If you charge your leased company car at home, those kWh have been worth money since 2026. This is called ERE, short for emission reduction units. Plenty of company car drivers assume the revenue goes to their employer or the leasing company. It does not: the revenue follows your electricity connection, not your car.
You pay a 19% service fee instead of 20%, for as long as you stay a customer. Use the button and the code is filled in for you.
Drag the slider to the number of kWh you charge at home each year. An average company car driver sits around 6,000 kWh. The ERE payment is roughly 7 to 14 cents per kWh and moves with the market.
Not sure of the number? Check the app for your charge point or your annual electricity statement.
Net, after the 19% service fee with code 5EDHXT. This comes on top of the electricity allowance from your employer.
With the code you keep € 6 a year more than you would on the standard 20% rate.
Does that roughly match your situation?Signing up takes a few minutes and you connect your charge point once.
Sign up with code 5EDHXTThe NEa, the Dutch Emissions Authority, looks at one thing: who holds the grid connection where the charging happens. Who owns the car, or who paid for the charge point, makes no difference.
The charge point is at your house, on your connection, with an MID certified kWh meter. This is the ordinary case. The ERE revenue is yours.
Makes no difference. As long as the electricity runs through your meter, you are the party entitled to register the ERE. Your employer cannot claim that revenue, not even through your lease contract.
The ERE revenue stays yours. But it does lower your real electricity costs, which may mean your employer can reimburse less tax free. So mention it, and you avoid an argument about your charging allowance later on.
If a dedicated connection has been installed that is billed directly to your employer, the electricity does not run through your meter. In that case the ERE revenue passes you by.
Only what goes through your own meter at home counts. At public charge points the operator handles it.
Is your charge point at home, on your meter?Then you can sign up. Use the button and the code is already filled in.
Sign up with code 5EDHXTYou cannot register your ERE with the NEa yourself. That always runs through a registration service provider. Joulo is the best known of them, works with over 125 charge point models from 66 brands, and with almost every modern charge point over OCPP.
Enter 5EDHXT in the referral code field, or use the button below. Then it is already there and you pay 19% instead of 20%.
A one off step, over OCPP or through the account of your charge point brand. After that there is nothing left to do.
The kWh you charge at home are registered automatically. The revenue lands in your account every quarter.
Joulo keeps 20 percent of your ERE revenue as a service fee by default. Sign up with the code below and that becomes 19 percent. It stays that way for as long as you are a customer. Beyond that: no subscription, no audit fees, cancel yearly.
The link fills in code 5EDHXT for you. If you complete the form yourself, type 5EDHXT into the referral code field. Does your employer reimburse your actual charging costs? Let them know you have signed up.
The code is 5EDHXT. Enter it when you sign up, or go straight to joulo.nl/r/5EDHXT. You then pay a 19 percent service fee instead of 20 percent, for as long as you stay a customer.
Yes. Whether the car is leased makes no difference. What matters is your charge point: it has to sit on your own electricity connection and have an MID certified kWh meter.
Yes. The ERE revenue goes to whoever holds the grid connection, and that is you. Even when your employer pays for the car, the charge point and the electricity. Do mention it if you are reimbursed for your actual costs, because this revenue lowers those costs and they may then be allowed to reimburse less tax free.
Who paid for the charge point does not count. If the electricity runs through your meter, the ERE revenue is yours. Only a separate connection in your employer's name puts it out of reach.
Around 7 to 14 cents per kWh, and that moves with the market. Charging 6,000 kWh a year at home puts you somewhere between 420 and 840 euros gross. It comes on top of the electricity allowance from your employer. The calculator above shows what it works out to at your own usage.
The form takes a few minutes. You connect your charge point once, usually over OCPP or through the account of your charge point brand. After that it runs by itself.
On 3 August 2026 the Dutch tax authority indicated that the payment does not count as salary. Your employer therefore withholds no payroll tax on it. How it works out in your own tax return is best checked with your adviser.
Nothing changes. Your registration is attached to your charge point, not to the car. If you drive a different electric car afterwards, leased or private, it simply carries on.
