Background
As Europe accelerates the transition to electric mobility, transparency and accuracy in public EV charging have become increasingly important — especially when it comes to energy measurement and user billing.
Among all European countries, Germany is known for implementing the most stringent regulatory framework for public charging infrastructure. Any DC charging system operating in the German market must comply with both MID (Measuring Instruments Directive) and PTB (Eichrecht) metrology requirements, ensuring precise energy measurement, transparent billing, and full consumer protection.
AONENG is proud to announce that our ultra-fast charging products have successfully obtained MID and PTB (Eichrecht) certification, marking an important milestone in our commitment to regulatory compliance, technical excellence, and readiness for the European market.
What is PTB ?
PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt) is Germany’s national metrology authority responsible for defining and supervising measurement requirements under the Eichrecht framework.
Eichrecht forms part of Germany’s Measurement and Calibration Law (MessEG) and applies to measuring instruments used in public EV charging infrastructure. It ensures that energy consumption is measured accurately and transparently, with charging data accessible and verifiable for the end user — either directly on the charger or via a compliant digital solution.
By enforcing secure data handling and transparent billing, Eichrecht guarantees fair and accurate charging for EV users. Compliance is mandatory for operators providing public charging services in Germany, and verified consumption data must also be available through the relevant e-mobility provider (EMP) application.
What are the key benefits of Eichrecht for EV drivers ?
Accurate and Fair Billing
Eichrecht ensures that energy consumption is measured precisely, protecting EV drivers from inaccurate or inconsistent charging fees.
Certified Charging Systems
Both hardware and software used in the charging station must comply with certified metrology standards, giving users confidence in the reliability of the charging process.
Transparent Access to Charging Data
Drivers can easily review and verify their charging information through on-screen displays, digital receipts, or integrated online platforms.
Beyond Germany
While Eichrecht is a mandatory requirement in Germany, its emphasis on transparency and consumer protection is increasingly shaping regulatory expectations in other European markets.

Deployed in Germany: AONENG Chargers in Operation with ladepark AM
AONENG ANDCE1-HP ultra-fast DC charging stations are now actively deployed and operating in Germany in partnership with ladepark AM.
The installation demonstrates AONENG’s readiness for Germany’s strict regulatory environment, with MID and PTB (Eichrecht)–compliant charging systems supporting transparent billing and reliable public charging operations.
The on-site deployment further validates the performance, compliance, and operational stability of the ANDCE1-HP series in real-world German charging scenarios.
