Home charge points (purchase/problems/questions) (See mod note post#1)

Was trying to work out how to set the timer for the Zappi coming straight from the grid without any solar panels and it wasn’t explained very well in the manual.

when you set your time under “Boost timer” you need to set it to Eco ++ at the bottom centre of the screen. This means that, once you plug the charger in it doesn’t start straight away, which it does on “Fast”.

once it’s set like this, the Zappi goes a pink colour and once the timer starts it switches to white. Only drawback I can see is that if you want to charge outside the timer you need to switch from “Evo++” to “Fast”

hope this helps someone and if there's something I missing, please let me know.

thanks for the help on here again

I did try that however that’s where I couldn’t work out how to set the Zappi. If it’s set to “Fast” as soon as I plug it into the car it starts charging and ignores the timer. There are other lock/unlock instructions on the Zappi but I couldn’t make head nor tail of them.

10 to 12 weeks I believe.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried various combinations of setting the car timer to start with the Zappi but as soon as I plug in the Zappi it starts charging. I can understand the logic if there are solar panels involved. As it is, it works, but I do have to switch from “Eco++” to “Fast” on the Zappi if I want it to charge outside of the timer hours. That said I don’t have the wifi option which might make it easier than setting it on the actual device.

Hi folks,

Wondering what my cheapest option is for a dumb charger with load balancing for installation at my folks place? Be nice tbe able to charge overnight the few times we visit

Cheers,

Mick

hey folks - looking at an eo mini pro 2 for installing at my parents.. will only be used maybe ten times a year when we visit. Reading up and it needs a ct clamp for load balancing.. also see pen fault detection required? will be getting a local electrician to fit so hopefully they know the score - does the pen fault detection add much cost?

with granny charging its 2 days to fill a 77kw battery? be just handy to 'fill up' overnight if possible.. is there any charger that has load balancing build in? and pent fault etc which is a basic wall socket? i won't mind using my vw supplied cable the odd time its used.. dont need apps or anything like that

anything in the 300 euro range that would work and just be a socket? im looking at an eo pro mini 2 on adverts but im thinking it will need the ct clamp for load balancing and also pen fault protection? if there's an earth rod near the installation is pen fault protection required? im not going fitting this myself.. it will be done by an electrician just asking re potential build up costs

Dublin/Sligo... if its not required that great

Yet another acronym, what is pen fault?

Hi folks,

I picked up an eo mini pro 2 from adverts. It's in unused condition. Has cable and safety switch. Two things trying to figure out:

1) CT clamp to use/source for load balancing. Seems to be place in Dublin selling them. Anywhere else they can be sourced?

2) installer app configuration. Seems like only registered eo installers can use the app? I'll be getting a local electrician close to my parents house to fit. Will there be issues with configuration? Want to use clamp for load balancing but apart from that nothing extra required. Generally not awesome wifi around the house. Can set up a hotspot if needs be. Do you need to use internet with it?

Cheers,

Mick

Does anyone know how long it takes for grant to be paid? Spoke to them on phone as docs were late being sent which they said was no issue but that was 3 weeks ago and not a peep since?

I would allow up to 10 weeks (Took us that long at start of pandemic), but hopefully will come quicker..

Out of interest, do you get some kind of a notification when the payment is made? or just a case of seeing when it hits your bank account? No money yet here either, submitted start of April.
