The ZAPPI-2H22UW-G is a 22kW three-phase untethered Type 2 EV charger in white for faster AC charging on 400V supplies.

Specified for properties with a three-phase supply, this version of zappi suits buyers who want the higher-capacity 22kW platform in a socketed format that stays visually lighter on pale walls. The white untethered model keeps the same core smart charging features as the rest of the 22kW zappi family, including built-in WiFi, Ethernet, clip-on grid sensing, ECO, ECO+ and FAST modes, and the current -G UK smart charge point compliance package. What changes here is how the charger looks and how the user handles the lead. The Type 2 socket with locking system leaves the unit cleaner between charging sessions, while the white and grey body tends to blend more easily into render, light brick and painted masonry. That makes it particularly suitable on visible domestic elevations where a darker charger or fixed cable would feel heavier on the wall.

22kW socketed charging for visible walls

A 22kW three-phase charger already suggests a more considered installation, and the untethered white version adds a stronger visual reason for choosing one variant over another. Without a permanently attached cable on the front, the charger stays tidier between sessions and works well on visible elevations where the owner wants the installation to remain understated. The socketed design means the lead is only present when charging is actually happening, which reduces clutter on the wall and keeps the charger body visually simpler. On pale render, light brick and painted garage walls, that cleaner front can make a big difference to how acceptable the finished installation feels. Combined with a white and grey housing, it is the version that most naturally suits appearance-sensitive sites where the charger will be in view every day.

Type 2 socket and separate cable storage

The untethered format gives the user freedom over how the charging lead is handled. Instead of accepting one fixed cable length attached to the unit, the owner can choose a separate lead that suits the actual parking arrangement and store it where it makes most sense. That might be in the boot, in a garage or in a dedicated storage point near the charger. It also means the cable can be changed later without changing the charger body itself. During charging, the Type 2 socket locking system keeps the lead secured properly. Once the session ends, the cable is removed and the charger returns to a much cleaner appearance. That flexibility is often the main reason to choose socketed over tethered, especially on homes where the outside wall is prominent and the visual finish matters nearly as much as the technical specification.

22kW capability and real vehicle charging speeds

The charger can deliver up to 22kW AC on a suitable 400V three-phase supply, but actual charging speed always depends on the vehicle connected to it. Some EVs can accept 22kW AC, others are limited to 11kW, and some remain below that. That is worth stating plainly because it affects buying expectations from the start. A 22kW charger should be chosen because the property has the right three-phase infrastructure and because the owner wants the site ready for higher AC charging capability, not because every present vehicle will necessarily use the full output. On mixed-vehicle homes or properties where the EV may change over time, that additional site capability can still be very valuable. It gives the installation broader usefulness than a lower-rated single-phase charger without locking the owner into one future vehicle scenario.

Solar, ECO modes and tariff-aware charging

zappi’s core strength remains the way it manages charging energy. ECO mode adjusts charge current continuously to blend imported supply with any surplus generation available on site. ECO+ is more selective and only continues charging when there is enough genuine surplus generation that would otherwise be exported. FAST works like a conventional AC charger and uses the maximum available rate from whatever source is present. Those modes let one charger behave differently depending on the needs of the property. On homes with solar PV, the charger can raise self-consumption. On homes using cheap overnight import windows, it can fit more naturally around time-of-use tariff strategies. The platform is also designed to work within a broader home energy environment that includes battery storage and other myenergi devices, which makes it more useful on evolving energy setups.

WiFi, Ethernet and app control built in

Built-in WiFi and Ethernet are part of the standard feature set, so the charger can be connected for app control and firmware support without requiring separate smart hardware. WiFi suits many straightforward residential installs where signal strength at the charger position is good. Ethernet provides a more fixed option where a cable can be run and the owner prefers a harder-wired setup. Once connected, the myenergi app can be used for charge scheduling, charge mode changes and general monitoring. Charge and event logging helps users understand how and when the charger is being used, which is useful on properties balancing solar production, tariff windows and different vehicle routines. For buyers who want a clean-looking untethered charger but still expect a strong smart feature set, that combination of simple exterior design and built-in control is a genuine advantage.

Three-phase sensing and load-aware control

The three-phase zappi ships with the clip-on grid sensors needed for proper three-phase sensing, which means a CT sensor is installed around each live tail. That sensing setup is central to how the charger delivers solar-aware behaviour and current-aware control. It is also what allows the charger to support current limiting and load balancing functions where the site cannot simply allow full output without reference to other building loads. On three-phase properties, that level of control can matter more than on simpler single-phase homes because the charger is more likely to sit alongside other larger electrical demands. Instead of seeing the 22kW figure as a fixed draw, buyers should see it as the charger’s maximum available capability within a more intelligent control framework that can be matched to the actual supply conditions on site.

PEN, 6mA DC and what installers still need

zappi includes built-in protection against loss of the PEN conductor and built-in 6mA DC residual current protection in accordance with EN 62955. Those are important integrated features and part of why the product remains technically credible. They do not, however, remove the need for correct upstream protection. myenergi’s installation guidance also specifies that an upstream Type A RCD or RCBO is required. For buyers and installers alike, that is a useful reminder that a charger is only one part of the electrical design. The unit includes the EV-specific protections expected of a modern charge point, but the wider circuit still needs to be designed around the actual earthing system, supply arrangement and applicable regulations. That is especially relevant on three-phase work, where the overall installation deserves careful planning.

White untethered charger for render and pale brick

The visual case for this version is simple and strong. A white and grey untethered charger stays lighter on the wall than a black unit and also avoids the visual weight of a permanently attached cable. On render, white-painted masonry, cream brick and lighter garage surrounds, that can make the finished installation feel much more integrated with the building. Because the charger is IP65 and IK10 rated, the enclosure is intended for permanent outdoor mounting rather than sheltered occasional use. That means colour is part of a real long-term exterior decision. On front-of-house positions and more design-sensitive elevations, the combination of white finish and socketed front can be the least obtrusive-looking option in the 22kW zappi range.

Related myenergi products and variant choices

Where the property needs more than the charger alone, the system can be extended with other myenergi products. The myenergi harvi is useful where running wired CT sensors is awkward and a wireless sensing route keeps the install neater. The myenergi eddi can help bring hot water diversion and EV charging into the same control environment on solar-equipped homes. Buyers comparing the wider zappi family should treat this model as the socketed, lighter-finish version for three-phase sites. It suits properties where appearance matters, where cable flexibility is wanted and where the owner still expects the same energy-aware charging behaviour found across the rest of the current zappi platform.

Choosing white socketed vs the other 22kW models

Choose the white untethered version when the charger will be mounted on a pale wall, the owner wants a cleaner front between sessions and a separate charging lead suits the site better than a fixed one. That combination usually works well on visible residential elevations and more appearance-sensitive projects. The black untethered model keeps the same socketed format and 22kW capability but suits darker surroundings better. The tethered versions change the daily user routine by keeping a 6.5m Type 2 cable permanently attached and ready to use. Across the full 22kW zappi family, the underlying smart charging behaviour is broadly the same. The meaningful differences are lead format, wall finish and how the charger is expected to look and function once it becomes part of the building.
