What do your chargers earn?

For businesses, yes. When a business demonstrably charges on on-site generation such as solar panels, it can claim up to twice as many credits per kWh. This does not apply to home chargers: home charging always counts at the grid average. With a battery, Voltico's software can also count stored self-generated energy towards 100% EREs. This requires robust substantiation with verifiable data, which is checked during verification. The software optimises this allocation automatically. No rights can be derived from this.

Four legal requirements apply for 100% EREs:

• Gross Production Meter (BPM). Inverter data alone does not meet legal requirements. Cost around €2,000 including installation, depending on the situation, plus a meter data subscription.

• Hourly charging session data. kWh consumption must be recorded on an hourly basis.

• Guarantees of Origin (GvOs). Submitted annually via the Verticer portal.

• Volume. Registering your generation is a choice and pays off from approximately 100,000 kWh charged and generated per year. If you do not reach that, or choose not to, we simply register your charging on grid electricity.

Voltico integrates directly with solar installations and smart batteries. Get in touch to discuss the options for your situation.

Possibly. The Dutch Tax Administration has not yet issued specific guidance, but the earnings could be classified as income from other activities. At a few hundred euros per year the tax impact is usually limited, though your situation may differ. Voltico cannot provide binding tax advice; please consult the Dutch Tax Administration or a tax advisor.

Do you drive a lease or company car? In that case you may be able to make arrangements with your employer about how the earnings are divided.

Periodically, directly into your bank account. We can do that because we track your charging data in real time: every charging session is checked before we register it. In the portal, you can see what you have earned per period and when the next payout will take place. For 2026, the first payout is expected this fall due to the start-up of the Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa) register.

Voltico takes a service fee on the amount your EREs actually generate. For private individuals that is 20%. For businesses it follows a staffel: 20% on the first €10,000 a year, 15% up to €25,000, 8% up to €100,000, 7% up to €250,000 and 6% above that; each percentage applies only to the part inside that band. If no EREs are sold, you pay nothing. No subscription fees, no connection fees, no hidden costs. In the portal you can see exactly how your net amount is calculated.

Not for now. For home chargers, the legislator does not yet distinguish between electricity from your own solar panels and electricity from the grid. For every kWh charged, the national average share of renewable electricity is used: set at 50.5% for 2026. That share grows every year, so you automatically receive more EREs per kWh as the Netherlands continues to shift towards a more renewable electricity mix.
