Does my charger have a MID meter?
How to check in two minutes whether your charger has a factory-fitted MID meter: type plate, brand list and the charger check.
By Johan Trip and Ruben Stolk · updated
ERE registration has one hard technical requirement: your charger has a MID-certified meter, factory-fitted. Without that meter your charging sessions are not reliable enough to register with the NEa. Here is how to check your charger in two minutes.
The fastest route: check your brand and model
Use the charger check. Pick your brand and variant and see immediately whether your charger qualifies for ERE registration. The check is based on our catalog per brand, model and variant.
Checking yourself: the type plate
Look at the sticker or type plate on your charger. A MID-certified meter carries the metrology marking: the letter M with a year inside a rectangle (for example M24), next to the CE marking. Note: CE alone is not enough • it says nothing about the meter. No M marking? Check the manual or spec sheet for "MID" or the meter standard "EN 50470".
Three practical examples:
- Tesla Wall Connector: the MID variant has a part number starting with 1529455-5. - Zaptec: the Go 2 and the Pro have a MID meter as standard. The original Go does not. - Easee: the Charge Max and Charge Pro do, older Easee models do not.
Which chargers have a factory-fitted MID meter?
Among others: Tesla Wall Connector Gen 3 MID, Zaptec Go 2 and Zaptec Pro, Easee Charge Max and Charge Pro, the Alfen Eve series, Peblar Home Plus and Business, Volt Time, Blue Current, NexBlue, Ecotap and Ohme. Within one brand it often differs per variant: the Smappee EV Wall is MID as an EVWC article number, but not as an older EVW or EVWL number. So always verify your exact model with the charger check.
No MID meter? These are your options
1. A charger with a factory-fitted MID meter. An installer from the Joulo network replaces your charger, from € 1,099 installed after trade-in. See the fixed offer per brand or request a quote. 2. A Secondary Allocation Point (SAP) with your grid operator. A one-off € 280.82 at Liander or € 629.09 at Enexis, then € 46.06 or € 30.08 per year. Stedin makes a quote. You take out your own energy contract on the new metering point. Only the grid operator's meter counts.
A separate sub-meter in the meter cupboard is not a valid registration route for home charging. And note: registration only covers kWh the MID meter itself has measured. Sessions from before the meter never count, not even retroactively. Your charging sessions count from the moment the new meter is there.
What you read everywhere, and what's true
- “A MID meter in the meter cupboard usually doesn't qualify.”
- For home charging never, not usually. Your charger itself must have a MID meter.
- “You have to provide proof of MID certification.”
- The certificate belongs to the meter type, not to your unit. The provider gets it from the manufacturer.
- “Sessions from before your MID meter still count.”
- Counting starts at the MID meter. What was charged before never counts later.
