The market beneath Joulo
The Dutch EV market in numbers
From every plug-in car in the Netherlands to the euros home charging yields. One funnel, with live fleet figures and an honest calculation of the ERE potential.

Electric share
21%"Electric powertrain" is the CBS fuel type electricity • besides fully electric cars it also counts plug-in and regular hybrids. Only home charging with a MID meter earns ERE credits, so the ERE-relevant fleet is smaller. We work that out step by step below.
From car to ERE
Four steps to the market
The top is large, but each step narrows the market a little. That's exactly where the opportunity is.
Step 1
Chargeable plug-in cars
Fully electric (700,000) plus plug-in hybrid (300,000). Only these cars charge at a plug and can therefore yield ERE credits.
RVO state of electric driving
Step 2
Home charge points (of which MID)
Around 863,000 private home charge points, of which an estimated 300,000 have a built-in MID meter (35%): roughly half via business and lease charging platforms, the rest private and other home MID. That MID share is registrable today.
RVO/NAL/ElaadNL • MID share is an assumption
Step 3
kWh charged at home per year
12,000 km × 18 kWh/100 km × 65% home charging = 1,404 kWh per car. Across the MID fleet, 488.1M registrable kWh a year.
CBS annual mileage • ElaadNL/ANWB home-charging share
Step 4
ERE credits & market value
488.1M kWh × 0.333 ERE/kWh. At the net guide price of € 0.12–0.15 per kWh that's € 58.6M–73.2M a year for drivers combined.

The calculation
No hidden assumptions
= registrable kWh × 0.333 = ERE credits
- Chargeable EVs (BEV + PHEV)
- 1,000,000 cars
- Average annual mileage
- 12,000 km
- Consumption
- 18 kWh / 100 km
- Home-charging share

- Renewable grid share (CBS 2026)

- Market value for drivers (net)
- € 58.6M – 73.2M / year
ERE per kWh = 50.5% × 0.6588 ≈ 0.3327 kg CO₂. Net €/kWh and fee (20%) come live from our price settings. ERE prices are market-dependent, so this is a guide value, not a guarantee.
The bottleneck
The MID meter opens the market
Of 863,000 home charge points, about 35% can register today. Every charge point that gets a built-in MID meter grows the market. Joulo arranges the upgrade or the registration • all you do is charge.
