The Zappi is manufactured by myenergi, a UK-based company founded in Lincolnshire. It is the most popular solar-integrated EV charger in the UK and is widely regarded as the benchmark for homes with solar PV or battery storage systems.

Pod Point is one of the UK's largest EV charging companies, founded in London in 2009 and now majority-owned by EDF Energy. The Pod Point Solo 3 is their primary domestic charger and one of the most widely installed in UK homes.

The choice between tethered and untethered chargers is one of the most common questions electricians face when specifying EV chargers. The right answer depends on the installation context. For a fuller comparison, see our dedicated guide to tethered vs untethered EV chargers.
All prices above are approximate 2025 supply-and-install figures before any OZEV grant deduction. The EVHS grant (£350 for eligible flat residents and renters) and WCS grant (£350 per socket for businesses) apply to all brands listed above, as all are OZEV-approved. See our EV charger grants guide for full eligibility details.
The best charger brand for your customer depends on their specific situation. Asking five key questions will narrow the choice quickly: Do they have solar PV? (Zappi.) Do they want automatic smart tariff optimisation? (Ohme.) Is it a commercial or fleet installation? (Easee or Pod Point Pro.) Is it for a flat with limited space? (Wallbox Pulsar Plus or Ohme ePod.) Is it a straightforward domestic installation? (Any of the above — choose the brand you know best and have stock of.)
Regardless of brand, every EV charger installation requires a BS 7671 Section 722 electrical installation certificate. Use the Elec-Mate EV charging certificate app to complete the certificate on site and export to PDF before you leave — professional documentation builds repeat business and supports OZEV grant claims.
Use the Elec-Mate quoting app to present quotes with the EVHS or WCS grant clearly itemised. Customers who see £350 deducted from their net cost are more likely to proceed — showing the gross cost, grant, and net cost on a single professional quote page removes friction from the buying decision.

Elec-Mate is my go to app for business and electrical work. It's feature rich without feeling cluttered. A true all in one app for quotes, certs, calculations, RAMS, EICRs, and more. I use it every day without fail, and it makes my workflow much smoother since I'm not jumping between apps anymore. The price-to-feature ratio is excellent. Any issues I've had, the developer responds within the hour and usually fixes them the same day. 100% recommend.
I've used the app and the web based version for a while now and it's well worth the investment. If you're an apprentice or experienced Spark give it a go, you won't be disappointed.
I've been using Elec-Mate for a while now, and honestly, it's one of the best apps I've ever downloaded. Every aspect of it feels thoughtfully designed, from the clean and intuitive interface to the powerful features that make everything so easy to manage. It's clear that a lot of care and attention went into building this app, and it shows in every detail.
