Choose Zappi if
- Zappi suits your car, parking, and switchboard capacity.
- You want to charge on your own solar rather than the grid.
- You want app control and room for a second EV later.
Consider another option if
- You rarely park at home during daylight to use solar.
- You need a specific connector or untethered socket.
- Your switchboard needs an upgrade you would rather defer.
