Home charging from 20 to 80%: battery and onboard charger from the charging data, checked on October 6, 2026. Each model page lists its sources. ERE: kWh at 15,000 km × 0.33269 ERE per kWh × €0.460 per ERE × (1 − 20%), rounded to €5.
Comparison
Volkswagen: Wh/km and ERE per year
Wh/km is the WLTP consumption from the EEA data. ERE per year at 15,000 km charged at home follows that consumption, rounded to €5. More Wh/km means fewer kilometres per kWh, more kWh charged at the same distance and therefore more ERE. That is not an advantage: each extra kWh earns about €0.12 in ERE but costs about €0.26 in electricity at home. A more efficient car is cheaper overall. Per kWh the brand does not change earnings.

ERE
What does ERE earn with a Volkswagen?
At 15,000 km a year, all charged at home, the Volkswagen models here earn about €270 to €300 a year in ERE, after the median commission of 20%. That difference comes only from the measured consumption: the Volkswagen ID.7 at 148 Wh/km to the Volkswagen ID.4 at 163 Wh/km. More Wh/km means fewer kilometres per kWh, more kWh charged at the same distance and therefore more ERE. That is not an advantage: each extra kWh earns about €0.12 in ERE but costs about €0.26 in electricity at home. A more efficient car is cheaper overall. Per kWh the brand does not change earnings.
Per kWh, ERE earnings for a Volkswagen are the same as for every other car brand. The brand does not change that amount. Since 1 January 2026, private users need a charger with a built-in MID meter. Do the charger check

Bidirectional charging
Bidirectional charging on a Volkswagen
This is what the sources say about V2L (to a device), V2H (to your home) and V2G (to the grid). A yes applies only as the note describes it. Checked on October 6, 2026.
| Model | V2L | V2H | V2G |
|---|---|---|---|
| Volkswagen ID.4 | Yes | No | No |
| Volkswagen ID.3 | Yes | No | No |
| Volkswagen ID.7 | Yes | No | No |
Volkswagen ID.4
V2L only with ID. Software 6 (model year 2027): up to 3.6 kW via the PowerSocket adapter in the charge port. V2H and V2G are not offered in the Netherlands.
Outside the Netherlands: Elsewhere V2H via DC (77 kWh battery with ID. Software 3.5 or later, or ID. Software 6), and V2G via VW/Elli in Germany from end 2026, with France and the UK next.
Volkswagen ID.3
V2L via a 230 V socket in the car or a charge-port adapter, up to 3.6 kW, only on the ID.3 Neo with ID. Software 6. V2H and V2G are not offered in the Netherlands.
Outside the Netherlands: Elsewhere V2H via DC, and V2G through the VW/Elli package in Germany from end 2026.
Volkswagen ID.7
V2L only with ID. Software 6 (model year 2027): up to 3.6 kW via a 230 V interior socket or the PowerSocket adapter. No V2H or V2G in the Netherlands.
Outside the Netherlands: Elsewhere V2H via DC (77 and 86 kWh), and V2G via VW/Elli in Germany from end 2026.

Questions
Questions about Volkswagen
How much ERE does a Volkswagen earn per year?
As of October 18, 2026, at 15,000 km a year and all charged at home, a Volkswagen earns about €270 to €300 a year in ERE, after the median commission of 20%. Consumption is 148 to 163 Wh/km (WLTP). Per kWh, earnings are the same for every car brand: €0.122.
Which Volkswagen models are listed here?
We cover 3 Volkswagen models, in order of new registrations in the Netherlands in 2024 and 2025: the Volkswagen ID.4 (163 Wh/km, 5,339 registrations), the Volkswagen ID.3 (154 Wh/km, 5,188 registrations) and the Volkswagen ID.7 (148 Wh/km, 4,824 registrations). 15,351 registrations combined (EEA).
Which Volkswagen uses the least energy?
the Volkswagen ID.7 has the lowest consumption: 148 Wh/km (WLTP), the most kilometres per kWh of the Volkswagen models here. the Volkswagen ID.4 has the highest consumption: 163 Wh/km. Lower consumption means fewer kWh charged at the same distance and therefore less ERE, not more. The brand does not change earnings per kWh.
How is the ERE figure for a Volkswagen calculated?
At 15,000 km a year, all charged at home, after the median commission of 20%: about €270 (the Volkswagen ID.7, 148 Wh/km) to €300 (the Volkswagen ID.4, 163 Wh/km). That difference comes only from the measured consumption (Wh/km, so kilometres per kWh), not from the brand. Per kWh, earnings are the same for every car brand. Since 1 January 2026, private users need a charger with a built-in MID meter; public charging earns you no ERE.
Can I charge a Volkswagen bidirectionally?
Not for the brand as a whole, and only as the source describes it per model. V2L: yes on every model in the data. V2H: no on every model in the data. V2G: no on every model in the data. Volkswagen ID.4: V2L only with ID. Software 6 (model year 2027): up to 3.6 kW via the PowerSocket adapter in the charge port. V2H and V2G are not offered in the Netherlands. Outside the Netherlands: Elsewhere V2H via DC (77 kWh battery with ID. Software 3.5 or later, or ID. Software 6), and V2G via VW/Elli in Germany from end 2026, with France and the UK next. Volkswagen ID.3: V2L via a 230 V socket in the car or a charge-port adapter, up to 3.6 kW, only on the ID.3 Neo with ID. Software 6. V2H and V2G are not offered in the Netherlands. Outside the Netherlands: Elsewhere V2H via DC, and V2G through the VW/Elli package in Germany from end 2026. Volkswagen ID.7: V2L only with ID. Software 6 (model year 2027): up to 3.6 kW via a 230 V interior socket or the PowerSocket adapter. No V2H or V2G in the Netherlands. Outside the Netherlands: Elsewhere V2H via DC (77 and 86 kWh), and V2G via VW/Elli in Germany from end 2026. Sources: Volkswagen Newsroom, ID. Software 6, Volkswagen Newsroom, bidirectioneel laden, Autozine, PowerSocket, Volkswagen Newsroom, ID.3 Neo. Checked on October 6, 2026.
Does the car brand matter for ERE?
No. ERE depends on the kWh you charge at home and on the provider (the ERE price and the commission), never on the car brand. Per kWh, earnings for a Volkswagen are the same as for every other brand: 0.33269 ERE per kWh, at €0.460 per ERE (October 18, 2026), after the median commission of 20%, which is €0.122 per kWh. A car with higher consumption (more Wh/km, fewer kilometres per kWh) charges more kWh at the same distance and therefore earns more ERE. That difference comes from the measured consumption, not from the brand.
