Wallbox, a provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, has recently certified its Supernova dc fast charger for conformity according to Germany’s Eichrecht regulation.
The Eichrecht certification is a German regulation ensuring that public EV chargers accurately measure and bill the energy dispensed to consumers. It provides transparency and trust in charging infrastructure, setting standards for fair and reliable energy transactions.
This certification marks a significant step toward Wallbox’s expansion into dc fast-charging in one of Europe’s largest EV markets and the launch of Wallbox’s highest Power-to-Footprint ratio charger to date. It’s crucial for any company looking to sell chargers designed for the public segment in Germany.
Additionally, the Eichrecht certification opens other commercial opportunities to the company across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) where customers often opt to invest in Eichrecht-certified chargers, even where they’re not strictly mandatory.
According to Rho Motion, Europe’s largest market for EV charging in Europe, Germany will have over 22,000 dc fast chargers on the market by the end of this year. Rho Motion projects that there will be 150,000 further dc fast chargers sold in the country within the next ten years — a growth of over 680%.
The Eichrecht certification is a multistage process for all public EV chargers in Germany that bill users for the energy dispensed. It ensures accuracy in energy measurement and billing, providing consumers with transparency and trust in public charging infrastructure. The certification of Supernova represents a significant milestone for Wallbox, as it becomes the third product in the portfolio to achieve Eichrecht compliance and the first fast charger to receive this certification.
