We’re proud to manufacture renewable energy products and an EV home charger that works seamlessly with a wide range of electric cars. Are you wondering if you can use myenergi products with your electric car? Then read on.
Now that the government is also making more and more funding available to facilitate electric driving, the market is growing rapidly. More and more automakers are developing new electric cars and selling them on the used car market. Electric car batteries are also becoming smarter, making them increasingly sustainable. Thanks to new, innovative ways to charge your car, owning an electric car is becoming more attractive and better for the environment. But how does an electric car work with smart charging technologies? We’d love to tell you more about how you can combine your electric car with myenergi products.
Zappi
First, we’d like to tell you more about zappi, our smart EV charger. Of course, an EV charger can charge your car at home using your own charging station, but our zappi can do even more than that. It works seamlessly with your own green energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines. Thanks to our unique technology, you can easily switch between your self-generated energy and energy from the grid. This way, you can always charge your electric car in the most cost-effective way.
Even if you don’t have your own energy sources, you can still use myenergi products to charge your electric car. In that case, Zappi uses electricity from the grid to charge your car. Charging at home is often much cheaper than charging your car on the go.
Which electric cars are compatible with zappi? These include:
- Jaguar – I-PACE
- Volvo – XC40 Recharge
- Smart Car – the smart EQ fortwo and forfour
- Tesla – all Tesla models, including the S, 3, X, Y, and CyberTruck
- Audi – the e-tron models
- Peugeot – the e-208 and the e-2008 SUV
- Ford – the Mustang Mach-E
- Mercedes-Benz – The EQC
- Mitsubishi – the Outlander PHEV
- Mini – the Mini Electric
- Land Rover – All Land Rover PHEV Models
- BMW – All BMW i PHEV Models
- Citroën – the Citroën Electric and Plug-in Hybrid models
- Volkswagen – the Volkswagen ID models
- Nissan – the Nissan Leaf
- Kia – the Niro models
How does it work?
Our Zappi is available with two different connectors: Type 1 and Type 2. This means that almost any electric car can be paired with myenergi products and charged using Zappi.
Zappi is also capable of adjusting its charging power to match your electric car. It can also adapt to changes in the grid to help you save money. For example, it can be set to charge only during off-peak hours.
Can Zappi be used for hybrid cars?
Standard hybrid cars are very similar to gasoline and diesel cars. The difference lies in the engine. Hybrid cars have both a conventional engine and an electric motor, which means they don’t need to be charged. However, there are plug-in hybrid cars (PHEVs) on the market that have a more powerful battery. That battery can be charged by “plugging in” the car. These plug-in hybrid cars are compatible with our Zappi charger.
Why does Zappi have different charging levels?
With zappi, you can charge your car in three different ways:
- Fast: In this mode, zappi prioritizes charging time when drawing power from your renewable energy source and the grid.
- ECO: In this mode, zappi minimizes its use of electricity from the grid and draws only the energy it needs.
- ECO+: In this mode, zappi detects when excess energy you’ve generated is being fed back into the grid and automatically turns itself on to charge your electric car with that excess energy.
Combining an electric car with myenergi products
Our green energy products—zappi, harvi, and eddi—are all designed to work seamlessly together, making it easy for you to use your own green energy. By combining your electric car with myenergi products, you can make the most of the energy you generate yourself.
- Eddi is a smart energy redirector that you can use with your solar panels or wind turbines. It uses excess energy to heat water or rooms. This prevents your excess energy from flowing directly back into the grid.
- You can use Harvi alongside Zappi and Eddi. It is a self-powered wireless sensor that measures how much energy is generated and how much is fed back into the grid.
- The myenergi hub works with all of our products and allows you to remotely manage and monitor your myenergi products.
Our Dream for the Future
At myenergi, we dream of a world where everyone can generate their own energy and use it at home. This will help us save the planet and protect the future for generations to come. Combining an electric car with myenergi products is just the beginning of our journey, and we can’t wait to share future developments with you.
