We recently installed a sophisticated MyEnergi Zappi EV charging solution in Truro, combining immediate charging capabilities with infrastructure preparation for future garage development.
When our client in Truro approached us about installing an electric vehicle charging solution, we knew the project would require careful consideration of both current needs and future plans. The installation centred around a 7.4kW tethered MyEnergi Zappi EV charge point, whilst simultaneously preparing the groundwork for a planned garage development.
The MyEnergi Zappi charge point stands out as an intelligent solution for home EV charging. We mounted this sleek unit within a custom enclosure on the driveway’s side wall, providing convenient access for everyday charging. The tethered design means the charging cable remains permanently attached to the unit, offering practical advantages for regular use and eliminating concerns about cable storage or potential theft.
Understanding the importance of reliable power distribution, we installed a dedicated 40-amp circuit breaker in the existing consumer unit. This ensures the charging point receives a stable, protected power supply. The installation included sophisticated load monitoring technology, which continuously watches the property’s electrical consumption. This intelligent system prevents network overload by adjusting the charging rate based on the household’s real-time electricity usage.
Looking ahead to our client’s future plans, we implemented comprehensive infrastructure for a planned garage development. This forward-thinking approach included installing a 20-amp supply to the driveway area. For immediate practical use, we set up weatherproof double socket outlets mounted on marine-grade plywood and existing fencing, with additional cabling carefully stored for future garage integration.
The project required meticulous cable management, with supply lines routed at low level along the property’s exterior and through underground ducting. This approach not only ensures safety and longevity but also maintains the property’s aesthetic appeal. We also installed external-grade shielded data cabling alongside the power supply, preparing for future smart connectivity in the planned garage space.
Our installation process concluded with comprehensive electrical testing, resulting in a full Electrical Installation Certificate. This documentation not only ensures compliance with current regulations but also provides our client with peace of mind regarding the safety and efficiency of their new charging system.
This project exemplifies our commitment to delivering electrical solutions that serve immediate needs while accommodating future developments. The combination of the MyEnergi Zappi charger installation with preparatory infrastructure demonstrates how thoughtful planning can create versatile, long-lasting electrical systems.
