Charging station with kWh meter: Accurately measure and settle energy consumption
Welcome to Accu-Machine.nl, the specialist in smart and transparent charging solutions for electric cars. A charging station with a kWh meter is an essential feature for both business and private use. This built-in energy meter accurately records how much power is consumed per charging session, which is essential for insight, cost management, and, if necessary, the correct settlement of charging costs.
Choose a charging station with an integrated kWh meter and gain complete control and transparency over your charging consumption. Whether you want to reclaim charging costs from your employer, track the consumption of various users, or simply gain detailed insight into your own energy consumption, a charging station with a kWh meter offers the solution.
Why choose a charging station with a kWh meter?
A charging station with a kWh meter offers crucial benefits that go beyond just charging your car:
-
Accurate Billing: Essential for reclaiming charging costs from your employer, leasing company, or for correctly billing guest users (e.g., in apartment complexes or at businesses). Many meters are MID-certified , meaning they are legally recognized for billing purposes.
-
Complete Consumption Insight: Get detailed statistics on how much power your electric car uses per charging session, day, week, or month. This helps you monitor and optimize your energy costs.
-
Energy management: Combine consumption data with other smart features like load balancing or smart charging for even more efficient energy management of your home or business.
-
Transparency: Creates clarity and trust in situations where multiple users share charging points.
-
Optimization: With insight into your consumption, you can adjust your charging behavior to take advantage of off-peak hours or solar energy, for example.
How does an integrated kWh meter work in a charging station?
A charging station with a built-in kWh meter measures the amount of electricity flowing through the charging station to the car. This meter functions just like the energy meter in your meter box, but is specific to the charging station.
The collected data can be accessed in several ways:
-
Via the Charging Station App: Many modern charging stations communicate consumption data wirelessly to a smartphone app, where you can view overviews and reports.
-
Via an Online Portal (Backoffice): Especially for business charging stations or charging stations for multiple users, the data is forwarded to an online management platform (often via OCPP). This enables automated billing and comprehensive reporting.
-
Directly Readable: Some charging stations have a small display on which the current consumption can be read directly.
For business applications or billing purposes, it's crucial that the kWh meter is MID-certified . This guarantees that the measurement complies with the European directives for measuring instruments, which is essential for billing.
Universal Compatibility and Charging Speed
Our charging stations with kWh meters are universally compatible with all electric cars and plug-in hybrids in Europe. They are equipped with the standardized Type 2 connection for AC charging (alternating current), the standard for both home and public charging stations.
You will find charging stations with this functionality in various capacities:
-
1-phase charging stations (3.7 kW or 7.4 kW): These are often equipped with a kWh meter to provide insight into consumption with a lighter connection.
-
3-phase charging stations (11 kW or 22 kW): The most common options with a kWh meter, especially for business use or larger homes.
