What is an ERE service provider for ERE registration?
An ERE service provider handles your ERE registration: charging data is registered into the official ERE process and operationally processed toward the market. Also read the ERE registration explainer.
The right question is not only who claims the lowest fee, but who is transparent about total cost, data flow, and contract terms.
// What to compare
Six checks that actually matter
1. NEa correctness
Verify factual claims. The NEa list means registration, not accreditation.
2. Total cost
Compare service fee plus audit fees, subscriptions, and fixed costs.
3. Data flow
Cloud API and OCPP reduce friction versus manual upload. Be cautious with providers relying on CSV files.
4. Contract terms
Check term length (max one year for consumers), cancellation per EAN, and switching process.
5. Payout and visibility
Verify payout cadence, reporting quality, and whether processed volume is visible per EAN.
6. Switching in practice
Ask for EAN release lead times and how double registration is prevented.
// Comparison method
Use these 6 checks before you sign
Always compare providers in the same order: NEa correctness, total cost, data flow, contract terms per EAN, payout/reporting, and practical switching flow.
// Employer and fleet
Specific guidance for lease drivers and employers
In lease setups, pay extra attention to tax handling, policy impact, and authorization flow between employee, employer, and connection owner. Authorization always follows the EAN owner, not the lease company.
