  • Help you avoid parking fines with its parking meter alerts of meter expirations.

Car Battery Health Monitor: When plugged in, the ZUS charger reads the car battery voltage and displays it on the ZUS app in both real-time and as historical data. The app will alert users of battery issues and complications.

Multi-ZUS Connection: Users can now add multiple ZUS units to their car so that they no longer need to unplug or re-plug ZUS when they change cars. Users can get a ZUS for each car and the users phone will automatically connect to the ZUS in the car.

Family Share: Any ZUS user can now share their ZUS account with family member or friends who can then view the sender’s real-time parking location.

Reversible USB Ports: The new ZUS version has reversible USB ports so users can plug in their charging cables from any direction.
