The myenergi zappi GLO ZAPPI-3AS07UT-G is a 7kW single-phase untethered EV charger with a Type 2 socket and locking system. It is the socketed GLO option for customers who want a compact, screen-free wall unit and prefer to store the charging cable separately. The electrical platform matches the tethered GLO, with 6A to 32A variable charging current, app-led control, RFID access, dynamic load balancing capability and integrated protection on the -G model. The practical difference is the cable arrangement. Instead of a fixed 6.5m lead, the wall unit provides a Type 2 socket, so the cable length can be chosen around the driveway and replaced later without changing the charger. For customers comparing socketed products, place it within home EV chargers.

Why choose socketed zappi GLO?

The socketed GLO suits customers who value a clear wall when the charger is not in use. There is no fixed cable to coil around the unit, so the front elevation stays tidier between charging sessions. That makes the untethered version a strong option for visible installs on driveways, shared residential parking and homes where the charge point is close to the front door.

A removable cable also gives more flexibility over parking layout. The user can select a shorter cable for a tight driveway, a longer cable for offset parking or keep a cable in the car for public charging. The socket includes a locking system, so the cable is held during a charging session rather than simply hanging loose.

App-led charging without a display

GLO is built around app control rather than on-device menu control. The customer manages charging sessions, settings and monitoring through the myenergi app, while the charger uses a multicolour LED to show charge status. This fits users who want simple wall hardware and are comfortable with phone-led setup and day-to-day control.

RFID access is included through a 13.56MHz card reader, with an RFID card supplied. The datasheet states support for the reader standard ISO/IEC 14443 using Mifare Classic. In shared or semi-public locations, that gives a practical method for controlling who can start a session without relying on a visible PIN keypad.

Connectivity is via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy and 868MHz local radio. The charger also supports OCPP 1.6J through the myenergi backend, not for offline or local use. That can matter for light shared-use settings where a backend connection is part of the charging management approach.

Solar, tariff and home energy use

The GLO can be used with Solar PV or other microgeneration systems to reduce exported energy. The installation manual states that it can charge with 100% green energy, a mixture of green and grid energy, or grid energy alone when no microgeneration is connected. This makes the socketed model useful for solar homes that still want removable cable storage.

Smart tariff integration is also supported. myenergi states that GLO is compatible with smart and off-peak tariffs including Octopus Intelligent, and OVO provides onboarding details for zappi 2.1 and GLO units on compatible firmware. Customers comparing tariff-led charging can read the LAMPS EV tariff guide before finalising the charger selection.

Dynamic load balancing is listed as an optional feature that regulates current drawn from the supply or grid. The datasheet also specifies metering accuracy for load and external CTs designed to Class B of EN 50470. For properties with limited supply capacity, the grid CT position and configuration should be treated as part of the charger specification, not as an afterthought.

Protection and installation checks

For ZAPPI-3AS07UT-G, integrated 6mA DC residual current protection is provided with RDC-DD tripping characteristics in accordance with EN 62955. Local regulations may require upstream 30mA Type A RCD protection, and the installer must select overcurrent protection for the final circuit. The installation manual states the final circuit should be protected by an overcurrent device sized to 120% of the design current.

PEN fault protection is integrated on -G models and is listed as compliant with BS 7671. The unit must be permanently supplied and earthed through a reliable earth conductor. It is designed for indoor or outdoor mounting on a flat wall or surface, and it must be mounted vertically.

The enclosure is IP65 and IK10, with polycarbonate construction and tamper detection by microswitch. Installation quality still matters. Grommets, plugs, cover O-ring and glands need correct fitting to maintain ingress protection. The operating temperature range is -25°C to +40°C, with current derating noted at 50°C.

Choosing between GLO socket and cable

The main GLO buying decision is fixed cable versus socket. The tethered zappi GLO suits one regular vehicle and a predictable parking position because the 6.5m lead is always ready. This untethered GLO suits customers who want the wall unit to stay compact and cable-free when not in use.

Compared with the screen-based zappi range, the GLO removes the graphical LCD and shifts control to the app. Choose GLO where minimal hardware and app-led operation are priorities. Choose standard zappi where on-device display, local menu control and a more traditional charger interface are important to the user.
