Myenergi Zappi 7kW EV Charger Installation & Testing

I take my hat off to whoever worked on the UI for this system. There's some nice touches such as the size of the arrows and "Hrrm" or "Smile" face in the house icon. Subtle, but it helps you interpret what's happening.

[@sandalcandal281]

10% PWM -> 6A is the minimum valid PWM signal for standard AC charging. 4.5% to 5.5% is used to indicate digital communication is to be used i.e. for DC fast charging protocols. 9.5% to 96.5% is the full valid range for J1772 PWM AC charging signalling. Values apart from two aforementioned ranges are error/inactive states.

[@gelu88]

I have to imagine you can set it to turn off charging if there is less than 10% available from solar.

[@xureality]

@@gelu88 Dave mentions near the end of the video that the Zappi goes to "Waiting for Supply" mode (stops charging) when there's not enough solar

[@6Diego1Diego9]

But what does it all mean Basil?

[@cjaycdr]

Simply put: if you set the Zappi to 100% solar, it will require at least 6A or 1.4 kW for 230v systems in order to do any charging. If there’s not enough surplus (so less than 6A available), the Zappi will stop charging. Also note that for 3-phase models the Exo mode charging is a single-phase action. So the EVSE will set to single phase in Exo+ mode charging. Mind you: even for the Eco+ mode you can go into settings and choose how much Solar versus Grid should be used for the Eco+ mode charging.

Apart from I am rapidly approaching winter in "The Old Dart" and so I may have to wait a number of months until I can make use of the Eco+ modes. The built in boost timer is great for using my suppliers overnight cheap rate tariff though and the Zappi is working like a dream for that.

[@EEVblog2]

I just have a fixed rate 24/7.

[@stevengwilliam8096]

@@EEVblog2 We have a few suppliers here that offer a night time EV specific tariff. My rates are 15.64 pence per kWh normal rate and then 5 pence per kWh between 00:30 and 04:30. But it is interesting now as the battery storage solution and payback is much more compelling if you can charge the battery during the cheap 4 hours and discharge at the other times. In fact it has got to the point, on those tariffs, it could be better value to buy a battery rather than install solar. Interesting stuff. Here is a question for you Dave. One of your roof systems use the Enphase invertors. It would be interesting to understand how they all stay in phase with each other. What are the physics of how all the micro-invertors stay in sync with the mains supply and each other?

They simply WONT fit all new builds with 3 phase. To put it simply. The grid can't handle it! Using normal 240v 32A you can charge and electric car in less than 8 hours and every single person who lives in a house spends longer than that every day sleeping.

So if your inside your house for 8 hours sleeping and your car is charging for 8 hours until its fully charged. Why will we have 3 phase at home? To dumb it down enough for you: It won't happen!

[@SupremeRuleroftheWorld]

the minium 10% is to conform to minimum you can send to the car, the protocol does not support lower then 10% so onboard chargers can fault out below that.

[@redsquirrelftw]

That's a pretty neat setup to maximize usage of solar. As a side note, a fundamentals video on how current transformers work and how to make and implement them in projects (AC and DC) would be pretty nice if it has not been done already.

[@holladiewal6812]

There is a setting within the menu where you can set the minimum "green" energy to use in eco++ mode. If you dial it up to 100% it will stop using grid energy should solar excess drop below 1.4kW (minimum charge allowed by the standard, hence the 10% minimum on the PWM). If you want to allow the zappi to keep at minimum charge with the grid import, you can then always use eco+ mode. There is actually a lot you can configure on these zappis, especially when you start having more than on CT connected, like Solar generation and even monitor input/output of a battery.

[@TonyJewell0]

That is a very cool piece of kit. Thanks for taking the time to document.

[@KeritechElectronics]

Nice tandem, looks like the manufacturer actually thought about the users who wanted to integrate the solar panels & inverter with the car charging station. I also like the heavy duty power connectors you have down there - here in the EU we've got a different standard (CEE connectors a.k.a. commando plugs & sockets) and they're also very practical, but take a lot more space.

