    Good to see you scoring the amour wire with a junior hacksaw and then wanging them free - just as I was taught 50+ years ago! If you are using a brass compression gland then just 'wind' the inner sheath at a slight angle in the direction of the 'twist' and the taper part then just slides in. Easy. I used to be able to do these with my eyes shut, I did so many!

    I’d recommend not placing those grub screws on the paving slabs under your work area, particularly when near pebbles. One inadvertent flick with the cable and those screws could disappear instantly and be very hard to find. I speak from experience. I temporarily store small components in a dedicated screw cap container to keep the safe and easy to find later when required.

    Are there any concerns about having the charger cable dangling rather than plugged into a holder like the Zappi does? Thinking of things like sea air corrosion etc, as we live 1 road back from the seafront in Blackpool so get the prevailing westerly winds blowing in off the Irish Sea. Although the front of the house is facing away from the sea, the windows do still get covered in sea spray during stormy weather.

    "Is this the future of electric charging?" No. For three reasons: 1) Any external appliance that needs a fan (with its entry and exit holes, what with insects, dust and other problems), is doomed to failure; 2) Any external appliance that uses an off-the-shelf Raspberry Pi (not designed for the external environment), is doomed to failure; 3) Any OS-driven device (like the Raspberry Pi) is a security nightmare, able to be easily hacked. And with WiFi doubly so... All right, with #3 above there are many (many) mitigations which would ameliorate this. But so many vendors use an out-of-the-box distro with no thought to security that I fear they've done the same thing. And even if they try, the attempt is often a Band-Aid rather than a proper security solution. I'll also say: if they're new, they don't have many customers, so of course their customer service is responsive. Wait until they get a million customers... Finally: I, personally, simply cannot use this charger. My charge point is two floors below me in the underground car space for my apartment. It gets zero Internet. It certainly can't connect to my home Internet with WiFi or hardwired Ethernet, and it's a cellphone blackspot. All of your touted advanced features are useless (much as I'd love to run a rave down there?) Oh, and if it makes sparks it's either high voltage or (very) high current. Low voltage cannot spark unless the current is abnormally high (in which case the metal itself is melting...)

In our whole career of many thousands of chargers, do you know we have only ever replaced one that actually failed? And that was because of a loose connector on a part we buy off the shelf. Sure there's room for much better, but it doesn't mean things are flimsy, they are in fact some of the best around by a country mile. There are other products even further along their vertical integration cycle no doubt(1 or 2 of them), but that won't be true for very long!

    How does it compare to the zappi? Does the overvoltage have a ct for solar also like the zappi. I like to be able to monitor my charge rate and have the ability to programme to only charge from solar. Also if you have solar does the unit deduct the cost of the solar supply or does it simply just give a charge value not taking into account solar supply?

    Hey Jordan. Get video and nice looking product. At 17:50 you mention setting your tariff rate. I am struggling with chargers that allow a schedule to be set for time of day charging say Octopus Go from 00:30 to 04:30 but only allow one tariff to be entered 5p for this time. However if charged outside this time can only refer to the lower rate even if the rate is 15p. It’s will give an inaccurate indication of charging costs albeit kWh might be correct. Does this charger or others around know allow rates to be applied to different schedules?

    Yes @KeithWilson, you can set the rate based on a time of day you'd like to use for it, and you can set as many rates as you like! Soon we will release automated support for Octopus Go, which means you no longer need to do anything.

    I'd be worried about there being a Raspberry Pi inside. Using an off the shelf commercial board gives the appearance of a prototype rather than a full blown commercial one. The Pi already has known overheating issues in regular use let alone in an outdoor unit. The other problem is using an SD card for the operating system. The SD card will wear out and in less than 5 years I would expect there to be a surge of failures related to that. Speaking as a professional firmware consultant I would have recommended using the industrial compute module 3 or 4 or, even better, to use something like a Beaglebone derived design that can be integrated directly onto the main board and use higher temperature spec components.

    I know this is a year down the line but my Zappi has failed, annoyingly 6 months after the warranty ended. My energi don’t want to know. In terms of installing, if I got one of these, given I have a Zappi in place at the moment is it safe to assume that fitting a hypervolt would be easier? I’m guessing that all the gubbins for the Zappi already being in place would help?

    This thing sounds like a really bad idea... that RasPi has a rather high base power consumption already (somewhere around 10W), so the fan will have to run even in our colder climates, which costs money, is a huge invitation for moisture buildup and for insects/ants/.. nesting inside. For an outdoors device you'd normally want IP54 or better. This thing will need cleaning out and checking for corrosion several times a year (except if you want to replace it regularly..) But hey, it's got a ton of LEDs, so it has to be good.. (and I'm not even getting started about this being cloud connected and the vendor having access to my charging data and possibly others, since the RasPi becomes a regular part of your home network and can be used and abused for anything) Also, an EV charger should not need OTA capability, as there are no regular changes to the charging standards. Updating the firmware on a charger should be a once-every-few-years thing if it doesn't work right when you buy a new car, but that's all. Doing those updates manually via bluetooth is perfectly fine. This thing has a lot of shiny but useless features on its advertising brochure, but fails at the most basic requirements.

    Appreciate your comments! We are IP54 rated, and now going for full IP66 in our next version. Baseline consumption is a lot less than 10W fortunately, and there is no moisture build up or space for insects or ants to get in as you say. Firmware updates should never be manual, that's something we'll defend to our grave and one of the biggest problems with other products. OTA is quite crucial actually. It fortunately fails at none of the basic requirements at all, but granted it's hard to please everyone!

OTA stream of new bugs provided for free. No way to revert back when it all goes tits up with an update. And please don’t tell me your software is so good it has no bugs..... All software ever produced has bugs. Thats a fact. Also, the fan is not a good feature, it’s negative and a downright liability. The fact that a fan is needed in such a device is indicative of a less than optimal design. The internal dissipation should be so minuscule such that a fan and/or case ventilation is simply not required. The only significant product heating should be when mounted in direct sun and/or high ambient. The components and design should be able to withstand that and maintain reliability in a well designed product. Peter.

    It needs a plug park. And a better way of storing the cord like a compact retractible air hose/extension cord like they have in workshops. Also if the plug was dropped in some dirt or got wet you would want some spray cleaner and a micro fiber cloth to clean it. These would be nice to be at hand in the unit, and could also be sold as consumables for extra revenue and would fit into the wasted space in the housing.

    Er Jordan I think you'll find every EVCP has some computing power inside. It's just properly integrated instead of using a hobbyist computer board, not even using the RPi compute module which is actually designed to be incorporated into other equipment. There is no reason for anything inside an EVCP to get hot enough to need a fan. All the stupid lights tell you everything you need to know - 100% wank. Are you sure it doesn't have internal AC RCD protection? Seems odd that it would have DC and not AC.
