Earn money from your EV chargers with EREs
Tap Green Credits makes it simple to turn your charging data into verified ERE income in the Netherlands — with full transparency.
What do I need to know about EREs?
What are EREs and how can I benefit?
EREs (Emission Reduction Units) are certificates created from electricity used to charge electric vehicles.
Fuel and energy companies are legally required to buy these certificates to meet EU and Dutch climate targets.
From January 2026, new Dutch rules make it possible for homeowners and small businesses to participate through approved service providers like Tap Electric.
Tap turns your charging data into verified EREs and sells them on your behalf.
Do I qualify for EREs?
You likely qualify if all three apply:
You own the electricity meter
You must control the meter linked to your charging location.
Homeowners and business both supported.
Apartment owners
If the VvE owns the meter and it’s not assigned to your parking bay, charging may not be eligible. If the meter is owned by your VvE, only the VvE can claim the ERE’s as a business.
Your charger has an MID-certified meter
How to check:
- Look for an MID marking on the charger or manual
- Check the manufacturer’s datasheet
Not sure? Tap helps verify your model during signup
You use or can start using the Tap backoffice or charge card
You must either:
- Add and manage your charger to Tap (free, takes minutes)
OR
- Charge using the Tap app or Tap charge card
(free subscription available)
How and when does Tap pay me for my EREs?
Fully transparent EREs payouts
Your EREs payouts are based on the annual average price of all ERE trades made by Tap.
Tap publishes a public ledger of all ERE trades, showing:
- When certificates are sold
- What price certificates were sold at
Tap will always optimise for the highest possible sale price on trades.
EREs payment timing
Tap EREs payouts are made once per year, starting March 31, 2027, directly to your chosen payout account.

How EREs earning works with Tap
Tap Electric turns your EV charging into reliable earnings, automatically and transparently. We handle all the data collection, regulatory audits, and market sales.
Automatic data collection
Every time you charge your EV, we securely log the session data required for ERE certification. No manual input, no missing records.
Audit-ready verification
Dutch regulations require all ERE data to be verified by certified auditors. We handle this entire process, ensuring your charging sessions meet legal standards and pass inspection the first time.
Market sales optimisation
ERE values fluctuate based on market demand. We monitor conditions and sell your certificates when prices are favorable, maximising what you earn per kWh charged.
Annual payouts
Once your EREs are sold, we calculate your share and pay you directly. We share our full trade ledger, so you know exactly when certificates were sold and at what price. Simple, transparent, hassle-free.
Why is transparency around EREs important?
EREs are sold on a market, and most providers work on a profit-share model.
If a provider sells at €0.20 per kWh but reports €0.15, a promised 75% share becomes 56% in reality. Without visibility into the actual sale price, it’s impossible to know whether you are being paid fairly.
Experience also matters. The recent regulatory changes have attracted many new and inexperienced parties to the market. A single mistake during verification or audit can result in credits being rejected, meaning no payout at all.
Tap and our partners work with the auditors from the Emissions Authority (NEa) to verify your credits.
Tap removes this risk by publishing a public ledger of every ERE trade and payout calculation. As a long-standing leader in EV charging transparency, we apply the same standard here. Tap Electric has proven expertise in regulatory compliance, secure data handling, and EV charging infrastructure.
