The Ultimate Smart Solution for Housing and Fleet Electrification

For housing developers, housing associations, and fleet operators, the transition to electric vehicles involves more than simply installing chargers. Key considerations include long-term reliability, regulatory compliance, and ensuring infrastructure is adaptable to future requirements. Selecting the right charging solution at the outset can help avoid costly upgrades or replacements later.

• Compliance and accuracy: MID certification, which will soon be mandatory in the UK, ensures precise energy metering. This supports transparent billing and helps prevent disputes between residents and providers. In social housing projects in Norway, MID-certified chargers have helped clarify shared energy costs.
• OCPP connectivity: Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) compliance allows integration with a wide range of back-office and management systems, providing flexibility for housing providers to manage multiple sites or retrofit existing properties.
• Sustainability: Solar integration enables the use of renewable energy for EV charging, supporting efforts to reduce operational costs and carbon emissions. Housing associations have used solar-compatible Zaptec chargers to lower energy bills for residents.
• Easy installation and durability: The installer-friendly design supports efficient rollouts and reduces the likelihood of callbacks. This is supported by a 5-year guarantee, which provides additional assurance regarding product longevity and support. Housing cooperatives have reported smoother installations and reduced maintenance requirements with Zaptec hardware.

• Reliability: Zaptec Go 2 has demonstrated 99.9 percent uptime across more than 600,000 charge points in Europe. This level of reliability helps ensure that fleet vehicles are consistently ready for use.
• Remote management: Enhanced 4G connectivity enables remote monitoring, over-the-air updates, and troubleshooting, which can reduce the need for on-site maintenance and minimise downtime.
• Accurate billing: MID-certified metering supports clear separation of business and personal charging for drivers who charge at home, simplifying the reimbursement process for both drivers and employers.
• Future-readiness: Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) readiness and ISO 15118 compliance prepare fleets for emerging energy management technologies, such as exporting stored energy back to the grid. Zaptec Go 2 includes this capability as standard, supporting future operational flexibility.
• OCPP connectivity: OCPP compliance ensures that fleet operators can integrate Zaptec Go 2 with a variety of fleet management and billing platforms.

MID (Measuring Instruments Directive) certification is becoming a legal requirement for new EV charge point installations in the UK. MID-certified meters ensure that all energy consumption is measured accurately and transparently, which is essential for fair billing and regulatory compliance. For housing providers and fleet operators, this means greater confidence in the accuracy of energy usage data, reduced risk of disputes, and alignment with upcoming UK standards. Zaptec Go 2 includes MID-certified metering as standard, supporting both operational transparency and future regulatory requirements.

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology enables electric vehicles to not only draw power from the grid but also return stored energy back to it. This capability is expected to play a significant role in future energy management, allowing fleets and housing developments to participate in grid balancing and potentially generate additional revenue. Zaptec Go 2 is V2G-ready and ISO 15118 compliant, meaning it is equipped to support these advanced applications as soon as compatible vehicles and grid services become available. This positions users to take advantage of future opportunities in energy flexibility and smart grid participation.

Zaptec Go 2’s solar integration allows home-charging fleet drivers and housing residents to utilise renewable energy, which can reduce charging costs and carbon emissions. Smart energy management features help optimise the use of available solar power and support compliance with UK sustainability targets. Users of Zaptec chargers with solar integration have reported significant reductions in both energy costs and environmental impact.

Zaptec Go 2 combines Nordic durability with a track record of successful deployments across Europe. Its features are designed to meet UK regulatory requirements and operational needs, making it a practical choice for housing providers and fleet operators seeking a robust and adaptable EV charging solution.

For housing, Zaptec Go 2 offers compliance, accurate billing, flexible integration, and reduced maintenance requirements. For fleets, it provides high uptime, remote management, transparent reimbursement, and readiness for future energy applications. For both sectors, Zaptec Go 2 supports lower total cost of ownership and long-term operational reliability.

Zaptec Go 2 is positioned as a strategic infrastructure choice for organizations seeking an EV charging solution that meets current needs and is prepared for future developments.
