Solar-aware EV charging for Pembury
Is the myenergi Zappi Right for Your Property?
Zappi is designed for drivers who want a capable everyday home charger with particularly strong support for solar generation. It can charge entirely from the grid, combine grid electricity with surplus renewable energy, or prioritise available solar power according to the selected charging mode.
Where Zappi Works Particularly Well
Zappi is a strong option for a Pembury home with existing solar panels or plans to add them later. It is also suitable for households without solar because its scheduling and monitoring features allow it to operate as a conventional smart charger.
- Homes with solar PV or battery storage
- Drivers who want tethered or untethered choice
- Households using time-of-use electricity tariffs
- Properties requiring dynamic load management
- Drivers wanting energy information through the myenergi app
Points to Consider Before Choosing It
Zappi offers more energy-management controls than some simpler chargers, so drivers wanting only a compact plug-and-charge unit may prefer an alternative. The final recommendation should take account of the property, vehicle, energy system and preferred way of charging.
- The standard home installation is normally the 7kW single-phase model
- 22kW charging requires a suitable three-phase supply and compatible vehicle
- Solar charging depends on available surplus generation
- The tethered unit has a permanently attached Type 2 cable
- The charger position must suit the parking and cable route
Three ways to manage charging
How Zappi Charging Modes Work
The Zappi’s FAST, ECO and ECO+ modes allow the driver to choose between maximum available charging speed and greater use of locally generated renewable energy.
The charger monitors power flows at the property using current-transformer sensors. Correct specification and positioning of those sensors is important when solar panels, batteries or more complex electrical arrangements are involved.
Current product information
Zappi Features and Technical Details
For most Pembury houses, a 7kW single-phase Zappi will be the relevant version. A 22kW unit is also available, but the achievable speed depends on the property supply and the vehicle’s onboard AC charging capability.
Zappi can be ordered as a tethered charger with an integrated Type 2 cable or as an untethered unit with a Type 2 locking socket. The untethered version uses a separate compatible charging cable.
Product details are based on published myenergi information. Specifications should still be confirmed for the exact model included in the installer’s quotation.

Indicative equipment and installation cost
How Much Does Zappi Installation Cost in Pembury?
A typical installed price for a Zappi is approximately £1,250–£1,500. This is a guide rather than a fixed quotation because cable routing, the condition of the electrical installation and renewable-energy integration can alter the work required.
Standard Installation
Guide: £1,250–£1,500Usually based on a suitable existing supply, reasonable cable route and standard mounting position. The precise charger version and inclusions must be confirmed in writing.
Possible Additional Work
Long cable runs, trenching, difficult wall construction, consumer-unit changes, earthing work or complex solar and battery arrangements can increase the total.
Available Grants
Eligible renters, flat owners, landlords and workplaces may qualify for support of up to £500 under current schemes. Check our EV charger grants guide before relying on funding.
Approximate 7kW home charging times
How Long Will a Zappi Take to Charge an EV?
The time depends on usable battery capacity, starting charge level, vehicle limitations and power available at the charger. The examples below show simple theoretical 0–100% estimates at 7kW; real charging may take longer.
| Usable battery size | Approximate time at 7kW | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 40kWh | About 5 hours 45 minutes | Smaller electric cars |
| 60kWh | About 8 hours 35 minutes | Medium-sized EVs |
| 80kWh | About 11 hours 25 minutes | Larger battery vehicles |
| 100kWh | About 14 hours 20 minutes | Large premium EVs |
A car that returns home with charge remaining will require less time. Vehicle charging curves, temperature and household load management can also affect the actual rate.

Planning a Pembury installation
What the Installer Will Need to Assess
Pembury contains a mixture of established houses, newer developments and properties with detached garages or longer driveways. The physical distance between the consumer unit and parking space can have as much influence on the quotation as the charger itself.
For solar integration, the installer should understand how the generation system, any home battery and the grid connection are arranged. Photographs of the consumer unit, electricity meter, parking position and intended cable route can help with an initial assessment.

Zappi installation questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can Zappi charge an EV when a home does not have solar panels?
Yes. Zappi can work as a conventional grid-connected smart charger. FAST mode provides the maximum permitted charging rate, while scheduling can be used to target selected off-peak periods. Solar generation is an additional capability rather than an installation requirement.
What is the difference between Zappi ECO and ECO+?
ECO mode adjusts the charging rate and can use both surplus renewable generation and some grid electricity. ECO+ is intended to place greater priority on surplus generation and may pause charging when the available renewable power falls below the required level. Settings should be chosen according to the driver’s energy and departure requirements.
Should I choose a tethered or untethered Zappi?
The tethered model keeps its Type 2 cable attached, making regular charging quick and convenient. The untethered version has a locking Type 2 socket and produces a cleaner appearance when the separate cable is stored away. Consider cable reach, storage and everyday convenience.
Can I have a 22kW Zappi installed at home?
A 22kW Zappi requires a suitable three-phase electrical supply, and the vehicle must support the relevant AC charging rate to benefit fully. Many UK homes have single-phase supplies and therefore use the 7kW version. The installer must assess the property supply before recommending 22kW equipment.
Does Zappi work with a home battery?
Zappi can operate alongside battery storage, but the system needs to be configured with an understanding of the battery, solar inverter, sensors and desired energy priorities. Discuss the existing equipment with the installer so that the monitoring and charging behaviour can be planned correctly.
How much is Zappi installation in Pembury?
A typical guide is approximately £1,250–£1,500, although the final price depends on the charger version, cable route, electrical equipment, parking position, load management and any solar or battery integration. Only a written quotation for the individual property can confirm the cost.
Can a renter or flat owner receive an EV charger grant?
Eligible renters and people who own and live in a flat may receive up to 75% of qualifying purchase and installation costs, capped at £500 under the current scheme. Conditions apply, including parking and vehicle requirements, and schemes may change. Confirm current eligibility before ordering equipment.
Who completes the Zappi installation?
