Global energy product manufacturer myenergi launches Australian subsidiary

myenergi is entering the Australian market.

myenergi is best known for its smart solar EV charger known as Zappi, and today the UK-headquartered company announced that it is expanding its operations, to include an Australian subsidiary. myenergi Australia will be headed by Russell Shepherd, who possesses extensive experience in the EV industry.

Jordan Brompton, co-founder and CMO of myenergi, commented “We are extremely excited to be launching our new subsidiary in Australia. Our international expansion programme is building with impressive momentum, with subsidiaries already operational in Germany, Ireland and The Netherlands”

The Zappi is a pretty awesome charger, not only offering remote control functionality for your car charging, but the ability to seamlessly integrate with a rooftop PV system, and respond seamlessly to changing environmental, grid and vehicle conditions. As more electricity providers clamp down on solar exports from homeowners, Zappi users are able to maximise their electricity generation, and minimise wastage.

The Zappi features three modes:

Eco Mode

The myenergi zappi charger.

Eco mode uses a mixture of both grid power and green energy. However, this mode can use 100% green energy if this is available. Eco mode reduces the amount of grid power used as much as possible. 

The Zappi charger will adjust the power usage and power it uses in response to the power that is available while using. If your home is using a lot of power, it will adjust accordingly.

Eco mode works by using all green power until the power drops below 1.4kw. When the power reaches below this, it will use power from the grid to stop it from losing power completely, which is a great feature.

Eco+

Eco+ works similarly to the Eco mode, but it works at saving even more energy. The charging power adjusts according to the power consumption and what mode is generating the power created. 

If your electric or hybrid car is receiving too much power at once, the Eco+ mode will change this accordingly. In addition to this, it will pause if too much power is imported and will only continue to charge when there is enough power left over to charge the car.  

Fast

As to be expected, this mode will charge your electric car quickly in comparison to the Eco and Eco+ modes.

Unlike the Eco and Eco+, Fast mode will charge your vehicle at maximum power. Although this is not as environmentally friendly as the other two modes, it is quicker and great if you are on more of a time limit. 

In addition to this, it will still draw power from green electricity wherever it can, rather than relying on power from the grid. However, the power can come from one of these sources if needed, or both.

We look forward to discussing myenergi’s Australian launch and its product offerings with local managing director Russell Shepherd on EV Brief Podcast soon.
