Zappi vs Ohme EV Charger in Walsall

Zappi and Ohme are two of the most popular home EV chargers in the UK, and both are good choices. Both are smart chargers, both charge at the usual home rate of around 7kW on a standard supply, and both let you schedule charging from an app. The real difference is what each is best at.

Zappi, made by myenergi, is best known for working with solar panels. It can charge your car using spare solar power that would otherwise go back to the grid, which makes it popular with homes that already have panels or plan to add them. Ohme is best known for working closely with smart energy tariffs, adjusting charging to the cheapest times and fitting neatly into the cars and tariffs it supports.

So the simple guide is: if you have solar panels, or want to get them, Zappi is often the natural choice. If you are on, or planning to switch to, a smart EV tariff and do not have solar, Ohme is often the neater fit. Around Walsall, Bloxwich and Pleck we fit both, and we will ask about your supply, your tariff and your parking before recommending one.
