Lease and ERE

Athlon • receive ERE revenue or wait?

Do you lease through Athlon and charge at home? Then the starting point is clear: if you are the EAN owner, the ERE revenue belongs to you. After that, make clear agreements with your employer about home-charging reimbursement.

In short

The EAN leads

If you are the EAN owner, the ERE revenue belongs to you.

Employer reimbursement sits next to it

The practical discussion afterwards is about the size of the home-charging reimbursement.

// The neutral view

What applies to every lease driver

Core rule for this page

The owner of the EAN receives the ERE revenue. That is the legal starting point across all lease pages. The rest is about registration, reimbursement and agreements.

For home charging, ERE legally follows the owner of the electricity connection (the EAN). That owner is entitled to the ERE revenue. In many lease situations that is simply the driver or household at the home address.

That is the part to be crystal clear about: the right to the revenue sits with the EAN owner. The practical discussion starts afterwards, once an employer fully reimburses home charging and wants to revisit that reimbursement.

Legal starting point

The right follows the owner of the connection (the EAN). That EAN owner is entitled to the revenue, not automatically the employer or leasing company.

Practical reality

Whoever fully reimburses home charging may argue that ERE revenue affects the reimbursement per kWh. That is why alignment with the employer is sensible.

Contract check

Check whether your lease or employment policy already says anything about ERE or emission reduction units. If it says nothing, that does not change the legal starting point that the EAN owner receives the revenue.

// Employer reimbursement

Three scenarios that make the difference

Variable electricity price reimbursed

If your employer only reimburses a limited or variable electricity tariff, ERE is often extra revenue on top of that reimbursement.

Full kWh price reimbursed

If your employer pays the full home-charging cost, that reimbursement is more likely to be revisited once ERE starts paying out.

Private lease

With private lease the situation is the simplest. You are the EAN owner yourself and there is no employer trying to redesign the reimbursement.

// Athlon's public stance

What Athlon says publicly

Knowledge-base articleLaadoplossingen in je leasebudget

Athlon does not yet have a dedicated public ERE landing page, but it does clearly position home charging as the logical and often cheaper route within lease policy.

Athlon advises employers to facilitate home charging where possible because it is practical and usually cheaper than public charging.

The article explains that home-charging costs are reimbursed to the employee and then charged to the employer.

A specific public ERE stance is still missing. That leaves room for the driver and employer to make their own arrangements.

// Joulo's stance

Joulo's stance

Because Athlon already frames home charging as the logical route, Joulo's position is equally clear: if you are the owner of the EAN, the ERE revenue belongs to you. Then put clear agreements in place with your employer about home-charging reimbursement.

Right to the revenue

If you are the owner of the EAN, the ERE revenue belongs to you.

Employer reimbursement

If your employer reimburses in full, agree right away how that home-charging reimbursement relates to your ERE revenue.

Execution

Do not use Athlon as a reason to wait. A missing public ERE page is not a reason to postpone registration or payout.

DutchLease is the most explicitly pro-driver source in this batch. The article explicitly says that even with a company lease car the revenue belongs to the EAN owner.

Multilease recognises that the EAN owner receives the revenue, but also stresses that employer reimbursement should stay aligned with total charging cost.

MKB Lease is the most direct source on the employer nuance. The page says the revenue is yours, but also warns that your employer may want to lower the reimbursement.
