On 10 July 2025, an AC charge controller was successfully EEBUS-qualified for the first time at the Living Lab Cologne of EEBUS e.V. – specifically, a Bender CC612 charge controller.
The qualification applies to all Bender charge controllers with firmware version 5.34.1 or higher and an Ethernet connection.
This means that the devices support standardised communication in accordance with IEC 63380 and are ideal for integration into energy management systems – especially in the context of the legal requirements under Section 14a of the German Energy Industry Act (EnWG).
