zappi14 operation and installation manualOperationSmart BoostThe Smart Boost function will charge the EV with a minimum kWh figure by a set time. Smart Boost is available only in ECO andECO+ modes.The Smart Boost function does not bring the battery to a certain state of charge. The target kWh is only theenergy added during the charging session.When in ECO or ECO+ mode, each press of the button will cycle through the boost options as illustrated below:Example: It's a sunny Sunday and you wish to ensure there is enough charge in the EV to get to work in the morning (e.g.15kWh), but in the meantime, you want to use the surplus energy from the PV system to charge the car, so you choose to useECO+ mode. At sunset there was only 10kWh of charge accumulated. However, because you activated Smart Boost, and setthe time you needed to leave for work, zappi automatically boosted the charge in the night to top up the battery to therequired 15kWh by 7am.Activating Smart Boost1. When charging in ECO or ECO+ mode, press until SMART BOOST is shown.2. The SMART BOOST icon will show including the set energyamount in kWh s and the target time, (17kWh s and 7amrespectively, in this example screen shot).3. zappi will then test the EV for a few seconds, to determinethe maximum charge rate.4. The boost will start at the latest possible time to achieve the set energy amount, if the current charge sessionhas already accumulated enough energy, the boost will not be required and so will not operate.The required energy and target time can be altered only when Smart Boost is not active. Theses settings are in theCharge Settings/Smart Boost menu option.
