Norwegian charging technology company Zaptec has introduced the Zaptec Go 2 in the United Kingdom, describing it as the country’s first vehicle-to-grid (V2G)-ready AC charger designed for both residential and commercial use.
The Go 2, now available to order, supports 3-phase charging at up to 22 kW and complies with ISO 15118, enabling plug-and-charge and bidirectional energy communication. While carmakers are still activating V2G functionality, Zaptec said the unit has been built to support the transition.
The charger features dynamic load balancing to avoid grid upgrades, subscription-free 4G connectivity, OCPP 1.6J compliance for platform integration, and solar compatibility through energy management apps. It is also MID-certified with an in-built screen to anticipate upcoming UK rules on certified metering for billing and salary sacrifice schemes.
Zaptec said the Go 2 will receive over-the-air updates and can serve a range of applications, from residential driveways to fleet charging and local authority projects. Founded in Norway, the company has sold more than 650,000 chargers across Europe and was named the continent’s leading home EV charger brand in 2025 by research firm LCP Delta.
“With Zaptec Go 2, we’re launching more than just a charger. We’re giving people confidence in their EV future,” said Michael Braybrook, Managing Director UK at Zaptec. “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.”
