The myenergi Zappi EV charger allows electric car users to dynamically charge their vehicles. The Zappi is an attractive, space-saving and flexible product that is easy to install and more intuitive to use.
As part of the Salsus Design team, I managed the project from the concept stage right through to the manufacturing liaison. I was able to develop the design using 3D CAD so that the socket could be angled to lower the side profile of the unit and save space for users around their vehicle. It also involved providing features for multiple internal layouts for their electronics to allow for adding functionality in the future. I was also required to manage the manufacturing liaison for the product. This involved communicating with tooling and moulding suppliers to provide clients with appropriate quotations and exchanging files with tooling suppliers in order to design the tool appropriately. This resulted in sample mouldings which then required evaluation and appropriate documentation to highlight modifications needed to the tool maker in order to create accurate mouldings for the client. Since it's launch in 2019 the Zappi V2 has won Autotrader Home Charger of the Year 2023, the Solar & Storage Live award for Product Innovation and attracted accolades from its feature on prominent electronic vehicle and renewable energy YouTube channel Fully Charged. https://myenergi.com/product/zappi/ |
