Myenergi zappi
Compatible with solar
- Solar and battery integration: harness the sun’s power to charge your EV, even at night time to reduce your carbon footprint and energy bills.
- Dynamic charging: Zappi has 4 modes, so you can take full advantage of solar smart features, or charge your car when grid energy is greenest and cheapest to maximise your cash savings.
- No phone signal? No problem: zappi doesn’t require 3G/4G to work. You’ll just need a decent Wifi connection to get charging.
- White and black options available
- Tethered with a 6.5m charging cable
Hypervolt Home 3 Pro
Best for design – great for solar
- Solar and battery integration: Four charging modes to suit the weather and your schedule, including Super Eco mode, the cleanest way to charge harnessing the sun.
- Dynamic charging: The Hypervolt works seamlessly with any energy tariff, using smart technology to charge your vehicle when electricity is cheaper and greener!
- Personalised features: Track how much power you’re generating, choose your own charging periods and lock/unlock your charger remotely.
- Space grey and black options available
- Tethered with a choice of 5m or 10m charging cable
Ohme Home Pro
Most popular
Dynamic charging: Our Ohme chargers work seamlessly with any energy tariff, using smart technology to charge your vehicle when electricity is cheaper and greener — just like the zappi!
Solar compatibility: If you’re looking to use solar power to charge your car, you’re in luck. But the Home Pro isn’t suitable if you have battery storage too, (especially on IO Go).
Take the controls: fit with the largest LCD screen of all of our chargers, you can set the controls with even more ease.
Tethered with a choice of 5 or 8m charging cable so you can tailor your charger to your home.
Ohme ePod
Most compact
More affordable, but no less powerful: Ohme ePod comes with all of the same dynamic charging abilities as its larger sibling, the Home Pro, but without the LCD screen.
Compact and untethered, with potential fit in a smaller area, the ePod comes without a charging cable, making it suitable for both Type 1 and Type 2 electric vehicles.
* Always check on Octopus website what chargers are compatible.
