Zappi VS Ohme: Which EV Charger is Better?

Two big names dominate the electric vehicle charging market: Ohme and Myenergi Zappi.

Both are 7kW smart home chargers. Both are full of new tech. Both are offering cheaper, greener electric car charging.

But which charger manufacturer should you choose?

Spoiler: In the Zappi vs Ohme fight, there is no real winner. In truth, it depends on you, your preferences and tastes, and, of course, your charging layout.

One isn’t better than the other. Inherently, the chargers work the same. They are built for different scenarios. And thrive in different home set-ups.

In today’s article, we explain when and why you should invest in each.

Quick summary:

There is minimal difference between Zappi and Ohme EV chargers; they are all 7kW smart home EV chargers chock full of new tech, are app-controlled, and come with handy EV tariff integration.

That said, if you have to pick:

Choose Zappi over Ohme if:

• You’re more sustainably focused, have solar panels, and want to charge your EV with solar energy.
• Interested in creating a circular home energy system and investing in other green energy equipment, such as battery storage, solar panels and electric vehicle chargers.
• You don’t have a strong mobile connection at home, as Zappi offers Wi-Fi connectivity.
• You want to use the OVO Charge Anytime EV tariff to charge your EV at 7p per kWh during off-peak hours.

On the other hand, choose Ohme over Zappi if:

• You’re interested in maximising cost savings. Ohme’s seamless integration is one of the best on the market, allowing you to charge at the cheapest and greenest times available for you.
• Lack strong Wi-Fi at home as Ohme uses a 4G mobile connection only.

Zappi vs Ohme, quick comparison:

Ohme

Established in 2017 by David Watson, UK-founded Ohme is on a mission to make electric vehicle charging smarter, greener and cheaper for all EV drivers.

Ohme has grown exponentially over the years, partnering with major automotive and energy brands, including Motability operations, Skoda, Octopus Energy, and Genesis Motor UK.

From just a prototype in 2018, Ohme now has a portfolio of two fully fledged EV chargers:

• Ohme Home Pro
• Ohme ePod 

The difference between the two? Minimal. They are pretty much the same EV charger, only with slight style variations.

When to choose an Ohme EV charger:

• You want automated, discounted home EV charging with Ohme’s advanced EV tariff integration and dynamic charging
• Have an unstable Wi-Fi connection where you want your EV charger to go. Ohme offers 4G connectivity.
• You want more smart features included.

Myenergi Zappi

Lee Sutton and Jordan Brompton founded myenergi, a British renewable energy company, in 2026.

From day one in Lincolnshire, myenergi set out to design smart technology to help UK households maximise self-generated renewable power, reduce grid reliance, and lower carbon emissions.

And that includes creating the first solar EV charger to market.

Today, myenergi Zappi is one of the most well-known home EV chargers, and recently they released a brand new model.

• Myenergi Zappi 2.1 (the original)
• New Zappi Glo 

Choose a Zappi EV charger if:

• You are sustainably focused with a keen desire to charge your electric car with solar panels
• Want a fully circular home, including connecting green energy devices.
• You want to charge at 7p per kWh with the OVO Charge Anytime EV tariff.

Zappi VS Ohme: our final thoughts

All in all, there is no winner between the Zappi and Ohme. The choice ultimately is down to you.

Truthfully, the charging experiences are very similar.

Though one to note: both Zappi and Ohme home EV chargers offer solar EV charging capabilities, Zappi does pip it with its more advanced version, especially the original.

In our opinion, if you still can’t choose, decide on appearance.
