More choices. More control. Meet OCPP.
zappi now complies with OCPP regulations as standard.
This means you can connect to any OCPP-compatible platform, allowing you to monitor and manage your charging experience.
What is OCPP?
OCPP is a standardized communication protocol for EV charging infrastructure, regardless of the manufacturer. It is designed to enable compatibility between EV chargers and management software, thereby offering consumers greater convenience and choice.
What are the benefits?
OCPP offers four key benefits for zappi users, which vary slightly depending on whether you have a single zappi at home or are using multiple zappis in a business setting:
Inspection
Set a PIN to control who has access to your Zappi.
Select
Select the default charging mode (Fast, Eco, Eco+) when starting a charging session.
Keep track of
Use zappi to keep track of who, when, and how much is charged—ideal for tracking business mileage.
Connect
Connect to any OCPP-compatible platform.
Do I need to pay or upgrade?
OCPP is a free, open-source protocol. All you need to do is update your Zappi's firmware to use it.
Not sure how to upgrade?
If you've never updated your Zappi and don't know how to do it, you'll find the manuals on the product support pages under the "Downloads" heading. These can help you install the latest firmware version step by step.

#1 Solar Charger
Whether you have solar panels or not, zappi will charge your car!Get ready for the future with the zappi home charger.
zappi offers personalized charging tailored to your lifestyle and preferences. Whether you need a quick charge, prefer to charge using 100% renewable energy, or a combination of both, zappi gives you the flexibility to charge your way.
Eco-charging mode combines green energy with energy drawn from the grid. This mode minimizes the use of grid power—typically taking advantage of lower rates overnight—but it also allows you to charge using 100% green energy. This gives you the option to charge your car for free! The charging power is continuously adjusted to account for changes in electricity generation or power consumption elsewhere in the home.
If the surplus of generated energy falls below 1.4 kW, electricity is drawn from the grid to replenish it.
“Eco+” charging is very similar to “eco” charging in that it can use power from the grid or your own energy source. However, the charging power is constantly adjusted based on changes in power generation or power consumption elsewhere in the home. Charging your electric car is paused if too much power is being drawn and resumes only when there is a surplus of available power.
In fast-charging mode, your vehicle is charged at maximum power. This power can come from a renewable energy source or simply from the grid. The cost of charging an electric car also depends on various factors, including the charging mode and the type of car.
If you don't have solar panels or wind power generation, zappi charges the same way as a standard Mode 3 charging station.
Setting Timers
At certain times of day, flexible energy rates are significantly lower. With zappi, you can use the “boost timer” option to start charging during the periods with the lowest rates. It’s a cost-effective charging timer for your electric vehicle!
Flexible Charging
There are several energy providers that offer special contracts under which you pay a different rate every hour, depending on the purchase price. With an automatic connection, zappi can decide for you which rates are most favorable by delaying or starting the charging process.
Charging with Solar Power
zappi works in harmony with your solar panels or wind turbine. This means you can charge your car with green energy at no cost. If you don’t have a renewable energy source at home, zappi works just like any other charger in “fast mode.”
Remote Access
With the myenergi app, you can access and control your devices from anywhere in the world! Visual graphs let you monitor your energy import and export data all in one place.
PIN-protected
A 5-digit PIN is a security feature built into this smart EV charging station, should you choose to use it. This prevents people from changing your settings, using your solar EV charger without permission, or tampering with it.
EV charger with a 3-year warranty
In addition to our excellent technical support to answer all your questions, zappi also comes with a 3-year warranty. Once your myenergi zappi is installed, register your individual products to take full advantage of the 3-year warranty coverage.

Take Control of Your Own Electricity
zappi uses the electricity you generate yourself to charge EVs
zappi uses the electricity you generate yourself to charge EVs.
A solar-powered EV charger allows you to use excess solar energy to power your car. To generate solar energy, you need to install solar panels (PV) on your home or workplace. However, the energy produced by the solar panels is completely free, which means you can essentially drive for free!
The light energy from the sun is called a photon. This is the most fundamental particle of all light. It is these photons in natural daylight that solar panels convert into electricity. This small bundle of electromagnetic energy is constantly in motion. Simply put, a solar panel works by causing photons—or particles of light—to collide with electrons, which dislodges them from atoms and thus generates an electric current.
Our eco-smart technology makes intelligent decisions based on the electricity you generate yourself and the energy rate plan you’ve subscribed to. This allows your myenergi devices to be optimized to use energy from the grid at the lowest possible rate per kWh.
Charging Your Vehicle Safely
Exceeded all safety standards
Safety is our top priority. Every myenergi product is designed to meet the highest possible standards of energy efficiency, but we place just as much importance on safety.
Of course, we comply with all industry safety standards, but we want to go one step further to ensure that our installers and users always have the safest possible experience. That’s why we were the first to introduce the PEN fault test, even before other manufacturers did.
Manage and monitor your energy usage
Every myenergi device is designed to be connected. This means you can monitor everything from the myenergi app in one place and adjust settings, timers, and boost functions as desired. Control your myenergi devices 24/7 from anywhere using the myenergi app.

Yes, you can use your zappi EV charger to charge your car without solar power. In that case, it simply draws power from the grid, and your car charges just like it would with a conventional electric car charger. With the added benefit that it’s ready to charge using solar power if you decide to install solar panels in the future!
After an initial investment in green technology, you'll save money on your bills in the long run by making your home more sustainable.
The time it takes to charge your EV isn't so black and white and depends on various factors, such as the vehicle, the battery size, and the type of charger. However, the average charging time for an EV is about 7 hours and 42 minutes when using a standard (non-fast) charger.
The time it takes to charge your EV using solar panels depends on several factors, such as the number of solar panels. On average, a single panel will generate about 2 kWh per day. So if you have multiple panels, the amount of power generated will increase.
The cost of charging your EV depends on several factors. If you use solar panels, you can charge your EV for free. If, on the other hand, you pay to charge your EV at a gas station, for example, they’ll set their own rate based on the fluctuating energy costs at that time. At home, it’s usually cheaper to charge your electric car overnight rather than during the day. Additionally, you can select different charging levels, which makes the cost variable.
