Everything about ERE, in 100 questions

ERE stands for emission reduction unit, the payment EV drivers can earn for verifiable home-charging data. Since 2026 private individuals can have that data registered with the Dutch Emissions Authority through a provider (inboekdienstverlener), who then sells the EREs to parties with a CO₂ reduction obligation. What it earns depends on your charging volume and the current ERE price.

The letters ERE stand for emission reduction unit: the unit used to express CO₂ savings in transport. One ERE equals 1 kilogram of avoided CO₂ emissions, as defined under the Energy for Transport Regulation. For home charging that count is calculated using a statutory conversion factor per kWh of grid electricity, not on a one-to-one basis: your charging volume and the CO₂ it avoids together determine how many EREs a session produces.

Private individuals have been able to receive ERE for home charging since 2026, after the scheme, previously open only to business and large-scale parties, was extended to consumers. To take part you need a charge point with an integrated MID-certified meter, verifiable charging data, and ownership of or authorisation for the grid connection. Use the charger check to see whether your situation qualifies.

The ERE payment exists because fuel suppliers have a statutory obligation to cut CO₂ emissions from transport, and verifiable data on sustainable charging helps them meet it. By having their home-charging data registered, EV drivers contribute to that reduction and get paid by the parties that buy EREs to fulfil their obligation. That, in turn, makes home charging financially more attractive.

No, ERE is not the same: the ERE scheme replaced the former HBE payment (renewable fuel units) from 2026. Both rewarded verifiable CO₂ reduction in transport, but the name, system and regulations have changed, and the new setup explicitly allows private individuals to earn ERE for verifiable home-charging data. If you previously dealt with HBE, ERE is its successor, not an addition to it.

One ERE was worth roughly €0.31 on 7 September 2026, within a band of €0.21 to €0.41 depending on the source. That figure is a weighted median of three public price sources; a second registered provider quoted around €0.46 in mid-2026. The price forms through supply and demand rather than being set by the NEa, so it can rise or fall.

No, one ERE does not equal one kWh of charging. The statutory conversion factor is 0.33269 ERE per kWh of grid electricity, which works out to roughly one ERE per 3 kWh you charge at home. At a price of €0.31 per ERE that comes to about €0.10 gross per kWh, before your provider’s commission is deducted.

EREs are mainly bought by fuel suppliers and other parties with a statutory CO₂ reduction obligation, who use the units to meet that obligation. They are sold on behalf of private individuals and businesses that charge at home or for work, through a provider that registers the charging data with the NEa and sells the EREs on the market. You receive the net share after commission.

The Register Energie voor Vervoer (REV) is the Dutch Emissions Authority’s system in which providers register verifiable charging data and convert it into EREs. Only parties holding a REV account may carry out that registration; your charging data enters it through the provider you choose. The register ensures every ERE can be traced back to a real, checked charging session.

The Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa) runs the Register Energie voor Vervoer and oversees the system behind EREs, but does not set the price; that forms through supply and demand. The current list of inboekdienstverleners, self-reported by providers, is not an approval or quality mark. From October 2026 the NEa replaces that list with a register of actual REV account holders.

As a private individual you generally qualify if your charge point has an integrated MID-certified meter, delivers verifiable data per charging session, and you own or are authorised for the grid connection. The charge point must also be located in the Netherlands. If you meet these points you can sign up through a provider; use the charger check for an indication of your situation.

Not necessarily, but you do need to own the grid connection your charge point is attached to, or be demonstrably authorised for it. That authorisation can, for example, come from the connection owner if that isn’t you. Providers generally ask for evidence of this, so check in advance exactly what your chosen provider requires.

Yes, that’s possible, provided you are authorised for the grid connection your charge point is attached to, for example with written permission from the landlord or owner. Owning the home is not a requirement; what matters is who controls the connection and the charging data. Discuss this with your landlord in advance and check the exact conditions with your chosen provider.

