Using each product's recorded installation basis, the myenergi Zappi GLO is £999–£1,199 installed and the myenergi zappi is £1,084–£1,284 installed. These are planning ranges, not quotes; cable routes and electrical remedial work can change the result.
The myenergi zappi (7kW / 22kW) supports three-phase charging at up to 22kW, while the myenergi Zappi GLO is single-phase only at 7kW. On the standard UK single-phase supply (95% of homes), both charge at roughly the same speed. Three-phase is only relevant if your property has a three-phase electrical supply.
On a standard UK single-phase supply, both will charge a Tesla Model 3 Long Range (75kWh battery) from 20% to 80% in approximately 5–6 hours overnight. Even a Tesla Model Y with its larger battery completes a typical daily top-up well within an overnight window. For the vast majority of UK Tesla owners, single-phase 7kW charging is more than sufficient — you'll wake up to a full battery every morning.
The myenergi Zappi GLO offers: Solar diverting (Eco / Eco+ modes), myenergi app, Smart tariff support, RFID access (126 users), myenergi ecosystem (eddi, libbi), Wi-Fi & Bluetooth. The myenergi zappi offers: Solar diverting (Fast / Eco / Eco+ modes), On-unit LCD screen and buttons, myenergi app, Octopus Intelligent Go and OVO Charge Anytime integration, Agile price-based scheduling, Dynamic load balancing (Grid Limit), Wi-Fi + Ethernet, no hub required, myenergi ecosystem (eddi, libbi, harvi), PEN fault detection (zapsafe).
Breaking these down by category: for connectivity, the myenergi Zappi GLO uses Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, while the myenergi zappi uses Wi-Fi + Ethernet, no hub required. For energy management, the myenergi Zappi GLO provides basic monitoring, compared to the myenergi zappi's Dynamic load balancing (Grid Limit).
Both the myenergi Zappi GLO and myenergi zappi support solar integration, allowing you to charge your Tesla using surplus solar energy rather than drawing from the grid.
The myenergi Zappi GLO uses a CT clamp on your meter tails to measure real-time surplus generation, enabling its Eco and Eco+ modes. The myenergi zappi uses a CT clamp on your meter tails to measure real-time surplus generation, enabling its Eco and Eco+ modes.
Both the myenergi Zappi GLO and myenergi zappi support smart energy tariffs, enabling automated off-peak charging at significantly reduced rates.
The myenergi Zappi GLO supports compatible Octopus scheduling through its supplier integration. The myenergi zappi supports compatible Octopus scheduling through its supplier integration.
The myenergi Zappi GLO comes with a 3 years warranty, while the myenergi zappi offers 3 years (5 with £120 extension). Both offer the same warranty length.
