What is energy metering?
EV chargers deliver electric energy to EVs to charge their battery. The BMS (Battery Management System) of an EV acts as the master while the EVSE (charger) is the slave in the communication about the actual voltage and current levels, at which the battery is charged. In order to determine the delivered electric energy, the charger measures the electric current and voltage during the whole charge session in many small time periods, multiplies these 3 units, and adds up the energy values up to the accumulated delivered energy. The charger uses a particular measurement device and related sensors to accurately measure the required electric parameters internally.
What is MID?
MID stands for the European Measurement Instruments Directive 2014/32/EU, which specifies in a generic way the accuracy classes of all kind of measurement instruments, amongst which AC electricity meters. Note that the MID does not yet s