That’s possible, but it depends on how the charge point and grid connection are arranged. If you have your own connection with your own MID meter, the same conditions apply as for a detached home. With a shared connection or charging hub for the whole homeowners’ association (VvE), you need to agree in advance who may register the EREs; some providers offer a specific option for this.

A charge point on your own driveway generally qualifies, provided it has an integrated MID-certified meter, delivers verifiable charging data and is connected to a grid connection you own or are authorised for. This is exactly the typical scenario the ERE scheme for private individuals is designed for. Use the charger check to confirm whether your specific charge point meets the conditions.

A shared charge point can produce EREs, but it needs to be clear in advance who may register the charging data and receive the EREs. Think of a charge point you share with housemates, neighbours or a lease car: agree on this before you sign up with a provider, since duplicate or unclear claims on the same charging session can complicate registration.

In practice, usually not: a regular power socket lacks an integrated MID-certified meter and therefore can’t deliver verifiable data per charging session, which is a basic requirement. ERE requires an actual charge point with the right meter. If charging via a socket is your only option, ask a provider whether a suitable alternative solution exists.

Yes, ERE looks at the charging data from your charge point rather than the type of car, so a plug-in hybrid can qualify as long as you charge it at home via a charge point that meets the conditions. Only the electric kWh that are verifiably charged count toward the conversion into EREs; fuel you refuel plays no part in that.

In principle yes: ERE rewards the verifiable charging data from a qualifying charge point rather than a specific vehicle type, so an electric motorcycle, van or camper can count as long as it’s charged at home via a charge point with an integrated MID meter on your grid connection. Check with your chosen provider whether they specifically support this vehicle type, since that can differ per provider.

Yes, the charge point must be located in the Netherlands, because the ERE scheme runs through the Dutch Emissions Authority and the Register Energie voor Vervoer and is tied to a Dutch grid connection. If you charge (partly) abroad, that charging session does not count for ERE. For a charge point in the Netherlands on your own or authorised connection, the usual conditions apply.

A MID-certified meter is an electricity meter that complies with the European Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) and therefore measures demonstrably accurately and reliably. For ERE this meter must be built into the charge point itself, not a separate unit in the meter cupboard. Only then does it produce the verifiable kWh data a provider needs to register your charging sessions with the NEa.

The MID meter must be integrated into the charge point because the NEa only accepts measurement data that is directly and demonstrably linked to one charge point and charging session. A separate meter elsewhere in the installation cannot guarantee that the measured consumption actually comes from charging the car. Integration removes that doubt and makes the data verifiable per session.

You can recognise the MID marking by the CE mark combined with an “M” in a rectangle and the last two digits of the year of conformity assessment, usually on a sticker or plate near the meter inside the charge point. This marking is often found behind the door or on the type plate. If in doubt, check the manual or contact the manufacturer or installer.

You can usually find the MID certificate in the documentation supplied with the charge point, in the manufacturer’s customer portal, or on the supplier’s website under your model’s specifications. If it’s missing, request it from the installer or manufacturer, quoting the model and serial number. Some providers also accept a type plate showing the MID marking as proof.

Yes, your installer can usually confirm whether the installed charge point has an integrated MID-certified meter, based on the model and documentation. It’s best to keep this confirmation in writing or by email, so you can supply it to an ERE provider later. If the installer isn’t sure, the charge point manufacturer can usually clarify.

No, “smart” says nothing about the meter: a smart charge point does not automatically qualify for ERE. What matters is whether the built-in meter is MID-certified and whether the charge point can export verifiable data per charging session. Some smart charge points meet both requirements, others don’t; check this specifically for your model, for example with the charger check.

No, a separate kWh meter in the meter cupboard is not sufficient for ERE. The NEa requires the MID-certified meter to be integrated into the charge point itself, so the measured consumption is unambiguously linked to that one charging session. A separate meter elsewhere in the installation cannot prove the consumption genuinely comes from charging the car.

