Stekker strengths
- Publishes a log of its ERE sales
Watch-outs
- 25% commission when combined with smart charging
- Terms: commission excl. VAT where VAT is due
- Sign-up form says quarterly payout; the terms (art. 7.6) say annually in Q1
Joulo strengths
- Quarterly payout
- Commission falls yearly to 17%, to 10% with referrals
- Cancel free of charge, also in year one, ending at the latest one month later
Watch-outs
- Without choosing immediate termination, cancellation takes effect on 31 December
- Switching to another provider is only possible from 1 January; after an immediate termination nobody can book the rest of that year's kWh for that EAN
