The world’s first solar electric car charger
zappi is a revolutionary solar electric car charger that combines the use of renewable energies with modern technology.
How long does an electric car take to charge?
This depends on the size of the vehicle battery in kW and the rate of the charge in kWh. Based on an average 54kWh battery, a 50kWh public charger would take around 64 minutes to achieve a full 100% charge, whereas a typical 7kWh home charger would take around 7hrs 42 minutes. Find out more about the details behind how long it takes to charge an electric car.
How much does it cost to charge an electric car?
Based on 54kWh, the average cost to fully charge an electric car from empty to full is around €9.10 whilst the average monthly cost to keep an EV charged would be around €36.00. This data is based on fully charging your EV once per week at home. Another advantage is that EV’s are also exempt from paying Road Tax and significantly cheaper to maintain. Read our full guide about the cost of charging an electric car.
You can now charge your electric car, not only with standard charging modes hooked up to the grid but also with 100% green energy generated from your solar panels (PV) or wind generators. This makes zappi the future of green energy and a one-of-a-kind electric car charger for you to own. Designed to be the most useful and efficient tool for electric vehicle owners, the zappi is easy to install and incredibly user friendly.
It’s the first-ever electric car charger of its kind. Paired with the myenergi hub and app, you can set timers to utilise economy tariffs, use the boost function, create notifications for battery status, and so much more!
myenergi has revolutionised the world of electric car charging by joining together cutting-edge technologies and innovative design to create the most versatile, attractive and economical electric vehicle charging service on the market. Better yet, zappi’s are available on electric car charging grants available right across Ireland.
No solar panels?
No problem
If you don’t have a solar panel system (PV), zappi can still operate like an ordinary electric car charging point, importing energy from the grid. You can always add a solar power or wind system later – if you wish! Charge your EV from your PV!

Why are we Ireland’s #1 electric car charger?
Set timers
At certain hours ‘time of use energy tariffs’ are significantly cheaper. With zappi, you can use the ‘boost timer’ option to start charging at times with the lowest rates. It’s a cost-saving charging alarm clock for your electric car!
No earth rod
zappi is the only electric car charger with built-in PEN fault technology. It’s the safest choice for a car charger, eliminating the need to install additional earth rods means no extra costs & an easy install. Explore why are Earth Rods Important.
Solar charging
zappi works in harmony with your solar panels (PV) or wind generation, meaning you can charge your car using green energy for free. If you haven’t got a renewable energy source at home, zappi works just like any other EV charger in ‘fast mode’.
Remote access
The myenergi app & hub allow you to access your devices from anywhere in the world! Visual graphs allow you to monitor your import/export information all in one place.
Pincode protected
A 5 digit pin code is a security feature integrated into this smart electric car charging point, should you wish to use it. It prevents people from changing your settings, or using your electric car charger without permission or tampering.
