Multilease • receive ERE revenue or wait?
Multilease is substantively clear: the EAN owner receives the ERE revenue, but the employer may still factor that revenue into 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.

ERE-certificaten: alle info op een rij
"If an employer pays a reimbursement for home charging, that amount should be based on the total cost of charging. That depends on any revenue coming from ERE certificates."

// 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.
// Multilease's public stance
What Multilease says publicly
Multilease recognises that the EAN owner receives the revenue, but also stresses that employer reimbursement should stay aligned with total charging cost.
Multilease says the revenue is paid to the person whose name is on the electricity connection. In most cases that is the driver.
The page clearly states that an employer reimbursing home charging should look at the total charging cost, including any ERE income.
So the message is not to wait, but to calculate realistically.
// Joulo's stance
Joulo's stance
Joulo aligns closely with the Multilease line here: if you are the owner of the EAN, the ERE revenue belongs to you. Register for that revenue and at the same time acknowledge that it can affect the home-charging reimbursement paid by your employer.
Right to the revenue
If you are the owner of the EAN, the ERE revenue belongs to you. That also follows from Multilease's public explanation.
Employer reimbursement
Take the employer component seriously. That is where the real nuance sits in Multilease's story.
Execution
Write agreements down if your employer currently pays a high fixed reimbursement per kWh.

Athlon
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.
View pageAlphabet
Alphabet is notably clear: the EAN owner receives the ERE revenue and Alphabet cannot block that claim.
View pageDutchLease
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.
View pageMKB Lease
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.
View pageLease Result
Lease Result mostly looks through the employer and fleet-policy lens. That means less focus on your individual right to the revenue and more focus on organisational policy choices.
