Norwegian EV charging specialist, Zaptec has today launched the Zaptec Go 2 in the UK, a next-generation V2G-ready AC charger, designed to support the transition to smarter, more sustainable energy use.
Sleek, compact, and future-ready, the Zaptec Go 2 is the UK’s first (Vehicle-to-Grid) V2G-ready charger built for both domestic and commercial use, offering homeowners and businesses a genuine gateway to the grid. It’s the latest innovation from the market leader whose EV technology is used across Europe, with more than 650,000 products sold.
The Zaptec Go 2 opens the door to a more flexible energy system. With Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capability supporting ISO 15118, it provides the communication that enables plug-and-charge and bi-directional energy communication between EV and grid. This step forward paves the way for energy sharing, cost savings, and grid-balancing as standards are finalised, and car manufacturers activate V2G features.
The 3-phase, 22kW charger delivers fast charging while supporting dynamic load balancing to avoid costly grid upgrades. It is also bi-directional MID-certified with in-built screen, which helps businesses prepare for upcoming UK legislation requiring certified energy metering in all new chargers used for accurate billing and salary sacrifice schemes.
“Zaptec Go 2 helps homeowners, businesses and public sector partners invest in infrastructure that’s ready to evolve and stay ahead of the curve.” Michael Braybrook, Managing Director UK, Zaptec.
The technology inside the Zaptec Go 2 includes improved subscription-free 4G connectivity, with full OCPP 1.6J support offering easy integration with platforms and charge point operators. Solar-ready features come to life with apps such as ev.energy, giving users even more control over how and when they charge.
The Zaptec Go 2 also receives over-the-air updates, so features can evolve with the market and deliver more value with future advancements and is now available to order immediately in the UK.
