Sandnes, 22 January 2025 – Zaptec, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of electric vehicle charging solutions, now offers its Zaptec Pro charging station for the German and Austrian markets as standard with compliance to German calibration law (Mess- und Eichrecht). This certification is a significant quality benchmark, fostering trust and providing a clear competitive advantage.
Charging stations in public spaces must ensure precise and accurate billing for charging power. The new compliant Zaptec Pro meets these strict requirements, guaranteeing secure and transparent billing for every charging session. The solution is fully approved for use in Germany and Austria, enabling operators to legally bill third parties for charging services.
The upgraded Zaptec Pro features advanced hardware and software, including a cryptographic unit that ensures secure and accurate energy measurements under all conditions. Information is displayed locally on the device and accessed via Zaptec’s services, meeting GDPR and legal requirements. This combination of robust technology and transparency offers users a reliable and secure solution.
The new Zaptec Pro is perfectly suited for environments where charging power is sold to third parties, such as public car parks, hotels, visitor parking areas, and community spaces. In Germany and Austria, this upgraded charging solution is now delivered as standard, making it ideal for semi-public and public applications.
Kurt Østrem, CEO of Zaptec, describes this as a key moment in advancing Zaptec's growth in Germany:
“This milestone underscores our ongoing efforts to strengthen our position across Europe. Achieving Eichrecht compliance is crucial for expanding our market share and unlocking the German market. It represents a fundamental achievement in our European expansion strategy.”
Daniel Gwercher, Managing Director of Zaptec Germany, adds:
"We have refined one of the safest and most reliable charging stations on the German market to meet the needs of an even broader audience. This product is designed for the semi-public and public sectors, enhanced with a crypto chip for unmatched security and our self-developed measuring capsule. For us, this is progress that really counts."
Zaptec Pro has already earned recognition across Europe as a smart charging solution. The updated version retains all the advantages of the original model, including cost-effective scalability. Operators can easily expand their charging infrastructure by adding points without significant expense, facilitated by pre-assembled backplates and intelligent power distribution technology.
Zaptec’s patented technology ensures optimal use of available power across all connected charging points, providing sufficient infrastructure for large properties and extensive parking facilities.
With the new Zaptec Pro now fully compliant with German calibration law, Zaptec has achieved a breakthrough in combining transparent, legally compliant billing with intelligent scalability, cutting-edge technology, and robust safety standards. This pioneering solution further strengthens Zaptec’s reputation as a leader in private and commercial EV charging solutions.
