The ZAPPI-3AS07T-G is a 7kW single-phase tethered EV charger with app-based control, RFID access and built-in support for tariff-aware, solar-linked charging.

Designed for single-phase homes and lighter shared-use settings, zappi GLO is the myenergi charger for buyers who want a simpler physical product without losing the smart charging features that matter in practice. The fixed 6.5m Type 2 lead makes it quick to use every day, while the screen-free front and compact housing keep the unit neat on the wall. Control sits in the myenergi app rather than on an onboard display, which suits users who are happy to manage charging sessions, schedules and access from a phone instead of standing at the charger. Built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, 868MHz local radio, RFID access, CT-based current sensing, integrated 6mA DC protection and built-in PEN fault protection on -G models make it a serious domestic charger rather than a stripped-down entry unit. It also fits naturally into homes that already use solar PV, battery storage or off-peak EV tariffs.

7kW tethered charging for daily routines

A 7kW single-phase charger remains the right fit for most UK domestic EV charging because it matches the supply arrangement found on the majority of homes and gives dependable overnight charging without needing a three-phase upgrade. On the GLO tethered model, the practical benefit is convenience. The 6.5m lead is already attached, so the day-to-day routine becomes park, plug in and leave the charger to manage the session. That suits households using one main EV in a predictable bay, drivers who return home late and want the simplest possible process, and properties where a loose cable would otherwise be left in the boot or carried in and out of the house. A fixed lead also helps on wet evenings because the user is handling one fewer separate component. For many homes, that ease of use becomes one of the most valued differences after installation rather than before it.

Screen-free design with app-first control

GLO is deliberately different from the standard zappi because it removes the onboard screen and moves routine control into the myenergi app. That makes sense for users who already expect to manage devices from a phone and do not need a display on the wall for every setting change. The charger still provides clear status feedback through its multicolour LED and buzzer, but deeper control sits in the app and myaccount environment. In practice, that creates a neater-looking front and a simpler product to live with visually, especially on visible garage walls, rendered front elevations and newer domestic builds where a larger display-led charger can feel more prominent. Buyers who want app-led charging rather than menu-driven hardware are usually the natural fit for GLO. Buyers who prefer on-device navigation and a built-in screen are more likely to prefer the regular zappi platform instead.

Smart Mode, Charge Now and off-peak use

zappi GLO is built around straightforward charging behaviour rather than a long list of modes on the front of the unit. Out of the box, it operates in Smart Mode with a built-in Monday to Friday schedule from midnight to 8:00am, which is aimed at common low-cost overnight tariff windows. That default matters because it gives many households a usable charging pattern from day one, even before deeper app changes are made. Smart Mode can also respond to dynamic tariffs and use surplus solar energy where available. When Smart Mode is turned off, the charger will deliver full power immediately until the vehicle is charged, while still prioritising solar where possible. Charge Now is available through the app or by tapping the RFID access key, which is useful when the user needs an immediate full-power session rather than a scheduled one. That makes the charger easy to understand without reducing its usefulness.

Solar, battery and tariff integration

GLO’s value is strongest when the charger is treated as part of the home energy system rather than a standalone socket on the wall. myenergi positions it as compatible with solar panels, battery systems and smart tariffs, and the charger uses current sensing and app control to adapt charging around those wider energy inputs. Homes with rooftop solar can use the charger to make better use of local generation instead of relying only on imported power. Homes with battery storage can coordinate EV charging around stored energy and cheap import periods. Properties without renewables still benefit because tariff integration allows charging to follow lower-cost windows instead of drawing power at the most expensive times of day. For trade buyers and installers, that means GLO is not only about basic 7kW output. It is about giving the end user a charger that can sit properly inside the way modern homes increasingly buy, store and use electricity.

