Zaptec launches the UK’s first V2G-Ready AC Charger: A true Gateway to the Grid
The Zaptec Go 2 is a 3-phase, 22kW AC charger that’s V2G-ready, OCPP-compliant and MID-meter certified – future-proofed for the UK’s evolving EV landscape.
[London, UK – 02 September 2025] 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.
Built for the future, ready today
The Zaptec Go 2 not only charges your EV, but it also 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 is a huge step forward and 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 and efficient 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.
“With Zaptec Go 2, we’re launching more than just a charger. We’re giving people confidence in their EV future. It’s a product designed to meet the needs of drivers today, and tomorrow. It 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 Zaptec Go 2 also receives over-the-air updates, so features can evolve with the market and deliver more value with future advancements.
Future-ready for homes, fleets and everything in between
As the UK scales up its EV infrastructure and energy goals, the Zaptec Go 2 is ideally suited to support the shift. It can be used for charging on the driveway, electrifying fleet domestic charging, or supporting a wider rollout by local councils or residential developers.
It's already proving popular among forward-thinking partners who want a charger that’s easy to install, smart to operate, and fully compliant with future developments in the charging market. The Zaptec Go 2 is now available to order immediately in the UK.
