MyEnergi Zappi GLO vs Hypervolt Home 3 Pro: Which EV Charger Should You Buy?

The MyEnergi Zappi GLO and Hypervolt Home 3 Pro are two of the most capable solar EV chargers on the market right now.

While both offer smart charging, tariff integration and solar compatibility, they take very different approaches.

The Zappi GLO focuses on energy management and renewable integration, while the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro prioritises premium design, ease of use and one of the best charging apps on the market.

So which home EV charger is right for your home?

In this guide, we'll compare the MyEnergi Zappi GLO and Hypervolt Home 3 Pro across design, smart features, solar charging, installation and value for money to help you decide.

Design and build quality

The biggest visual difference between these chargers is their approach to simplicity.

The MyEnergi Zappi GLO removes the display and physical controls that were present on the orignial Zappi entirely. Everything is handled through the myenergi app, creating a clean and minimalist appearance that's designed to blend into modern homes.

Hypervolt chargers have always been some of the best-looking EV chargers on the market and the Home 3 Pro continues that tradition. Available in multiple colours (space grey, ultra white and ultra black) with customisable LED lighting, it feels like a premium consumer product rather than a piece of electrical equipment. The improved weatherproof casing and upgraded materials over the Home 3 further reinforce that premium feel.

What's more, the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro comes with a choice of three cable options (5m, 7.5m and 10m) rather than the single 6.5m cable length that you get with the Zappi Glo.

Winner: Hypervolt Home 3 Pro

Both chargers look great, but Hypervolt takes the lead thanks to having more colour and charging cable length options.

Smart charging features

Both chargers support scheduled charging, support for specialised energy tariffs like Intelligent Octopus GO and OVO Charge Anytime. Although the Zappi Glo is currently the only EV charger to support E-on Next Drive Smart tariff as of June 2026.

The Hypervolt app is widely regarded as one of the best charger apps available. Setting a charge schedule to coincide with your off-peak rate is straightforward, switching between charging modes is simple, and the interface provides clear charging and cost data. It also supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Ethernet connectivity for greater installation flexibility.

The Zappi GLO uses the myenergi app to provide charging schedules, tariff integration and charging session energy monitoring. Although simpler in appearance than the original Zappi, it retains the intelligent charging functionality that has made MyEnergi popular among EV owners.

Winner: It's a tie

Both chargers offer a similar number of features that make it a great addition to anyone's home.

Renewable energy and solar integration

Both chargers prioritise household load before directing solar energy to a connected vehicle but this is where the Zappi GLO begins to shine.

MyEnergi has built its reputation around renewable energy integration.

The Zappi GLO works seamlessly with solar panels, battery storage and the wider MyEnergi ecosystem, including products such as the Libbi battery and Eddi solar diverter. The charger is designed to maximise self-generated energy and automatically divert surplus self generated energy like the power from your solar array or home wind turbines into your vehicle.

The Hypervolt Home 3 Pro also supports solar charging and offers dedicated solar modes that allow charging from excess solar generation. It also has limited home battery storage support. However, it doesn't provide the same level of whole-home energy ecosystem integration as MyEnergi.

Winner: MyEnergi Zappi GLO

If you have solar panels and/or a home battery or plan to install them in the future the Zappi GLO is one of the strongest options available.

Installation and flexibility

Both chargers are straightforward to install, but they cater to different requirements.

The Zappi GLO keeps things simple with a 6.5m tethered cable and app-only operation. It also supports RFID access, making it useful for households with multiple drivers or shared charging locations.

The Hypervolt Home 3 Pro offers greater flexibility with 5m, 7.5m and 10m cable options, plus Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Ethernet connectivity. The improved installer-friendly design also makes installation quicker and easier.

Winner: Hypervolt Home 3 Pro

More cable options and connectivity choices give Hypervolt the edge.

Which charger is better value?

Value depends heavily on your priorities.

If your focus is simply charging your EV at the lowest cost using off-peak tariffs, both chargers will perform exceptionally well.

However, if your home includes solar panels, battery storage or future renewable energy plans, the Zappi GLO offers additional long-term value especially through its energy ecosystem integration.

For drivers who prioritise design, ease of use and a superb app experience, the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro remains one of the most compelling premium chargers available.

Our choice

For the best all-round charge point, we'd say that the Hypervolt Home 3 Pro is the charger of choice thanks to its app, choices of cable lengths, premium design and user-friendly experience.

If you are looking for a charger that goes above and beyond when it comes to getting the most out of your self-generated energy, then the Zappi Glo is your go-to. The expierence is enhanced even further if you have any other Myenergi products like the Eddi power diverter or the Libbi battery.