For an exclusive allocation point, where the connection is used solely for charging the car, measurement data from outside the charge point can, under conditions, also count, because there is no other consumption that could distort the reading. This exception doesn’t apply automatically and is assessed per situation by the provider. If in doubt, ask whether your connection qualifies.

From 1 January 2027, external, non-integrated MID meters no longer count, including for business installations that were allowed to rely on them until then. From that date the MID-certified meter must be built into the charge point itself to still qualify. Business users with an external meter would do well to check in good time whether replacement is needed.

If your charge point doesn’t have an integrated MID-certified meter, you generally won’t qualify for ERE, and replacing it with a suitable model is usually the only solution. Some manufacturers offer an upgrade of the meter module without replacing the whole charge point; ask the manufacturer or installer about this. Weigh the cost of replacement against the expected ERE earnings before deciding.

An ERE provider needs verifiable per-session charging data: the date, time and number of kWh charged, taken directly from the charge point’s integrated MID meter. A single total consumption figure without the underlying sessions is usually not enough. The provider explains how to export this data or have it linked automatically from your charging app or back office.

In most charging apps or back offices you’ll find an export option under “charging sessions” or “history”, often as a CSV or PDF file for a chosen period. Select the period you need and download the overview showing the date, duration and number of kWh per session. If you get stuck, the manufacturer’s customer service or your ERE provider can usually help.

A monthly total alone is usually not enough; the NEa system requires verifiable data per individual charging session, with date, time and kWh. A single monthly figure cannot prove that each session was actually and correctly measured by an integrated MID meter. So make sure your charging app or back office can export sessions individually, not only as a combined total.

No fixed, uniform retention period for private individuals has been published; in practice it’s wise to keep charging sessions for at least as long as your provider’s check and verification period runs, often around a year. It’s better to keep exports longer rather than shorter, especially in case of a later check. Your provider will state which period applies to your contract.

Missing charging sessions simply don’t count for that period; the provider can only register what has been demonstrably and verifiably supplied. This can make ERE earnings for that period lower than expected. So check regularly that your charging app records and exports all sessions completely, and report faults or gaps to your provider or installer as soon as possible.

Whether older charging sessions count retroactively differs per provider and depends on how far back the data can still be verifiably exported. Some providers accept data from before signup, others only count sessions from the contract’s start date. Check this in advance with the provider of your choice, especially if you’ve had a suitable charge point for a while already.

No, the same charging session may not be registered twice; you’re connected to only one provider at a time for registering your charging data. Double registration would mean double-counting CO₂ reduction, which isn’t allowed under the NEa system. If you switch to another provider, this generally only applies to sessions from the new connection date onward.

A provider generally checks whether the supplied data comes from an integrated MID meter, whether the sessions are consistent and plausible in timing and volume, and whether the link to your charge point and connection is correct. Some providers ask for additional proof, such as an installation certificate. The exact verification steps differ per provider and are not always fully public.

If you switch charge points, you’ll need to have the new charge point and meter relinked with your provider, including a fresh check for an integrated MID meter. Data from the old charge point generally remains valid for the period it was active and correctly supplied. Always report a switch to your provider promptly to ensure a seamless transition.

Yes, in most cases you can find your registered kWh yourself in your provider’s customer portal or in your charging app, where the submitted sessions are often visible. If the figures don’t match your own export, contact your provider. Checking it yourself helps catch discrepancies early, before the annual processing and payout.

That depends on how many kWh you charge at home, the current ERE price and your provider’s commission or fee. At the 4,000 kWh reference volume and a price of roughly €0.10 to €0.12 per kWh gross, that already adds up to a few hundred euros a year before commission. Enter your own mileage and consumption in the calculator for a personal indication; it remains an estimate, not a guaranteed amount.

Multiply the number of kWh by the statutory factor 0.33269 to get the number of EREs, then multiply that by the current ERE price (around €0.31) for the gross value: roughly €0.10 per kWh. Subtract your provider’s commission or fixed fee to get the net figure. Our calculator does this automatically based on your annual mileage and consumption.

