zappi GLO EV charger: Smart 7kW EV charging and installation.

Meet the latest bright spark in the myenergi zappi family: the zappi GLO. It takes everything people love about the original zappi, the solar smarts, the British engineering, and packs it into a sleek, screenless design that looks right at home on modern driveways.

If you want a charger that blends in, works seamlessly with your app, and is ready for a solar future (even if you don't have panels yet), the GLO is ready to go.

 Fitting the zappi GLO charger into your space.

The zappi GLO is a "tethered" unit, meaning the cable is permanently attached. This makes daily charging faster (no hunting for cables in the boot), but it means placement is key.

zappi GLO charger dimensions and mounting.

The GLO is taller and slimmer than many boxy chargers, giving it a modern profile.

• The unit: Height: 350mm (H) x 170mm (W) x 160mm (D

• Mounting height: Ideally installed 0.75m – 1.2m from the ground.

• Cable length: 6.5m

Because it’s only 170mm wide, it fits perfectly on narrow pillars or slim sections of wall between garage doors. Since it doesn’t have a screen to read, you don’t need to mount it at perfect eye level, just at a height that’s comfortable for grabbing the plug (usually 1.2m from the ground).

Before you buy, do a "mock park" in your driveway.

1. Park exactly how you usually do (reverse in or drive in).

2. Locate the port: Where is your car’s charging flap?

3. The string test: Use a 6.5m piece of string (or a tape measure) from your proposed wall spot to the car. Does it reach easily without being pulled tight?

4. The trip hazard: Ensure the cable doesn't drape across a walkway or pavement.

5. Check the signal: The GLO relies on Wi-Fi (2.4GHz) or Bluetooth. Check your phone has a decent Wi-Fi signal at the install spot.

6. Check the environment: If your wall is totally exposed to the elements (sea spray, driving rain), the GLO is a great choice thanks to its industrial-grade weatherproofing.

Installing the Zappi GLO charger: What to expect.

Getting a Zappi GLO installed is quicker and easier than ever, thanks to some clever software updates.

Everyday usability: Charging, access control, and app experience.

The Zappi GLO is "screenless," which means your phone is the dashboard.

Screenless, app-first control.

The front of the unit is clean and button-free. You use the myenergi app to set schedules, check costs, and divert solar power.

The benefit: The unit looks tidier and is less tempting for vandals. Plus, you can control it from the sofa.

The trade-off: You need your phone handy to change settings (though you can just plug in and charge instantly without it).

Tap-to-Charge access key (RFID).

Want to track which family member is charging?The GLO comes with an RFID card. You simply tap the card on the front of the unit to unlock it and start charging.

Load balancing (optional feature).

If you have a busy home (electric showers, heat pumps, induction hobs), the installer can fit a CT Clamp (sensor) .This acts like a traffic warden for your electricity. If your house is using too much power, the Zappi GLO automatically turns down the car charging speed to prevent your main fuse from blowing.

LED illumination confidence.

Just because it has no screen doesn't mean it's silent. The "sun" logo on the front lights up to tell you what's happening:

• Pink: Connected.

• Green: Charging (100% green).

• White: Charging (from grid).

• Blue: Charge complete.

• Red: Problem/fault.

Cable entry options and routing of the zappi GLO.

The GLO is designed to be installer-friendly, which usually means a neater finish for you.

• Cable entry: Power can enter from the rear, bottom, or sides.

• Flexibility: It handles cable sizes up to 10mm², making it suitable even if your charger is located a long distance from your fuse box.

Choosing the right mounting surface for your zappi GLO.

Your installer will look for the ideal mounting spot.

• Best surfaces: Brick, block, or concrete.

• Post mounting: zappi makes a dedicated pedestal if you don't have a suitable wall.

• Checks: Your installer will check the wall is strong enough to hold the 4kg weight plus the drag of the cable being pulled.
