This draft report sets out Parliament's amendments to the proposed directive updating the Measuring Instruments Directive for electric vehicle supply equipment, gas dispensers and energy meters. It clarifies that metrological control applies to data, not remote channels, and limits certain requirements to direct sales and public billing installations. It changes EVSE accuracy class labels from A, B, C to X, Y, Z and raises minimum measured quantity thresholds for DC chargers. It also broadens definitions for gas and electricity meters and allows cloud-based systems for presenting measurement data.

Committee position. The rapporteur proposes amendments to the Commission's proposal, focusing on clarifying metrological control, limiting requirements to direct sales and public billing, updating definitions, and adjusting technical thresholds.

Key points

  1. The report adopts a position amending the Commission proposal on measuring instruments for EVSE, gas dispensers and energy meters.
  2. It adds a recital stating the directive does not impose retrofitting obligations on existing charging stations, only a harmonised framework for new equipment.
  3. It clarifies that metrological control applies to data itself, not the remote channel, and that controlled data may be sent via remote channels.
  4. It limits the requirement to present measurement data to EVSE used for direct sales and allows cloud-based systems for data presentation.
  5. It redefines gas meters as measuring volume or mass only, not energy, and active electrical energy meters as measuring energy consumed and delivered in a circuit.
  6. It applies Annex Va requirements to EVSE for residential, commercial and light industrial use, except where specified otherwise.
  7. It allows EVSE to use separately type-approved meters that meet or exceed the measuring system's accuracy and reliability requirements.
  8. It replaces EVSE class indices A, B, C with X, Y, Z to avoid confusion with other meter classes.
  9. It raises the minimum measured quantity (MMQ) thresholds for EVSE to 2 kWh for one range and 5 kWh for another.
  10. It broadens calibration compensation to parts of the EVSE, applies it only to public charging where billing is based on energy delivered, and extends protection to any replaceable component.
  11. It requires ancillary devices used during charging to comply with the table's requirements and mandates display in kilowatt-hours or megawatt-hours.

Who is affected

  • Manufacturers of electric vehicle supply equipment, who face new classification and measurement requirements.
  • Operators of public charging stations, who must meet calibration compensation requirements when billing by energy delivered.
  • Manufacturers of gas and electricity meters, whose product definitions are updated.
  • Existing charging stations are not required to be retrofitted.

Figures and deadlines

  • MMQ ≤ 2 kWh for one class of EVSE measuring systems.
  • MMQ ≤ 5 kWh for another class.
