smart-me System and Third-Party Stations

E-mobility in the smart-me ZEV (association for own consumption) / tenant electricity with third-party charging stations

Description of the load management solution in the metering concept with third-party charging stations​

When third-party hardware is used, smart-me does not handle the load management. The manufacturer of the charging hardware offers its own metering solution for control.

Within a smart-me ZEV (association for own consumption) / tenant electricity setup, you should expect that at the points marked by the red arrows, additional meter hardware for control will have to be installed alongside the smart-me meters used for the ZEV / tenant electricity calculation.

If, however, load management is not provided by the respective manufacturer but handled by third-party software, the smart-me meters can also serve as a reference and source of information for the third-party hardware.

Billing of e-mobility in the ZEV / tenant electricity​

Billing can be carried out in different ways, each with its specific advantages and disadvantages:

  • Billing with a single-rate or multi-rate system in the ZEV (association for own consumption) with smart-me Billing, either separately or together with the apartment consumption (depending on the third-party hardware).

  • Billing with a single-rate system using the post-payment method and the eCarUp Backend.

  • Billing with a single rate using highly automated credit card billing and the eCarUp Backend.
