What the myenergi zappi GLO is

myenergi zappi GLO 7kW Smart EV Charger 6.5m Tethered Type 2 is a compact single-phase EV charger designed around app-first control and automated smart charging. The exact product variant here is the tethered 7kW model with a 6.5m Type 2 cable. That matters because the cable format and control approach are central to how zappi GLO is meant to be used. Unlike a charger with a full on-unit display and menu system, zappi GLO is intentionally screen-free. myenergi positions it as a smaller, cleaner charger where most setup, control and monitoring happen through the myenergi app.

For buyers, that changes the ownership experience in a useful way. Instead of treating the charger as a box you configure manually every time you want to change behaviour, zappi GLO is designed to automate more of that process, especially around time-of-use tariffs and renewable energy use. That makes it particularly relevant for homes that want their EV charging to work as part of a wider home energy strategy.

Who it suits

zappi GLO suits single-phase homes that want 7kW tethered charging with a strong smart-charging feature set but do not want a large display-led wallbox. It is especially relevant for households with solar PV, homes using off-peak or smart energy tariffs, and shared driveways where some form of charger access control is desirable. It can also suit semi-commercial or managed residential settings where a compact charger with RFID access fits better than a more domestic plug-and-go unit.

The tethered 6.5m cable is a meaningful part of the product’s fit. It makes everyday use simpler because the lead is always attached and ready, while the 6.5m length gives enough reach for many UK driveway layouts without needing a separate cable from the vehicle each time.

Key features and practical benefits

• 7kW single-phase charging.
• 6.5m tethered Type 2 cable.
• Screen-free design managed through the myenergi app.
• Eco, Eco+ and Fast charging behaviour.
• Compatible with solar panels, battery systems and smart tariffs.
• RFID tap-to-charge support for up to 126 users.
• WiFi, Bluetooth and local radio communication.
• IP65 protection and integrated 6mA DC fault protection.
• 3 year standard warranty.

The biggest buyer benefit is intelligent automation. myenergi explicitly positions zappi GLO around tariff integration, solar compatibility and dynamic energy management. That means the charger can adapt charging sessions around lower-cost electricity periods or surplus generation instead of simply drawing full power whenever the cable is plugged in. For households that charge regularly, those features can make a meaningful difference to running costs over time.

The second key benefit is controlled access without added complexity. RFID support allows the charger to be secured in shared settings, and the product page states support for up to 126 users with individual identification. That gives zappi GLO more flexibility than a simple single-user home charger, especially on driveways where use may need to be limited or tracked.

Technical details that matter in practice

myenergi’s current product page states that zappi GLO delivers 7kW of single-phase charging through a 6.5m tethered Type 2 cable. The same page confirms a screen-free design managed through the myenergi app, RFID access, WiFi, Bluetooth and local radio communication, plus an IP65 rating and integrated 6mA DC fault protection. The compact physical size is listed at 350mm x 170mm, which helps explain why the unit is positioned as a discreet alternative to larger display-based chargers.

The product page and support material also confirm the access-control side. zappi GLO supports RFID tap-to-charge and up to 126 users, while myenergi’s support documentation notes that one RFID card is supplied in the box and that additional cards or fobs can be managed through the myaccount dashboard. That is a practical difference from chargers that only provide phone-based control.

Tariff and solar integration are also clearly stated by myenergi. The zappi GLO page confirms compatibility with smart and off-peak tariffs, including Intelligent Octopus, and with solar panels and battery systems. That makes the charger more useful in homes that are already thinking about whole-property energy management rather than isolated EV charging.

Installation and fitment considerations

zappi GLO is intended for single-phase wall mounting indoors or outdoors. The IP65 rating and impact-resistant construction make it suitable for exposed residential positions when installed correctly. Because it is a tethered charger, the 6.5m cable length should be matched to the likely parking position of the vehicle, but for many homes it offers a good balance of reach and neatness.

The screen-free design also affects installation handover. Instead of teaching the user to navigate an on-unit display, the installer commissions the charger and hands over control through the myenergi app and RFID setup. That can simplify the physical design of the product while still keeping the smart feature set intact.

For useful related browsing, it pairs naturally with the broader myenergi ecosystem, residential solar PV systems, the home battery category and EV charger installation.

Why this exact variant may be the right choice

zappi GLO is the right myenergi charger when the property is single-phase and the buyer wants a compact tethered unit with smart automation and access control. Compared with a more traditional display-led charger, it gives a cleaner physical design and app-based control. Compared with a simpler tethered wallbox, it adds solar compatibility, tariff integration and RFID user management.

That combination is what makes the product commercially useful. It is not just another 7kW charger with a cable. It is a charger designed to fit into a wider home energy setup while also making daily charging straightforward and secure.
