ENERANDO Clarifies MID and Eichrecht Charging Standards
ENERANDO distinguishes between MID and Eichrecht-compliant charging stations, guiding customers on selections based on billing needs. MID is suitable for simpler schemes, while Eichrecht is for legally compliant, third-party billing.
ENERANDO, a company focusing on electric vehicle charging infrastructure, has clarified the differences between charging stations compliant with the MID (Measuring Instruments Directive) and those meeting the stricter German Eichrecht regulations.
The company explains that MID-compliant chargers are suitable for straightforward billing scenarios, such as employer-employee or landlord-tenant relationships, offering a high level of measurement accuracy recognized across the EU.
For applications requiring legally mandated precision and tamper-proof measures, particularly when billing multiple user groups or implementing complex tariffs, ENERANDO recommends Eichrecht-compliant chargers. This German standard ensures traceability and security throughout the entire metering process.
ENERANDO offers its 11-22 kW AC wallboxes in both MID and full Eichrecht-compliant versions, tailored for properties, corporate sites, and parking facilities. The company emphasizes the importance of selecting the appropriate standard to avoid costly future upgrades as billing requirements evolve.
