11. Manual Boost
The Manual Boost function can only be used when charging in ECO or ECO+ mode. When boosting, the charge rate
is set to maximum (just like FAST mode), until a set amount of energy has been stored in the EV's battery. After
which, zappi will revert to ECO or ECO+ mode.
This function is useful if you arrive home with an almost flat battery and would like to charge the vehicle immediately
to ensure there is enough charge for a short trip if needed.
The amount of energy delivered to the EV during the boost charge can be changed in the Charge Settings/Boost
menu.
When in ECO or ECO+ mode, each press of the button will cycle through the boost options as illustrated below:

The Smart Boost function will charge the EV with a minimum kWh figure by a set time. Smart Boost is available only

the energy added during the charging session.
When in ECO or ECO+ mode, each press of the button will cycle through the boost options as illustrated below:
Example: It's a sunny Sunday and you wish to ensure there is enough charge in the EV to get to work in the morning
(e.g. 15kWh), but in the meantime, you want to use the surplus energy from the PV system to charge the car, so you
choose to use ECO+ mode. At sunset there was only 10kWh of charge accumulated. However, because you activated
Smart Boost, and set the time you needed to leave for work,
to top up the battery to the required 15kWh by 7am.

until Cancel Boost is shown.
