Electric vehicle charging pile will implement accurate measurement in Germany

, according to foreign media reports, from April 1, Germany must be equipped with electric vehicle charging pile of KWH meter calibration function and accurate calculations. This device is AC ( Namely, & other Alternating current (ac) & throughout; ） The problem is not big for charging pile, but for fast charging pile operators is a big challenge: no corresponding instruments.

and for the customer, this change is significant: electricity be clear at a glance. With this device, the fast charging pile used in charge on time may be cancelled. But the problem is that of charging far more quickly than the AC charging pile dc charging technique is not perfect, as operators Ionity network spokesman said & other; There is no definite measurable. ”

Volkswagen, BMW, Daimler and ford has now joined the fast charging stations along the highway construction network layout. The enterprise has consulted with state calibration department, and plans to run the equipment in the spring. Ionity currently operates 55 charging stations in eight countries, the average charging stations have four to six piles.

, according to official figures by the end of 2018, Germany has more than 16100 charging points, 12% were fast charging pile. However, the ministry of economic affairs nationwide only when it comes to about 8000 public charging pile, even it is not clear how many of these charging pile is out of the specification. Authorities said the operator must surrender to the reconstruction plan of the norm of the dc pile, then the calibration department answer for the plan, and set a deadline. Reconstruction is completed, charging station can continue running.

couldn't immediately be modified due to technical difficulties of charging station, will not be forcibly closed or dismantled & ndash; — As authorities realized that not all of the charging station can be closed. “ We temporarily not affected. ” Ionity spokesman said, but the transformation is a must, and the cost to date is unknown, but analysis according to the personage inside course of study may need to millions of euros.

in general, the electric car industry is facing more serious challenges. For example, the new Volkswagen subsidiary green electricity Elli provides not only the charging infrastructure, also to provide customers with green electricity. “ If no one else to do, you have to yourself. ” Auto industry experts Stefan Bratzel, said the current manufacturers and the public sector appeared & other; Huge oversight & throughout; In the electric car mobile side, German manufacturers have been waiting for a long time, & other; Hope someone can build infrastructure. ”

auto experts Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer, said a major breakthrough in the discovery of electric cars are expected in 2021 or 2022. “ We need the government planning. ” Even at present in the next five years, he complains, charging infrastructure and charging stations expansion plans. Bratzel explained that the carmaker will become a mobile service provider. Tesla founder Elon Musk years ago, was introduced for battery production and quick charge network & other; Super factory & throughout; 。
