ZipCharge is developing a mobile app to manage the Go charger, including scheduling it to charge in advance.Ĭustomers will be able to buy it outright – at a price to be confirmed – or subscribe with prices starting from £49 a month. It also has bi-directional functionality, so it can be used to store cheap off-peak energy and then feed it back into the grid during peak times – making owners money in the process. The firm will offer lithium-ion battery capacities between 4kWh and 8kWh, and says a 20-mile charge will take around 30 minutes. Once a car is charged, the ZipCharge Go is light enough to lift up and store in its boot.

It can also be used in all weather conditions. The charger can be wheeled in and out of homes – and it is locked into a car’s EV charging port so the unit is secured with the car. Game-changing © Provided by Motoring Electric ZipCharge, founded by two engineers with a CV that includes work at McLaren, Jaguar Land Rover, Lotus and LEVC, says it is on-track to deliver the first units to customers within a year. This is more than enough for the average UK daily commute, says the firm. Resembling a wheeled suitcase, the ZipCharge Go can provide up to 20 miles’ EV range per charge. Launched at COP26, ZipCharge is targeting the 40 percent of UK households – 8.5 million of them – who don’t have designated off-street parking. The new ZipCharge Go is a portable, suitcase-sized electric car charger that ‘brings the possibility of home charging to all’.
