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.
What are the options if the check says your charger cannot earn EREs?
Private: only a MID meter in the charger counts
If you charge as a private individual, a charger without a built-in MID meter earns no EREs. That does not change with:
- a separate MID meter in the fuse box;
- a separate connection or a secondary allocation point (its own EAN code) for your charger.
To earn EREs, you need a charger with a built-in MID meter. Which models have one is listed in Which chargers have a MID meter?
Business: a separate meter or a secondary allocation point
For a business, an exception applies to a connection or secondary allocation point that is used exclusively to supply electricity for transport. An external MID meter can only count if a certified installer fitted that meter and this can be proven. See also the ‘Codebesluit MLOEA’ of the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM).
The Codebesluit makes it possible to create a secondary allocation point behind the connection. Each secondary allocation point gets its own EAN code and a matching meter. This way the electricity supplied to different installations can be split administratively, without separate main connections.
You submit a request for a secondary allocation point to your grid operator. Stekker assesses whether your installation is suitable for earning EREs and follows the guidelines of the NEa and the auditor.
