Conditions and eligibility

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.
