# When is a smart charge point suitable for ERE registration?

Not every smart charge point qualifies for ERE. For private individuals an integrated MID meter is decisive, plus kWh export and your own grid connection.

Charge point Eligibility

In short

-   For private individuals, an integrated MID-certified meter is decisive; a smart charge point without such a meter usually does not qualify.
-   The other conditions are that you can export charging sessions in kWh, own the grid connection, and the charge point is in the Netherlands.
-   The charger check gives a quick indication based on brand and model; the ERE provider always makes the definitive assessment.

A smart charge point is convenient, but not every smart charge point automatically qualifies for ERE. For private individuals, the decisive factor is an integrated MID-certified meter.

## Smart doesn’t automatically mean suitable

“Smart” is about connectivity and control, not about the meter. For ERE, the charge point must measure the kWh charged reliably and fraud-resistantly with an integrated MID meter. A smart charge point without such a meter usually does not qualify.

## When is it suitable?

-   The charge point has an **integrated MID meter**.
-   You can **export the charging sessions in kWh**.
-   You **own the grid connection**.
-   The charge point is located **in the Netherlands**.

## Not sure?

Do the charger check for a quick indication based on brand and model. The definitive assessment is always done by the ERE provider.