[@EEVblog2]

These ones are pretty huge.

[@frollard]

I wonder how much of a pain it would be to implement hvdc 'fast' charging from a solar charge controller - since it's already natively DC the boost/buck is surely easier to dc than an ac inverter to ac onboard charger.

[@han5vk]

Zappi is a great fucking name.

[@M0LHA]

Ah that's surprising, I wasn't expecting to see a UK myEnergi EVSE appear in aus! That's a very well travelled charger ;) I've had gen one for about four years now, it's been pretty rock solid - only real issue I had was the UV damaged the front panel. There is one thing you need to keep on top of, keeping the firmware up to date. If you don't keep both the hub and the zappi (and any other accessories up to date) you risk your EVSE becoming incompatible with the myEnergi apis - this happened to me and I had to get a warranty replacement. This is probably OK for your audience, but I could imagine joe six pack just leaving it as stock only to find the app stops working a few years down the line. In theory easily fixed with an auto update feature. Only other comment is why did they go wit 868mhz RF for comms rather than just using good old fashioned WIFI? seems like an extra hurdle to have a dedicated hub rather than using tried and true wifi?

[@EEVblog2]

I don't have a hub, so should be no reason to update the firmware for a standalone unit.

[@EEVblog2]

WiFi uses too much power, so you wouldn't be able to use energy harvesting to power the Harvi

It's small, 3-phase 22 kW, has built-in free 4G connection (plus wifi too) and it's also amongst the cheaper wall boxes. Made in Norway I think. Very happy with it, especially since it enables "smart charging" when prices are low - usually during nighttime.

10% is the minimum defined in the standard and is used by Tesla to identify a SuperCharger (5% D/C). This tells a Tesla it's connected to a SuperCharger and will switch to their digital protocol to identify the car for billing.

The Type 2 protocol was developed by German company Mennekes and is used by all EV (or Type 1, different connector, same protocol) incl. Tesla. The SuC billing is done by the car's MCU over 3G or 4G networks and not by the SuC. Non Teslas on SuC do the billing via smart phone and Tesla app (where available).

I'm not understanding how the electricity is being selected from grid/solar.

[@thunderb00m]

If I had to guess this is just connected to the house supply and then senses the current from the solar supply and the grid supply to the main junction box. Then switches on or off based on those sensor value. It's constantly readjusting energy out to reduce grid load. The same could probably work for a heater or any other appliance I suppose, just turn it off when theres shade, turn it on there's sun. Makes sense ?

[@redsquirrelftw]

From my understanding he has grid tie system so technically it's all coming from the house's electrical grid connected system like it normally would but it tracks how much power that the solar is producing and would be putting into the grid and tries to match it so that the power is going towards charging instead.

[@_BangDroid_]

@@redsquirrelftw That makes sense Red

I think the 3 phase (5 pin) might be slightly more common here, but the electrician said he install's a ton of the single phase ones in homes, as 3 phase isn't really a thing here in homes. Some EV owners install a 5 pin 3 phases anyway even if they only have a single phase so they can take their EVSE with them and use industrial 3 phase outlets.

[@jensageholm8774]

I do not know where you live but the Danish code says that one consumer can never be more than 16A single-phase (maybe only in a domestic setting?). If you need more you need to go to 3-phase. I also applies to solar inverter that produces electricity. The old incentive program in Denmark allowed for max. 6 kW systems - a lot of people installed 2x 3 kW inverters for that reason. My parents installed a 3,6 kW inverter with 4 kW panels connected - the former to stay within the 16A max.

Another post (again, forever ago, pound of salt) someone mentioned that li-ion chemistry doesn't like obscenely low trickle charging because .

On one hand this is cool to charge your car from solar only. On other, it is not very practical for your average user. If you need to go to work every day, car will never be at home during the day.
