How much can a charging station earn with ERE credits?

The revenue a charging station generates through emission reduction units (EREs) is determined by the amount of verifiably avoided CO₂ multiplied by the market price per ERE and is therefore not fixed. A charging station can become an additional revenue stream alongside its normal use. How much it generates depends on the avoided CO₂ per session, usage intensity, and the prevailing market price per ERE. Read more about how the price of EREs is determined.

How is revenue calculated?

• Number of charging sessions

• kWh delivered per session

• Market price of ERE credits

What are realistic earnings?

Realistic earnings vary significantly by location and usage intensity. Voltico does not make fixed promises about specific amounts, as outcomes depend on factors outside Voltico's control. A calculation model can provide an indicative estimate based on your own figures. Use our ERE-calculator to estimate your potential income. 

What influences your earnings?

Your earnings are determined by the usage intensity of the charging point, the quality of the registered CO₂ justification, and the market price at the time of sale. Of these, data quality is the factor you have the most direct control over.

• Usage intensity

• Data quality

• Market price

Why are you likely leaving money on the table?

Many organizations fail to capture available revenue because they are not utilizing their charging data or do not meet the requirements, meaning sessions generate no EREs at all. The missed revenue is rarely the result of insufficient charging volume. It is almost always data that fails to pass verification.

Key takeaway

Every valid charging session represents potential revenue. Earnings are not fixed and depend on avoided CO₂, usage intensity, and market price, but data quality is the variable within your control.
