Who is NEMA?
• NEMA is the association of electrical equipment and
medical imaging manufacturers, founded in 1926 and
headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.
• 400-plus member companies
• Manufacture diverse set of products power transmission
and distribution equipment, lighting systems, factory
automation and control systems, and medical diagnostic
imaging systems.
• The U.S. electroindustry accounts for more than 7,000
manufacturing facilities, nearly 400,000 workers, and
over $100 billion in total U.S. shipments.

Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment (EVSE) Section
NEMA Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment/Systems
Section represents manufacturers of products or
assemblies installed for the purpose of safely delivering
and managing electrical energy between an electric
vehicle and an electrical source.
Purpose:
 Market Development
 Education
 Technology, application, and product standards

Key Drivers of Submetering
• To enable separate EV charging rates
• National Conference on Weights and Measures
(NCWM)
NIST Method of Sale Regulation for retail sale of
electricity as vehicle fuel (publicly accessible)
• To enable power monitoring for non-commerce
applications
The Association of Electrical and
Medical Imaging Equipment Manufacturers
Purpose of the Guide for Embedded
Metering and Communication
• The purpose is to provide guidance for EVSE’s
that include a metering function
• The EVSE incorporates a communication
protocol access to metering data
• Where codes, standards and regulatory
documents relative to EVSE metering exist, the
guide will harmonize with those standards
• The guide will develop standards where
requirements do not already exist
The Association of Electrical and
Medical Imaging Equipment Manufacturers
The Scope
• North American types of EVSE embedded meters used
in commerce and non-commerce applications
• The guide addresses different capabilities, installations
and certifications
• Tiered functionality for embedded meters including
tamper resistance, accuracy, calibration,
communication, security, and reliability
• AC and DC charging EVSEs
The Association of Electrical and
Medical Imaging Equipment Manufacturers
Key Issues for the Guide
• Commerce versus Non-Commerce EVSE
requirements:
• Accuracy Requirements – acceptance of
proposed requirements by NIST and utilities
for billing
• Distinction of requirements for Embedded
EVSE versus separate submeters
• Metering configuration options for an EVSE
The Association of Electrical and
Medical Imaging Equipment Manufacturers
National Conference on Weights and
Measures
• Professional nonprofit association of state and
local weights and measures officials, federal
agencies, manufacturers, retailers and
consumers
• From fuel pumps to toilet paper
• Goal: uniformity in W&M laws and regulations
among states and local jurisdictions to facilitate
trade, fair competition, consumer protection
• NIST is NCWM partner and maintains relevant
Handbooks
The Association of Electrical and
Medical Imaging Equipment Manufacturers
Method of Sale Regulation
• Handbook 130 governs method of sale
 Requires retail sale of electricity as vehicle
fuel to be done by energy measure (kWh,
MJ)
 Metering required
The Association of Electrical and
Medical Imaging Equipment Manufacturers
National Conference on Weights and
Measures
Handbook 44 governs technical
requirements for measuring
Provisional Key Agreements
 Targets EVSE embedded metering only.
A “submeter” document may be needed later
 Accuracy defined and tested at coupler.
Compares calibrated tester reading with
display indication. Little or no ANSI C12
requirements would apply

National Conference on Weights and
Measures
Handbook 44 Provisional Key
Agreements (cont.)
 Tamper proof: seal and audit trail for
metrological components
 No printers, coin operations, field calibration
 Energy units: kWh only
 Billing: kWh and/or time
 Billing & Audit Information available
electronically
The Association of Electrical and
Medical Imaging Equipment Manufacturers
NEMA Standards Activities
• Monitoring consumer EV charging habits is direct
monitoring of charge time & power consumption
• The cost of an embedded meter is low relative to the
infrastructure costs required to add a separate
submeter
• The EVSE can send meter data to a remote location for
storage and developing billing information
• EV users will know what they’re paying to charge their
vehicles
The Association of Electrical and
Medical Imaging Equipment Manufacturers
NEMA Standards Activities
• NEMA is developing a guide to identify existing requirements and
provide recommendations for embedded metering
• The guide recommends a tiered functional approach for embedded
meters including tamper resistance, accuracy, calibration,
communication, security and reliability.
• The guide will recommend accuracy, test and calibration requirements
for the EVSE embedded metering
• Key performance standards related to embedded EVSE include: UL
2231 & 2594, SAE J1772, and ANCI C12
The Association of Electrical and
Medical Imaging Equipment Manufacturers
NEMA Standards Activities (cont’d)
• The new “Guide for EVSE Embedded Metering and Communication”
encompasses the North American types of meters emerging within
EVSEs
•
•
•
The stakeholders expected to benefit from the new Guide are EVSE
manufacturers, utilities, automakers, smart meter manufacturers, EV drivers,
EVSE owners, and regulators
The guide will describe methods of test and determining accuracy of commercial
EVSEs with embedded meters by measuring the performance at the charge
connector
The working group has identified gaps in existing standards and is working
diligently to close the gaps through development of new processes and
procedures
