The Eichrecht certification is crucial for any company looking to sell chargers designed for the public segment in Germany. The certification opens other commercial opportunities to the company across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) where customers often opt to invest in Eichrecht-certified chargers, even where they’re not strictly mandatory. This is due in part to the certification's reputation for ensuring accuracy and reliability and in part to future proof infrastructure.

According to Rho Motion, Germany, Europe’s largest market for EV charging in Europe, will have over 22,000 DC fast chargers on the market by the end of this year. Rho Motion projects that there will be 150,000 further DC fast chargers sold in the country within the next ten years - a growth of over 680%.

"With Germany's expansion of EV infrastructure, dependable fast-charging solutions such as Supernova will be crucial to support the rising demand for quick and efficient charging options," said Enric Asunción, CEO of Wallbox. "Supernova’s Eichrecht certification in Germany underscores the advanced technology and precision engineering behind our DC fast charger and will open doors for Wallbox in Germany and the broader DACH region.”

The Eichrecht certification is a multistage process for all public EV chargers in Germany that bill users for the energy dispensed. The certification ensures accuracy in energy measurement and billing, providing consumers with transparency and trust in public charging infrastructure. The certification of Supernova represents a significant milestone for Wallbox, as it becomes the third product in the portfolio to achieve Eichrecht compliance and the first fast charger to receive this certification.
