I-Charging Achieves Eichrecht Certification for Distributed DC Fast Charging Solution
The certification addresses billing accuracy requirements for overhead and gantry charging setups used by commercial fleets.
Portuguese EV charging infrastructure company i-charging has achieved Eichrecht certification for its e-flow distributed DC fast charging solution, enabling compliant billing-accurate charging in configurations previously difficult to implement.
What Happened
I-charging announced that its e-flow distributed charging architecture has received Eichrecht certification under Germany's calibration law. The system combines an accessible e-flow control unit containing user-facing functions—including meter visibility, authentication, charging information and payment interaction—with multiple satellite units each capable of delivering up to 800 A. This architecture allows satellites to be installed independently where they best support charging operations, while keeping the customer interface in a convenient location.
Why It Matters
Eichrecht certification guarantees that energy delivered—and therefore amounts billed to customers—is measured accurately and traceably. The standard has become a benchmark for billing-transparent charging across Europe. For fleet operators and commercial vehicle applications using overhead charging systems, gantries and other infrastructure layouts where direct access to dispensers is impractical, this solution provides regulatory compliance without requiring compromises in facility design.
The Bottom Line
The certification demonstrates that operators no longer need to choose between regulatory compliance and flexible infrastructure configurations. According to CEO Pedro Moreira da Silva, the separation of user interface from dispensers while maintaining full Eichrecht compliance enables new charging setups for commercial vehicle applications.
