AI:What changed, in short
Adds new requirements for EVSE and gas dispensers to present measurement results and data via remote channels, and for CG dispensers to have a minimum flow rate ratio of 10.191024 Modifies existing provisions on traceability, tampering evidence, and use of measurement results for price calculation, and changes class indices for EVSE from A/B/C to X/Y/Z.2357 Updates the introductory scope of Annex Va to 'unless specified otherwise' and adjusts the requirement for ancillary devices in point 5.3.1422 The other changes are formal: moving definitions between annexes, removing explanatory notes, and renumbering paragraphs.46811

Part 2 of 3: Paragraphs 61–80
Annex IV, Annex Va – point 2 – paragraph 5 – indent 3: – the MMQ range shall be: MMQ ≤ 5 kWh.
Change 17
Removed:Current MMQ thresholds do not reflect the technical reality of modern EV charging. For high-power DC chargers, very low MMQ values are not technically feasible and may lead to inaccurate measurements during the ramp-up phase. Adjusting the MMQ ensures reliable and realistic energy measurement, while still protecting consumers. For AC chargers, lower MMQ remains appropriate due to lower power levels and longer charging times.
Directive 2014/32/EU
Change 18
Removed:Values for accuracy as presented in Annex Va table 1 with a dynamic range of only 10 between “minimum current” and “maximum current” are already obsolete today. Most EVSE are meant for a broad range of cars with different battery technologies, battery sizes, states of charge and temperatures.
Directive 2014/32/EU
Annex IV, Annex Va – point 4 – paragraph 1 – introductory part: A measuring system for EVSE that applies corrections to compensate for energy loss introduced by parts of the EVSE shall do either of the following:
Change 19
Removed:The amendment broadens the reference to “parts of the EVSE” to cover all components as we do not see a reason to only cover cables and connectors. This allows replacements— to be carried out without requiring reapproval by local or national authorities. It avoids unnecessary delays, ensures efficient maintenance, and preserves metrological reliability.
Directive 2014/32/EU
Annex IV, Annex Va – point 4 – paragraph 1 a (new): Calibration compensation requirements shall apply exclusively to public EVCS installations where billing is based on the energy delivered to the vehicle’s battery.
Change 20
Removed:This ensures accurate billing in commercial contexts while avoiding unnecessary obligations for private or non-commercial installations, supporting proportional and targeted regulation.
Directive 2014/32/EU
Annex IV, Annex Va – point 4 – paragraph 1 b (new): Protection requirements shall apply to any component that may influence calibration and is subject to field replacement.
Change 21
Removed:It preserves measurement integrity while allowing for practical maintenance and replacement without unnecessary regulatory burden.
Directive 2014/32/EU
Change 22
Changed:Annex IV, Annex Va – point 5.3 – – paragraph 32a (new): When ancillary devices that are a part of EVSE are used during a charging session, they mustshall comply with the requirements set out in theTable table4 above.of this point.
Change 23
Removed:It promotes consistent performance across all components of the EVSE system, aligning with the directive's objectives for reliable and transparent electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Directive 2014/32/EU
Annex IV, Annex Va – point 6 – paragraph 1: The electrical energy measured shall be displayed at least in kilowatt-hours or in megawatt-hours.
Change 24
Added:Directive 2014/32/EU
Added:Annex VI, ANNEX VIIa – paragraph 1 – point b: (b) for CG dispensers, the ratio between the maximum and minimum flow rate shall be no less than 10.