RFID access for homes and shared parking

One of the more useful features on GLO is its RFID access key system. A card is supplied, and the built-in reader supports 13.56MHz ISO/IEC 14443 access keys. That can be used simply as a convenient tap-to-charge action for the household, but it also opens the charger up to more controlled shared use. myenergi states that the RFID system can support up to 126 users, which makes it relevant not only for family homes with more than one driver but also for light shared-use settings such as small office parking, staff charging, rental properties or managed residential spaces where some level of session control is needed. Charging Lock can be enabled in the app for additional security, and named cards can help identify which user or vehicle triggered a session. That adds practical control without pushing the charger into a more complicated commercial product category.

Installer setup, CT sensing and load control

Installation detail is another reason GLO will appeal to electricians. myenergi’s Installer Assistant app is designed to guide commissioning step by step, including customer settings and grid parameters, so the handover can be completed cleanly without a long manual setup process at the charger face. The charger supports dynamic load balancing and can regulate current drawn from the power supply or grid to help prevent overload. Its grid current sensor is rated to 100A maximum primary current with a 16mm maximum cable diameter, and the platform supports up to two external CTs. Cable entries support up to 25mm diameter, and supply cable size is up to 6mm² flexible or 10mm² solid. Mounted vertically on a flat wall or surface, GLO is built to be a tidy fit rather than a bulky one. For installers working on modern domestic sites, that combination of compact body and app-led commissioning is commercially useful.

Protection, IP rating and outdoor mounting

Protection features are built into the charger rather than treated as an afterthought. GLO includes integrated 6mA DC residual current protection with RDC-DD tripping characteristics in accordance with EN 62955. On -G models, PEN fault protection is integrated and stated as compliant with BS 7671. The enclosure is rated IP65 for permanent indoor or outdoor mounting and IK10 for impact resistance, with a polycarbonate body sized at 350 x 170 x 160mm. Operating temperature is rated from -25°C to +40°C, with current derating at 50°C. Tamper detection is handled by microswitch, which supports the smart charge point security side of the product as well as the practical reality of external wall mounting. Local regulations may still require upstream 30mA Type A RCD protection, so the wider circuit design remains part of the installer’s job, but the charger itself arrives with the key EV-specific protections buyers now expect.

OCPP, backend support and shared-use potential

GLO is still primarily a domestic and light shared-use charger, but it does include OCPP 1.6J support via the myenergi backend. That is useful because it gives the product a route into more managed charging environments without pretending to be a heavy-duty commercial pedestal. The important limitation is that OCPP is not available for offline or local-only use, so buyers expecting a fully local OCPP workflow need to understand that point clearly. For the right setting, though, backend OCPP support adds flexibility. It makes more sense of the charger’s RFID user control, its shared-use potential and its positioning for smaller semi-commercial environments. On a home driveway, that feature may never be noticed. On a staff parking bay, apartment setting or other managed shared space, it can become a more meaningful buying factor.

Choosing GLO tethered or untethered

Choose the tethered GLO when the household wants the quickest possible plug-in routine and the vehicle usually parks in a predictable position. The fixed 6.5m lead is the main reason to pick this version and will suit most single-EV driveways and regular overnight charging patterns. The untethered GLO makes more sense where the user wants a cleaner front between sessions, prefers to store the cable separately or needs more freedom over cable length. Buyers comparing GLO with the regular zappi should think about control style as much as cable style. GLO is the screen-free, app-first option. The standard zappi is the better fit for users who want onboard screen control and a more traditional charger interface. Within the myenergi range at myenergi, the tethered GLO is the simpler daily-use choice when convenience and a neater compact body matter most.

Accessories and related buying choices

GLO can work as a standalone charger, but some installations benefit from wider myenergi pairing. Where running CT wiring is awkward, the myenergi harvi can help reduce difficult sensing cable routes. Homes already diverting surplus generation to hot water can add the myenergi eddi so EV charging and domestic diversion sit inside the same ecosystem. Buyers comparing the broader home EV chargers range should see GLO as the myenergi option for app-led charging with a smaller wall presence. For users who already know they want a fixed cable and do not need a screen on the charger body, the tethered GLO keeps the daily experience straightforward while still leaving room for solar, tariff and wider home energy integration later.