The conversion from kWh to EREs is fixed by law (0.33269 ERE per kWh), but the price per ERE isn’t: it’s set by supply and demand on the market, not by the NEa. That’s why the price fluctuates, currently between roughly €0.21 and €0.41 per ERE. The model also differs per provider: commission, a fixed annual price or a guaranteed rate, which makes the final payment per kWh vary further.

The ERE price feeds straight through into your gross earnings: the higher the price per ERE, the more each kWh charged is worth. At €0.31 per ERE that’s roughly €0.10 per kWh; at a higher price, like the €0.46 another source quotes, it’s more. Providers sell at different moments, so the exact price at your payout moment partly determines what you receive net.

Gross is the value of your EREs before any deductions: the number of kWh times 0.33269 times the ERE price. Net is what you actually receive after your provider applies its commission, fixed annual cost or other deductions. The difference can be substantial: some providers withhold 12%, others up to 25%, or charge a fixed annual price instead of a percentage. Always compare the net indication, not just the gross figure.

This differs a lot by provider: known commissions in our comparison range from roughly 12% to 25%. Some providers don’t use a percentage at all but a fixed annual price, like Groen-laden at €79.99 a year, or a guaranteed rate per kWh, like 0-CO2 at €0.13 per kWh. Vattenfall withholds 25% but guarantees at least €0.05 per kWh. Always check the exact model for each provider.

Broadly yes: more kWh charged means more EREs, because the conversion (0.33269 ERE per kWh) is linear. But only kWh that meet the requirements count, such as measurement through a suitable MID meter and verifiable data; charging that doesn’t meet those conditions isn’t included. The payment per kWh also isn’t fixed, so charging more doesn’t automatically translate into a proportionally higher payment.

The ERE calculation is based on the grid electricity the MID meter registers at your charge point, in other words the electricity drawn from the grid. Losses that occur afterwards, for example in the cable or while charging the battery, don’t change that meter reading and so aren’t deducted separately. What the meter measures is also what counts for the conversion into EREs.

Yes, potentially. The conversion into EREs depends on the share of renewable electricity in the power you use; the national grid’s share is just over 50%, while your own solar power counts as 100% renewable. As a result, charging on 100% own solar can work out to roughly €0.20 per kWh at today’s price, versus roughly €0.10 per kWh when charging on grid electricity. Ask your provider exactly how they handle this.

Yes. The calculator uses a conservative working price of €0.12 per kWh and an average assumption of 15% commission, purely as an indication. The actual ERE price fluctuates (band €0.21–0.41 per ERE), and your provider’s commission or rate can differ, as can your real charging behaviour. As a result, your final payment can end up higher or lower than the calculator’s outcome.

A registration service provider (inboekdienstverlener) registers your verifiable home-charging data with the NEa, converts it into EREs, sells them on the market and pays you the agreed share of the proceeds. Private individuals cannot arrange this with the NEa themselves; the provider holds its own NEa registration for that purpose. Providers differ in commission, payout frequency and contract terms, so it pays to compare them before you sign up.

No, private individuals can’t open a REV account with the NEa themselves to register EREs. That’s only possible through a registered inboekdienstverlener, which supplies the charging data on your behalf, sells the EREs and pays you out. So you do choose a provider, just not a route straight to the NEa. Compare providers on commission, conditions and payout to find the best match.

First check whether the provider is on the NEa register; that’s a basic requirement, not a quality mark. Then compare the commission or rate, the payout frequency, the contract term and any lock-in, and whether the provider suits your situation (private, business or HOA). Read the terms at the provider itself before signing up; our comparison gives an indication, not personal advice.

No. A listing on the NEa register just means a provider is registered to book in EREs, nothing more. The NEa doesn’t approve the provider and says nothing about commission, payout speed or customer service. Assess those points separately, for example through our comparison, and read the provider’s own terms before you choose.

