Charging Modes - zappi -32A1P1T05 Operation & Installation Manual

Charging Modes

zappi has three different charging modes which can be selected simply by pressing the
showing. The charge mode can be changed before or during a charge.
Regardless of the charge mode used, all of the surplus electricity is used but
amount of grid electric used. Below is explanation of each of the three charging modes.
FAST
Charges at the fastest rate.
Fast Mode will charge the EV at the fastest rate and will import grid electricity if there is
insufficient surplus generated power.
The actual charge rate is dependant on the EV's onboard charger and the grid supply voltage.
Typically, vehicles have either a 3.3kW or 6.6kW charger. The actual power can be a little
different if the grid supply voltage is not exactly 230V.

ECO
Adjusts the charge rate to limit the use of grid electricity.
The charge rate is continuously adjusted, in response to changes in generation or power
consumption elsewhere in the home, thereby minimising the use of grid power.
Charging will continue until the vehicle is fully charged, using available surplus power.
However, if at any time, the available surplus power falls below 1.4kW, the shortfall will be
drawn from the grid.
Note: The EV charging standard does not support charging below 1.4kW.
ECO+
Adjusts the charge rate to limit the use of grid electricity and will pause the
charge if there is too much grid electricity being used.
The charge rate is continuously adjusted, in response to changes in generation or power
consumption elsewhere in the home, thereby minimising the use of grid power.
Charging will pause if there is too much imported power, continuing only when there is enough
surplus power available.
The surplus power threshold at which the charge will start or stop can be set in the ECO+
Settings option, which is found in the Charge Settings menu.
It is possible to charge the EV using only surplus renewable power, providing there is sufficient
surplus power to do so. To do this, set the Min Green Level to 100%.
The Min Green Level is the minimum level for the contribution of green energy at the end
of the charge. The actual green contribution for the charge, is displayed when the charge is
complete or the EV is disconnected. For example: With Min Green Level set to 50%,
charging will be paused if 700W of power is being imported from the grid and will resume
charging when there is 700W of power being exported.
Note: The EV charging standard does not support charging below 1.4kW.
