Norwegian EV charging pioneer Zaptec has launched the Zaptec Go 2 in the UK, the first Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)-capable AC charger in the country to transform the management of domestic and commercial energy. The Zaptec Go 2, as a future-proof solution to the changing electric vehicle environment, will not only be able to power EVs, but also act as a bridge to a more intelligent and sustainable grid. The company has a history of defining the future of electric mobility and energy integration with over 650,000 Zaptec solutions already on the road in Europe.

The Zaptec Go 2 is not just an ordinary charger, it is the first milestone on the way to creating a flexible energy system. The charger features V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) capability and ISO 15118, enabling it to operate based on bi-directional energy communication between electric vehicle and the grid, as well as utilize plug-and-charge functionality. The innovation paves the way to energy sharing, cost reduction, and balancing the grid in real time. With car manufacturers gearing up to enable V2G capabilities, the Zaptec Go 2 means that homes and businesses in the UK be equipped to take advantage of the benefits of two-way energy flows.

The Zaptec Go 2 also contributes to the trend of vertical integration and intelligent ecosystems in mobility and energy industries across the world. Similar to how car manufacturers are making smarter, the charging infrastructure also needs to be as intelligent as the car to facilitate hassle-free experiences for final consumers. With hardware reliability and cloud-based flexibility, Zaptec helps to close the divide between the current requirements of charging and the connected energy future. Notably, it can receive over-the-air feature updates, so customers are not purchasing a static product, but a continually developing energy tool that gains value over time. Furthermore, the Zaptec Go 2 illustrates how smart software and high-tech hardware can align to achieve groundbreaking results as the EV ecosystem develops.
