Zappi smart EV charger | Fully Charged 

I've tried various wind jammers and they often struggle with strongish wind. The key thing here is they must be using lav mics (with wind shields).

Exactly, through the entire ooakney series

I'm going to chip in, I was impressed by the sound vs wind as well!

I thought the same. Damn fine effort not having wind noise.

Instablaster...

Well battery's just takes what they can get :), this just active current limits charging to the car, you could charge at a very low rate (limited by charger eff. and self power consumption) as long as you provide just more then the charger and other electronics takes

Zappi should peek into blockchain power projects and help drive individual control and community collaborative solutions that such decentralized network techs may grow into... check out Solarcoin for example..

Thank you for the kind comments. You're absolutely right, truly heart warming the support Robert and his lovely team have shown, it's been an amazing boost for the team.

As awesome as the current version is. There is so much more potential it would blow our minds if we could predict all the possibilities merphy's law has in store. I can only imagine a few game changers.

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

joshua smith Treat yourself! Amazing product. I'm jealous that you've seen every episode!!

Faruk Carushi what's the price difference between what they pay you at peak time and what you pay them at off peak? If the former is lower than the latter you would use whatever you can of what you generate.

Diabolos1 absolutely.

Also would be great to set it to Schedule completion at a specific time, this will mean that battery will spend less time at 100% and will be warmed up so will not need to waste any energy pre heating in cold weather. 👍⚡️⚡️🚗☀️☀️ Can't wait to get one!

Yes it already has this functionality :)

Jordan Brompton Fantastic!!! You've thought of everything!!!

Jordan Brompton it's Jordan Gardiner in the video is everyone named Jordan in the Orkney islands?

Thank you very much.

Thank you :)

While a great product, there is nothing 'novel' about it. I guess with the way patents work anything can be patented, including this comment, but, realistically they're not doing anything revolutionary. To be clear, it looks like a great product, it's just not something that should be seen as an invention that needs IP protection. What they really need to do is provide a solid product with great service, and it looks like they've got at least the product side in order.

Maybe not revolutionary but I've not heard of it before. Do you know of any other examples of other car chargers that let you channel your own green energy straight to the car? ?

Zen Zen seems novel. Haven't seen this before, as they mention in the video. It is just actively adjusting the pwm (available current) on the car side, which is just a spec of the charging standard. Depending on how each vehicle follows the rules results may be varied and "interesting". We should expect most vehicles to be spot on. So that is not their invention, nor difficult, could cost a buck to add a "knob" to any evse charger. Now tracking a few power supplies and sinks and doing some math to drive the charger signal. That may or may not be novel enough, not my field of expertise, I lean heavy towards open IP practices. Their charger is comparable cost and looks like a simple, robust, extendable (was firmware updated), cleanly finished product. Hope they accounted for ramping up production.. ... I really want to give this a try now with my openevse. Not looking to use commercially, buy i would feel obligated to license the tech from zappi if I were.

A few years ago an Irish Company seemed to have a patent on the concept of using excess solar power to heat water and gave a link to their patent which I read and was appalled because they seemed to have patented the concept not an innovative piece of new technology. It was so wide ranging that it would have included car battery charging. I hope that this nonsense was challenged.

Tesla should incorporate their ideas into its wall charger and pay them enough so that they can retire if they wish.

SimonHN Would love to come and install for you!!!

Hey Simon. Were you able to get it to work in Denmark with 3 phase?

Costa S I'm purchasing one anyway! lol can't wait!

Bill Kerr Not really, install the solar panels on a rack beyond the shade trees mounted on a steel or wooden frame and simply run the cables underground to the house ideally with a power wall 2 installed. For a 24 hour installation add a small wind turbine to provide power at night. Cheers!

Ohhhh thank you very much.

Powered microphone with a wind-dampener (a pom-pom or sock) and background cancellation. I see chest-mounted mics. It actually gets the best sound right from your chest, breast-bone.

Izotope rx7 or rx6 (old). Amazing software! living and working on a island to, I use it daily

Jason Depenbrock couldn't hurt. Zappy has a great example of really using the evse protocol features. A simple animation would help to understand evse in general, yes.

Fully Charged does have an episode, "Britwind" I think, about smaller wind turbines.

Thank you :)

Hey, well spotted, the zappi in the early shots was a prototype and playing up a little on the day of filming (just my luck) When in eco+ mode this wont happen.

Sweet as, When i get my electric car down in Aus I'll be getting one for sure. Great product.

Thank you :)

Thank you :)

1981therealfury if you have j1772 on an ebike... PROPS!! if you don't, use this charger as an excuse to do it.. ;)

That's correct, there's also the option for limiting the maximum house consumption even in fast mode.

thanks captain obvious!
