The latest on ERE's, chargers and earning with electric charging.
Oil got cheaper last week after Trump announced a deal with Iran, and that is exactly why the ERE price rose by nearly 7%. Counter-intuitive, we know. Here is how it works, and what it means for your payout.
Home Assistant can dynamically throttle your charger so your car only charges with your solar surplus. Here is how surplus charging works, and how Joulo turns those kilowatt-hours into income afterwards.
Connect your Victron system to Joulo through VRM for ERE registration. The EV Charging Station has no built-in MID meter yet • we are waiting for a MID charger from Victron itself. Until then, ERE requires a MID upgrade or a SAP.
Got an Alfen charger at home? Then you are well prepared for the ERE scheme. Alfen is one of the most common charger brands in the Netherlands, and every model with a built-in MID meter satisfies the requirements of the Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa).
Many EV drivers are registered with two ERE providers. Some providers say your connection is already fixed at the NEa. That is not how it works. One provider per connection per calendar year. Switching for 2027 is possible now.
Your own solar or wind generation can count as 100% renewable for a business. The four conditions, what the NEa really requires and which claims to distrust.
Who gets the ERE revenue from a lease car that charges at home? Not the leasing company. The ERE accrues to the holder of the energy contract • and that is you.
The market for home-charging credits has just opened. The technical choices being made now • who may access your charging data, and by which route • will determine for years whether you choose your registration provider, or your charger portal does it for you.
How much can you really earn charging at home? An honest answer with a worked example you can check yourself: around €0.13 net per kWh.
Last Friday the Peblar update went live. In one day, 78 Peblar chargers connected to Joulo as back office • now 386 in total. This is what's flowing through since.
Joulo is officially an Easee integration partner for the Dutch market. The cloud connection is on Easee's official integrations list.
From 29 May 2026 your Peblar Home Plus or Business connects directly to Joulo over OCPP. Set it up once, after which your charging sessions stream in automatically and we book them as ERE every quarter.

More and more charging platforms lock your data in. Road does the opposite: their own help documentation states you may send your charging data to the ERE service provider of your choice. That is exactly how we think it should work • your kWh, your data, your call.
