Tell us about your home charging routine.
I use my EV and home charger everyday and cover about 500 miles a week. The zappi automatically charges the car either during the daytime when the solar panels are producing excess electricity or at night on a low tariff.

 

If you were buying a new charging unit now, what would you buy and why?
I’d buy exactly the same again, another zappi.

 

Tell us about your electricity provider and tariff. Would you recommend them?
ScottishPower off-peak fuel fuel. It’s not specifically for EV charging but good rates overnight. Cost me about £5.00 to charge from 20% to 80% which is about 60kWh.

 

Are you part of a charger-sharing scheme for those who don’t have their own charger?
No.
