HOA, employer and fleet

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 integrated in the charge point that delivers verifiable charging data, just like private ones. Only businesses that were already booking with a separate, external MID meter before 2026 have a transition year: from 1 January 2027 such an external meter will no longer be sufficient for them either. Check this in good time with your charge point supplier or provider.

The standard calculation uses the national renewable share, 50.5% in 2026. A higher share is only possible for renewable power generated at the same address and delivered to the vehicle through the charge point meter, or received through a direct line. That applies to businesses and, through a registration service provider, to private individuals too. It requires guarantees of origin for non-grid delivery, and no operating subsidy may have been paid. Buying green power through the grid does not count.

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.