Look at the commission or rate (percentage, fixed annual price or guaranteed price per kWh), the payout frequency, the contract term and whether there’s a lock-in or notice period. Also check whether the provider suits your audience (private, business, HOA) and whether restrictions apply, such as a required platform or charger brand. Our comparison sets these points side by side per provider.

That depends on how much you charge. With a fixed annual price, like Groen-laden at €79.99 a year, or a guaranteed rate per kWh, like 0-CO2 at €0.13 per kWh, you benefit most if you charge a lot at home. At low charging volumes a percentage commission can actually work out better, because a fixed fee weighs more heavily then. Run the numbers on both models against your own usage before choosing.

For most providers in our comparison the contract runs 12 months. A few work with a longer term and lock-in, such as Inboekdienst.nl at 24 months via Zeres, or offer a lower commission for a longer contract, such as LaadBalans. For some providers the contract term isn’t publicly stated; we show those as “Unknown.” Always check this before you sign.

In practice, yes: your charge point and charging data can only be registered with one provider at a time, so your choice is effectively exclusive for the contract term. Some providers go further and require the use of their own app or charger back office, such as Vattenfall or Laadnet. Check for this kind of restriction in the terms, since it can affect how practical switching later is.

An ERE contract typically runs per calendar year, and you’re registered with one provider at a time. Switching is usually only possible from a new calendar year, so first check the notice period with your current provider. Then sign up with the new provider and check that your charge point and meter meet their requirements before ending the old registration.

That depends on the situation and your provider’s terms; there’s no general, published rule on this. In the event of bankruptcy or discontinuation, an amount not yet sold or paid out can become uncertain, depending on pending sales contracts and how things are wound down. Check the terms on this point, keep confirmations of your registration, and if in doubt contact the provider or the NEa.

This differs per provider: some pay out quarterly, others annually or only after the EREs are sold. Because the 2026 ERE scheme is new, several providers have scheduled their first payout for 2027, and no completed payout has yet been independently confirmed. Always check the payout frequency and period with your chosen provider.

Payout frequency depends on when a provider actually sells the EREs and receives the proceeds. Some providers pool and sell EREs once a year, others do so every quarter, and some pay only after an individual sale. There is no legally required payout frequency; each provider sets its own process, so compare this per provider.

A clear ERE settlement statement should show, at minimum, the accepted kWh, the number of EREs that resulted from it, the price used per ERE, the commission or fixed fee withheld, and the period the statement covers. If any of these is missing, ask your provider for a breakdown.

Yes, that can happen. Some providers hold back a reserve, for example until the annual verification is complete, and adjust the payment up or down afterwards. Extra chain or processing costs can also come on top of the stated commission. Check your provider’s terms to see whether and how this is arranged.

That depends on your personal situation; this is general information, not tax advice. For private individuals an ERE payment can be relevant to income tax, for example as income from other activities. Consult the Belastingdienst or a tax adviser to determine exactly how this applies to your situation.

For private individuals not regarded as entrepreneurs, VAT generally plays no role in an ERE payment; with some providers you do see it reflected in how their commission is stated, for example including VAT. This is general information, not tax advice; consult the Belastingdienst or an adviser for your exact situation.

As a business, you generally process an ERE payment in your bookkeeping as income, with possible consequences for your VAT return; this varies by situation and provider. Some providers use self-billing, where they draw up the settlement statement for you. This is not tax advice; check the exact treatment with your accountant or the Belastingdienst.

Yes, a reimbursement from your employer for home-charged electricity is separate from the ERE payment; the first covers the energy cost, the second covers registering charging data with the NEa through an inboekdienstverlener. An employer reimbursement has its own tax treatment. This is not tax advice; consult the Belastingdienst or your employer for the exact conditions.

In principle yes, because these are two separate arrangements: the ERE payment relates to the charge point and its charging data, while an employer’s home-charging allowance covers the energy cost. Check with your employer whether their policy allows this, and with your ERE provider whether they set conditions on who may register the connection. For the tax side, consult the Belastingdienst or an adviser.

