Can anyone please tell me if there is an electricity supplier out there who can accept my Kia eNiro and ZAPPI wall charger for an EV tariff?  As soon as I find one I will be leaving (environmentally conscious) OVO.

zappi is now compatible with Charge Anytime so it wouldn’t be necessary to leave OVO because of your zappi charger compatibility, and if you’ve not got one yet but thinking about it, you can get the compatible models installed by OVO! 

 

For more on the charger installation, check out the dedicated webpage here.

You could take a look at this as some Kia are listed

Or a simple time of use tariff like

https://octopus.energy/smart/go/

 

Octopus tell me that my set up is incompatible, not specifying whether it’s the car or the ZAPPI  charger (I suspect the latter as their site seems to favour OHME).  Same old story.  Maybe I should have bought myself a petrol guzzling Seat and saved about £10k in the process!

 

Probably limited to Octopus Go then. 

Both Octopus Intelligent and OVO Anytime are very new to market so difficult to tell just how many chargers and vehicles will be added and when.

You could ask Kia and ZAPPI for any information they have.
