How to generate additional revenue from EV charging? Watch how Best Trucks made it happen.

Electric driving requires significant investment: electric trucks, charging infrastructure, batteries and solar panels. But did you know that same charging infrastructure can also become a source of additional revenue?

Best Trucks, an official DAF dealer, is investing heavily in the electrification of heavy transport. To charge electric trucks quickly and reliably, the company developed its own smart charging system. This allows them to charge electric trucks in as little as an hour today, with that time expected to drop to around 10 minutes within a few years.

Beyond building future-proof charging infrastructure, Best Trucks also wanted to make the most of the financial potential of its EV charging data.

From EV charging data to recurring ERE revenue

Best Trucks works with Voltico because our software platform automates the entire ERE process. The software connects directly to Best Trucks' charging points, batteries, and solar panels. All relevant charging data is automatically collected, validated, and processed to register emission reduction units (EREs). Voltico then handles the entire administrative process and payout.

As a result, Best Trucks doesn't need to worry about complex regulations or manual administration, while still maintaining full visibility into registered charging sessions and the corresponding ERE revenue.

Why EREs matter for transport companies

As Ronald Janssen and Nils Larsen share in the video below, this partnership strengthens the business case for electric driving even further. Investing in charging infrastructure doesn't just deliver reliable charging sessions, it also creates an additional revenue stream.

More and more transport companies are discovering that EV charging is more than just a cost. By taking smart advantage of the ERE scheme, electrification investments can pay for themselves faster. For organizations operating multiple electric trucks or vans, this can add up to a significant amount each year.

Watch the video to see how Best Trucks put this into practice and the role Voltico plays in it.
