Delta, a global provider of power management and IoT-based smart solutions, announced that its 500-kW Ultra-Fast EV Charger UFC 500 Series has secured German Eichrecht certification, making it a highly compact fast charger that complies with Germany’s stringent metrology standards.
Eichrecht, or the German Weights and Measurement Act, mandates that the charge-point operators (CPOs) operate certified EV chargers with calibrated energy metering systems to guarantee fair and accurate billing. With this certification, the UFC 500 enables legally compliant energy transactions, offering peace of mind to operators and ensuring that drivers pay only for the energy consumed.
This certification includes the signature of the tariff set by the CPO for charging sessions started with credit card-based ad-hoc payment transactions. This will be reflected in the data set that customers can prove on the transparency software (from the S.A.F.E. e.v.), pairing the energy and tariff in the data transaction record.
This integration creates legal certainty for the CPO while operating Delta Charging Stations, complying with the German Weights and Measurement Act and, at the same time, ensuring compliance with AFIR. This milestone underscores Delta’s commitment to providing transparent, accurate, and secure energy solutions for Charging Point Operators (CPOs) and EV drivers, setting a benchmark for reliability and compliance in the fast-evolving EV charging industry.
Building on the already certified UFC 200, the UFC 500 solidifies Delta’s position as one of the few manufacturers meeting these rigorous requirements. The certification covers Module B approval for design and Module D approval for the production process, highlighting the product’s quality from concept to delivery.
Ensuring performance
The UFC 500 is a high-performance dc compact charging station, designed to offer unparalleled convenience and efficiency. Its ability to deliver up to 500 kW of power to a single EV, or 250 kW simultaneously to two EVs, meets the growing demand for faster charging times across a range of applications, from premium passenger cars to trucks and fleet vehicles.
The SiCMOS technology ensures high conversion efficiency, while its compact and lightweight design simplifies installation and maintenance.
Engineered for all-weather reliability with IP55-certified protection, the UFC 500 offers operators a robust, durable solution for high-demand charging environments. It integrates seamlessly with existing networks, energy management systems, and backward-compatible setups, making it a future-ready investment for CPOs.
