Ohme Home Pro vs myenergi zappi
Ohme Home Pro and myenergi zappi both offer smart home charging, tariff controls and solar-related functions, but the connection and controls differ. Home Pro is listed with a tethered 5 m Type 2 cable and 7.4 kW single-phase output. zappi comes in 7.4 kW single-phase or 22 kW three-phase options and can be ordered tethered or socketed. Neither is the right choice for every home.

What is actually different?
| What to compare | Ohme Home Pro | myenergi zappi |
|---|---|---|
| Power options | 7.4 kW single-phase version in current product listing. | 7.4 kW single-phase or 22 kW three-phase options. Car and supply must support the higher rate. |
| Cable | Tethered 5 m Type 2 lead; 8 m upgrade listed as optional. | Tethered Type 2 or untethered socket versions. |
| Tariff controls | Connect the app to a supplier tariff; Ohme schedules around supported off-peak periods. | FAST, ECO and ECO+ modes; time-of-use settings are offered alongside solar functions. Confirm how your supplier tariff is supported. |
| Solar | Solar Boost is listed. Manufacturer information says a CT clamp is needed for solar charging; confirm supply and fitting in your quote. | ECO/ECO+ can use grid/solar combinations. Manufacturer lists a CT clamp in the box; confirm the correct phase/configuration for your setup. |
| Connection and controls | Built-in colour screen, charger buttons, app and 4G multi-network SIM are listed. | App, charger display/buttons and built-in Wi-Fi/Ethernet are listed for the current model. |
Product pages can change and configurations vary. The Ohme data sheet already retained by this site dates from February 2024; the current Ohme product pages were also checked for the listed product details. Compare the exact version and installation quote you are offered.
In plain English
If you have solar panels or a home battery
Both manufacturers describe solar-related charging. Ohme calls its feature Solar Boost and says a CT clamp is needed. myenergi describes zappi ECO and ECO+ modes for using solar surplus. Those features depend on the correct monitoring, settings and interaction with any home battery; a solar label does not by itself prove the combination will work exactly as you expect.
Ask the installer which electricity flows the sensors measure, whether a clamp or other accessory is included and how grid top-ups or pauses behave when generation changes. Explain any existing battery or inverter before choosing. See solar and EV charging.
In plain English
If you mainly want off-peak tariff charging
Ohme describes connecting its app to an electricity supplier tariff and scheduling charging within the available price windows. myenergi lists timer and energy modes and says zappi can link home energy equipment and time-of-use tariffs. Check the current compatibility list for your exact supplier and tariff rather than assuming that any smart charger can control every plan.
Think about whether you want the charger to schedule directly, use an app, or work alongside the car’s own timer. Conflicting schedules can delay a charge. A cheap rate only applies during its qualifying hours and under the tariff’s terms. Use the home charging cost guide to compare the whole bill, not just a headline overnight price.
Your next step
Which might suit your household?
Home Pro may suit you if its listed 7.4 kW single-phase output meets your overnight needs and you want a tethered 5 m lead, a built-in colour display, 4G connection and Ohme’s tariff-oriented app controls. Confirm cable reach, any 8 m upgrade, solar clamp requirements and the exact tariff service.
zappi may suit you if you want a choice of socketed or tethered models, are planning around its ECO/ECO+ solar modes, or your assessed property and car can use a three-phase model. The 22 kW option cannot make a car with an 11 kW AC limit accept 22 kW. Check what the CT clamp, installation and app setup cover in the quote.
This is a feature comparison, not a test or a universal ranking. There is no affiliate or commission basis for the conclusion. Compare the manufacturer specifications for the exact versions, then use the charger comparison tool if both configurations are listed, and get an installer to assess your property.
