Electric submetering regulations for commercial dispensing of electricity as a fuel, type certification and testing program development

The standards development process for NIST Handbook 44–3.40 relies on clear definitions, procedures and equipment specifications. This standard covers commercial dispensing of electricity as a fuel. Similar to the need 100+ years ago to create a repeatable method for verifying accuracy of dispensed liquid fuels, commercial transactions for ‘fueling’ an electric vehicle need to be regulated and certified by state weights and measures officials. This paper describes ANL submeter technology developments, metering and transaction reporting requirements for HB44 as well as the development of a National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP), applied to AC, DC and wireless charging equipment.
