Can I earn EREs with a separate MID meter?

An external MID meter in the cabinet does not count for EREs by default. This explains when it does, and why that is mostly a business situation.

To earn EREs, every charged kWh has to be measured by a MID-certified meter. That is why the charger check gives one short answer per model: if your charger has a built-in MID meter you can earn EREs, and if it does not, you cannot.

The question that usually follows: I do have a separate meter in the cabinet, does that not count?

A separate meter does not count by default

No. An external MID meter in the cabinet does not automatically make your charger eligible for EREs. It can only count if a certified installer fitted that meter and can prove it.

In practice that happens almost only in a business setting, where the installation is delivered and documented by an installer anyway. So for an ordinary home charger the answer is nearly always the same: no built-in MID meter, no EREs.
