Does anyone have any opinions or recommendatons for a good home EV charger?

For now, we are charging just 1 car (peugeot) but will likely be charging 2 in the next couple of years. Havin said that i think we could alternte them rather than charging both at same time.

Dont think we need super fast charge but at minimum 7kws.

Not sure what other info i need to give.

Thanks
 
Must more than 7.4kW would likely require an expensive upgrade to your electricity supply, most of the 22kW ones require a 3-phase supply I believe.

I have a Zappi that failed within ~6 months, replaced FOC under warranty. Works well other than that.
 
If you have solar panels or need to load balance (for example you have electric showers or electric heating) then something like the Zappi is the way to go. If you don’t need these features then there are cheaper options that are closer to a glorified outdoor socket.

Hello,

I also have solar panels and had a Zappi installed, to partner with the panels and inverter.

I think there are a couple of other chargers that will work with solar panels and an inverter, but for me, the Zappi seemed to be very well established and also linked into my WiFi (while I think the rival relied on 4G, from memory).

Supply and installation cost €1,600, before deduction of the €300 SEAI Grant (so €1,300 net).
