From what I've seen of your videos being across the pond, the Zappi is a really cool and intelligent charger.

really good video Jordan. well explained, from start to finish and showing how to wire everything up as well. 10/10 mate.

Great video. Very well described performance and functionality with the install process. What I really like is that as a DIYer I can prepare for an electrical installation of an EV charger in the future by getting suitable cable under my floors from the consumer unit to an outside location. This way I do not need to have SWA screwed to my outside walls. This video confirms the capacity rating and prep work ahead of an installer coming in.

The Storm SWA glands are very similar in design to Pro Term SWA glands which I first saw and liked at a trade show around 2010. As a result I gave up on the brass SWA because the Pro Term were so easy to fit and did a much better job of connecting the armour and sealing around the outer sheath. I retired just before EV charging really started in earnest. Always something new to learn. Keep up the good work.

The Zappi got some really clever functions. I love the solar charge option, and I understood from another video from the MyEnergy channel that with the Harvi its possible to monitor the amount of energy generated by your solar panels as well by fitting CT clips on the cables coming from the inverter. As a result it's possible to see how much current is going in or out the grid, into the car and from the solar panels, and then the usage of other consumers in the house can be seen as a result. In the future they will offer a switch box to make other consumers in the house like a washing machine or tumble dryer intelligent, they are switched on when there is a surplus of solar energy. This can be a great advantage when having a smart meter which monitors consumption and feedback from or into the grid, in the near future in the Netherlands consumption from the grid will cost 3 times as much as you get payed for feedback, and this may apply to other countries as well. So worth using as much as possible of your own generated power directly. Also a big advantage is the built in type A DCR.

You certainly got a lot done in one day! Great job and very neat.

Really enjoy your videos mate... Good to see your ev stuff is going well 👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent vid Jordan . To good in fact as it will make non electricians think they can get away with installing them themselves. Shame about the extra holes in the wall but sometimes it can’t be helped.

I wish I had you as my installer. I had a right cowboy. Blew out a brick being too heavy handed: cracked another brick;. Broke two drills due to overheating when drilling an earthing rod. Drilled my charger to the wall in situ causing the internals to be full of brick dust, and finally, pinned the cable to plasterboard without using wall plugs. Apart from that perfect. :). Thanks for sharing

Well done mate, nice and neat 👍🏻

The zappi made a victory fanfare sound from final fantasy. Cool.

just purchased the slicer, old school as always used the hacksaw, was taught that way.

This was really interesting. Do you not need the armoured to be 18” under the path with yellow warning tape above? For some reason I though you did but good to see I’m wrong as I need to go under a similar path for my own install. Great video!

so interesting in the UK there are so many brands of Ev chargers. I'm a sparky in North America and we mostly install the tesla wall connectors or a nema 14-50 outlet and the adaptor from tesla.

Love your videos. What size cable have you used to supply the charging unit?

Nice video, I would of used metal cleats on the SWA-Regulation 521.10. 202 I know it seems OTT for the position of the cable, but I was previously picked up on an NICEIC inspection for using plastic cleats in a similar situation to your install

being from the usa one thing i love is your armoured cable system seems a little pain in the ass with the glands but so much stronger than our direct burial pvc polymer coated cables

Great video. I'm installing my first EV charger next week which happens to be a Zappi v2 with a Harvi.

Wow i laughed so hard when Zappi made that tune :P And I can tell you that it is the music from the game Final Fantasy VII after you won a battle :P

Hi great video as ever. My garage supply has a 50A supply fed from a Type B 30mA rcbo could that be used? Love the look of this unit especially with the wireless ct's

Thanks for the vdeo. With regards to the depth of the cable just under the slab, does that comply with regs?

I love watching your videos and always learn plenty by watching them. I wanted to ask a question though about the supply cable. Would you consider using a 2 core SWA with blue and brown conductors? If you go into a plastic CU you can add a link to the earth bar as a continuation of the armourings rather than a bonding conductor. If you go into a metal CU, the link could be omitted as the metal body of the CU would finish the link to the earth bar. By using at 2 core cable you would be using the steel armourings to form a very large CSA conductor for fault current. I know you will have considered this option. Is there a reason why you don't use two core which would avoid the parallel paths you get when you have an earth conductor and and earth link from the gland? Keep up the good work.

Very good video mate...

Great video that Zappi V2 seems much less of a faff than the Tesla charger.

Hi Jordan, Zappi say that with their load management you dont have to notify the DNO, however the OLEV forms asks for evidence that the DNO has been notified, I'd appreciate your view?

excellent informative video , do you need to put a notice on CU to say new colours used ?

Top tip, you can buy large silica gel packs very cheaply on ebay / Amazon. I have these in my tool cases, particularly useful for precision stuff that often gets damp like my spectra laser level. The other thing is to keep a bit of scouring pad in the box and some wd40, a quick rub will get any surface rust off and the wd40 will give a bit of protection.

Hi Jordan good vid, I take it the Harvi talks to the Zappi, if there could be an issue with wifi and you wire the ct clamp would you run that along side the supply to the zappi or in its own conduit or is there a supply cable with it in ? Cheers

@artisanelectrics

Hi! Thanks for watching. 1. The cable doesn’t need RCD protection as it’s armoured and clipped direct. If I put it on an RCD it would have to be a type B RCD as it’s upstream from the Type A RCD with 6mA DC protection that’s built in to the Zappi. 2. I’ve not done a video on this maybe I should... 3. The back plate is just to protect the tethered cable from being scratched against the wall. It clips on to the top of the Zappi and is held on by a couple of screws at the back.

Hi, I have been watching your channel for a while with great interest, and it reminds me not to fiddle with wires! I have been quote for a Zappi and they are proposing to use Hi-Tuff cable. You seem to use SWA for your installs. Is Hi-Tuff ok? I am a little concerned because the cable can’t be hidden and passes in front of our back doorstep and might be vunerable. Should I ask for SWA? Thanks.

*stops routing the armoured into the board to clean up the messy board* nice. I'm sure whoever is in there next will appreciate it.

Why didn’t you install the backplate? If the gland is too big, how will it make a good earth connection to the SWA?

Maybe I’ve missed something but is there a mitigating factor that enables you connect a new circuit into the combustible enclosure?

Hi, thank you for video. What determined the location of the Zappi? I assume all EV cars have different charge point positions and some people reverse into garages and if you cannot be bothered to put the car away can the lead reach? While my brain is on - what about the lead going outside and closing the garage door? Could a transfer adapter be fitted into the wall? I’d better stop now otherwise you’ll be charging me and I can’t afford it. Thank you.

56:10 why dose the zappi not just have WiFi and connect directly to the internet itself ? Why do you need an extra box?

If the meter box was out the front can you install the Zappi from the MCB in the meter box or must you feed it from the 63amp main breaker in the consumer unit?

Sometimes its possible to install a mini consumer unit in the meter box and run from there, but it doesn't make much difference to the price usually.

Would you consider feeding the EV charger via an RCBO to give added protection against damaged SWA rather than just a MCB.
