    Hi John (1) "Does it need to be on Eco+ or Eco?" - It needs to be in ECO+ (2) "car's schedule" You can use the Cars to schedule the charge, in that case set the Zappi to FAST You can also set the car to stop charging at a particular percent state of charge - if you don't do more than 100 in a...

    Anyone use a Zappi with Zappi Scheduled charging

    Rental MG 5, how to set up charging management etc please.

    . Hi @bimbamboodle if you have a home charger for your ZS EV then you need to use that for 'scheduled' charging on a pre-face lift (2021/2022) 5 EV. If you have to use a 13amp granny charger then you can I suppose place a 'timer' on the plug socket to get some sort of 'scheduling'. On a rental...

    Choosing a home charger!

    Hi @AndyNWuk and @johnb80 I was down to choosing between the OHME Home Pro and the Zappi as they both have screens and on unit setting (without using any app). The OHME is a 'sealed' unit and I noticed in their small print that the sim card was free for 3 years. I contacted them to see what...

    Question re Equalisation

    OK so we agree that the car doesn't tell us when it has completed an equalisation or balancing of the battery cells. So do we trust that it has? I can only speak for my zappi but our home chargers are suppose to be smart and record everything it does. If I look at the myeneri 'energy usage of...

    Home charger - what do you use?

    Dear GuyMC I was tossing up between Ohme Home Pro and zappi because of the interactive screen displays... What put me off the Ohme was when I read the details about the 'free 3 year sim card' and warranty. I contacted them to ask, with it being a sealed unit, what would happen after the 'free'...

    Where do you have the home wall charger located?

    @1MGEVUSER and others watching.. Good question, I thought about it a lot while 'organising' my installation... I would say to anyone... if you can get it in the garage and charge with the door closed... Then go for it.. More secure, no flashing lights attracting unwanted attention in the dead...

    @Les burrows Your post above is a really good description of the three basic modes of the zappi - It would certainly have helped me when I was doing my research into which charger to purchase. One thing I would also mention is that the amount of energy the zappi takes from solar (or other...
