The Ultimate Solution for Convenient EV Charging

As the world moves towards a more sustainable future, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is on the rise. Homeowners are increasingly looking for efficient and cost-effective ways to charge their EVs at home. A 7kw home charger is an excellent solution for many, offering a perfect balance between charging speed and cost.

In this article, we will outline for you the benefits of 7kw home chargers, with a particular focus on the Zappi EV charger, and explore the advantages of using renewable energy sources such as solar PV or wind for your charging needs.

Understanding the 7kw Home Charger

A 7kw home charger is a popular choice for EV owners because it provides a significant boost in charging speed compared to a standard 3-pin plug. It can fully charge most EVs overnight, making it an ideal solution for home use.
