kw, zappi will pull from the grid to achieve the 1.4kw, and remain charging instead of pausing the charge.<\/li>\n<li>ECO+: The most economical charging mode, this is the complete opposite to Fast mode. In ECO+, zappi will charge on 100% green energy from your surplus PV with absolutely zero grid power.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Specifically designed to work alongside solar PV panels and wind turbines, zappi can automatically start charging your EV with any surplus power generated. This means no energy is wasted or exported to the grid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">At myenergi, we\u2019re proud to engineer a smart EV charger that\u2019s designed to give our customers complete control over how much of their self-generated renewable energy is used to charge their EV. Zappi isn\u2019t simply a solar PV or wind turbine charger \u2013 it has the power to use both the grid and a microgeneration system. Whether you&#8217;re looking for the best EV charger in Ireland or applying for a grant-supported installation, Zappi delivers smart, future-proof performance<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"block-fifty-fifty-img-txt-block_75c2ff8f4dd4d779afca39f80094d19e\"  class=\"bg-white flexi-block fifty-fifty-img-txt-block  \">\n\t<div class=\"container relative z-10 flex flex-wrap justify-center pb-0 mx-auto pt-12 md:pt-20 lg:pt-32 pb-12 md:pb-20 lg:pb-32 \">\n        <div class=\"flex flex-wrap w-full justify-center lg:justify-between items-center    lg:flex-row-reverse\">\n\n            \n                <div class=\"w-full load-hidden image-wrapper lg:w-1\/2 md:max-w-[500px] lg:max-w-none  xl:pl-3.9\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/harvi-hero-600x700-1.png\" class=\"w-full rounded-2.5xl\" alt=\"\" style=\"opacity: 1\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/harvi-hero-600x700-1.png 600w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/harvi-hero-600x700-1-257x300.png 257w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/08\/harvi-hero-600x700-1-214x250.png 214w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>                <\/div>\n\n            \n            \n                <div class=\"w-full self-center lg:w-1\/2 md:max-w-[500px] lg:max-w-none lg:pr-20 2xl:pr-45 pt-12 lg:pb-0 load-hidden content-wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"w-full first-mt-0 last-mb-0 \">\n                        <h4>Complimenting your EV Charger<\/h4>\n<p>You can enhance the performance of your electric car charger home installation by using extra devices.