Keep at least your contract or the terms of your ERE provider, every ERE settlement statement showing accepted kWh, ERE count, price and commission, and proof of ownership or authorisation for the connection. For private individuals with a tax obligation and for businesses this is also relevant for their records; keep these documents at least as long as usual for your tax return.

Yes, that’s possible: the ERE payment depends on the charge point and the connection you charge on, not on who owns or leases the car. You do need to be the owner or authorised user of the connection and have a suitable meter with verifiable charging data. With a lease car it’s wise to arrange this in advance with your leasing company and ERE provider.

The ERE payment is linked to the grid connection, not to the licence plate. Whoever owns or is the authorised user of the connection registers with the provider and receives the payment, even if the car is registered in someone else’s name. If the connection and the car’s user are different people, agree between yourselves who registers.

In practice ERE registration counts the total accepted charging volume measured through that one charge point’s integrated MID meter, not per car separately. If two electric cars charge on the same charge point, both are included in that volume. Ask your provider to confirm that their system registers it this way.

That’s possible, provided each charge point individually meets the requirements: an integrated MID meter, verifiable charging data, and ownership or authorisation of the connection it belongs to. Providers that serve business customers and multiple charge points generally support this best. Check with your provider exactly how registering several charge points at one address works.

For charging data you registered at your old connection before the move, the agreed payout still applies as normal. For your new home you need to register the charge point and connection again, because the payment is tied to that specific connection and meter. Redo the charger check for the new address and contact your provider.

In principle yes: the requirements apply per charge point and connection, not per home. A charge point at your second home also needs an integrated MID meter, verifiable charging data, and ownership or authorisation of that connection. Not every provider automatically supports a second address, so check this in advance with the provider of your choice.

No, not directly. A dynamic energy contract determines what you pay for the electricity you use; the ERE payment is calculated separately, over the accepted kWh measured by your meter, regardless of the tariff you paid. As long as your charge point keeps delivering verifiable data, a dynamic contract changes nothing about your ERE eligibility.

Yes, the two combine perfectly well. Smart charging mainly controls when you draw power, for example at cheaper moments, while the ERE payment is based on the accepted, verifiable kWh your meter registers, regardless of timing. Some providers, such as Stekker, even bundle smart charging with the ERE service in one package.

It can, depending on how your charge point and home battery are connected. ERE requires charging data that can be demonstrably and verifiably attributed to charging your car; if a battery is metered together with it, that can complicate registration. Discuss your specific setup with your provider to be sure about eligibility.

Possibly. With bidirectional charging energy flows both ways, while only the actually charged, verifiable kWh counts toward the ERE payment, not electricity fed back. This requires a meter that correctly distinguishes charging from feeding back. Ask your provider and charge point supplier whether your setup is suitable for ERE registration.

Yes, an HOA can receive ERE for a shared charging hub, provided the charge points meet the same requirements as private charging: an integrated MID-certified meter, verifiable charging data, and clarity about ownership or authorisation of the connection. A provider that serves HOAs registers the charge points and can handle administration per point or per hub.

Within an HOA it is usually the board, or the managing agent acting on the HOA’s behalf, that is responsible for ERE registration, because the HOA typically holds the connection for the shared charging hub. It matters that everyone agrees in advance who is authorised to supply the charging data and register the EREs with a provider, to avoid confusion.

The ERE scheme does not determine that: dividing the earnings among residents is an internal HOA matter, to be set out in the house rules or decided at the members’ meeting. Options include splitting by each unit’s share in the hub, by metered usage per member, or paying it into the shared reserve fund. We don’t give financial or legal advice on this.

Yes, an employer can receive ERE for charge points at the office, provided the company owns or is authorised for the connection and the charge points deliver verifiable data via an integrated MID-certified meter. This falls under business participation; in the comparison you can filter for providers that serve business customers.

Yes, provided the charging itself happens at a company charge point with an integrated MID-certified meter and verifiable data. The ERE payment depends on the charge point and the connection, not on the vehicle type, so delivery vans charging at a suitable company charge point count in the same way as passenger cars.

