If you have a project where standard, manually-read check meters are being fitted by an installation contractor, and you wish to upgrade to Smart Metering – simply specify “Smart Meters with MeterOnline SIM Pre-fitted”.

Key Reasons to Smart Meter
EV Chargers

(RFID, PAYG or Unmetered Chargers in Workplace Carparks)

1. Independently Account for Charging Costs

Using MID/MIR certified Smart Meters to monitor all charge points connected to a building’s supply gives a reliable independent record of the electricity used for EV charging. The total kWh used will be accurately recorded regardless of the type of charge points connected. Certified meters allow the meter readings to be used for financial purposes when accounting for charging costs.

2. Maintenance and Safety Monitoring

Independent Smart Metered systems allow for remote monitoring, making it easier to track maintenance needs and ensure chargers are functioning safely and efficiently.

3. Data Compliance

Under the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), if a business uses government funding for installation, they must ensure they comply with data reporting and usage regulations, which is easier with Smart Metering.

4. Accurate Sustainability Reporting

To meet Net Zero goals, businesses can use meter data to accurately calculate the carbon footprint reduction achieved by the workplace charging infrastructure.

5. Fair Usage

Smart Metering continuously records half hourly data, allowing companies to set usage policies, ensure fair access to chargers, and detect unauthorised use.

6. Energy Management and Load Balancing

Smart Metering of EV chargers can track usage throughout the day, helping to manage energy peaks and prevent overloading the supply. They can also provide data to optimise charging to take advantage of lower, off-peak electricity tariffs.
