I mean, it's a bit more than a contactor and an RCD, it also has PEN fault detection because TN-C-S is how most of us are wired up to the grid. Then for use with smart tariffs like IOG there's a microcontroller, cloud gateway for them to hook into for OCCP to turn on and off the charger when the grid is cheapest/greenest etc. So £600 is about right, once you add in R&D, certification, profit margin, warranty claim % etc.

  That's odd - I've got the Zappi and it works perfectly with Intelligent Octopus Go. Plug the car in, have a HomeAssistant automation that detects this and sets the "charge to add" on Octopus and enjoy the car being charged the next morning. I always recommend hardwiring it though, rather than relying on Wifi through a brick wall.