Business charge points need a MID-certified meter that delivers verifiable charging data, just like private ones. For business or external MID meters a transition rule applies: from 1 January 2027 only an integrated meter counts, so a separate external MID meter will no longer be sufficient from that date. Check this in good time with your charge point supplier or provider.

The standard calculation uses the national share of renewable electricity on the grid, around 50.5% in 2026. A business that can demonstrably prove it buys 100% renewable electricity may, under conditions, apply a higher factor than this national average, yielding more ERE per kWh. The exact conditions and required evidence vary, so check with the NEa or your provider.

Yes, several providers that serve business customers allow a fleet manager to bring charge points at different locations together under one contract. That simplifies administration, though each charge point must still individually meet the requirements for a suitable meter, verifiable data and ownership or authorisation of the connection.

Think of proof of ownership or authorisation of the connection, meter readings or a MID-meter certificate, and the contracts or correspondence with your provider. Exactly which documents a provider asks for during an audit isn’t always publicly stated; that’s why we often show audit costs as not publicly stated. Check the details with your provider.

That depends on the terms of the specific subsidy, not on the ERE scheme itself; ERE is a payment for charging data, not an investment subsidy. Some charging-infrastructure subsidies don’t exclude later income, while others impose conditions. We don’t give subsidy advice, so check the conditions with the subsidy provider or your adviser.

First check the charge point’s internet connection and whether the manufacturer’s app or backend still shows readings. If the problem continues, contact your ERE provider and the charge point supplier; without continuous data no ERE can be registered for that period. The sooner you report it, the fewer sessions you’ll miss out on.

A provider usually rejects a session when the data isn’t verifiable enough: for example a missing or incomplete reading, an uncertified meter, or a session that can’t be linked to the registered connection. The exact reason differs case by case, so ask your provider for an explanation of each rejected session.

Differences can arise from rounding, a different measuring point, or a different processing period between the charge point app and the ERE statement. Put the relevant sessions or periods side by side, note the discrepancy, and contact your provider with concrete data and timestamps so they can check it and correct it if needed.

Start with the provider’s own complaints procedure; it’s usually set out in the terms or on the website. If that doesn’t resolve it, the same consumer channels apply as with any other service provider. Note that a listing on the NEa register is a requirement to register EREs, not a quality mark for customer service.

Be cautious of a provider that promises a fixed, guaranteed amount with no conditions, doesn’t mention any commission, or claims a price far above the current market-wide band of roughly €0.21 to €0.41 per ERE. Real earnings are always an indication, dependent on the price and commission, never a guarantee.

An ERE provider needs access to your charging data in order to register it; that’s inherent to the service. Before giving consent, check the privacy policy, who actually processes the data (sometimes a technical partner), and whether the terms are clear. An NEa listing is not an approval of the provider itself, so always read the terms yourself.

An ERE provider typically processes your charging data, identity details to verify you as the connection’s holder, and payment details for the payout. Exactly what data is processed and how long it’s kept is set out in that provider’s own privacy policy, which is separate from EREVergelijken.eu’s privacy policy.

Yes, the ERE scheme has existed only since 2026 and its rules, conditions and even its continuation can change. For example, the current self-reported NEa list is already being replaced by a register of actual REV account holders in October 2026. Follow official sources such as the NEa to stay informed of such changes.

The market-wide indicative ERE price is updated weekly, as a weighted median of several public sources. Because the price forms through supply and demand rather than being fixed centrally, it can fluctuate from week to week; on 7 September 2026 it stood at roughly €0.31 per ERE, with a band of €0.21 to €0.41.

The most authoritative sources are the Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa) at emissieautoriteit.nl and the legal text of the Regeling energie vervoer, article 11. EREVergelijken.eu is an independent comparison site, not a regulator; we summarise the rules and, whenever in doubt, always point you to these official sources for the latest status.
