Lekkerladen is now available as an ERE integration in Plugchoice. Charger owners can choose Lekkerladen from the Plugchoice app or web portal, authorize the connection, and let eligible charging sessions flow through Plugchoice as the data layer behind the ERE process.
The useful part is not that another name appears on a list. Lekkerladen chooses Plugchoice as its data and exposure platform. Customers can find and connect Lekkerladen inside Plugchoice, while the operational work around charger data, sessions and authorization stays in one place.
ERE only works when the data chain is clean
ERE is the Dutch scheme for renewable energy in transport. In practical terms, ERE stands for emissiereductie-eenheid, or Emission Reduction Unit, where one unit equals one kilogram of CO2-equivalent emissions saved. Eligible EV charging sessions are registered as these units with the Nederlandse Emissieautoriteit, then traded in a regulated market where fuel suppliers buy them to meet their fuel transition obligations. We broke down the mechanics in ERE certificates explained.
That sounds simple, but the actual work sits in the chain behind it. A charging session needs usable MID meter data, timestamps, a clear authorization from the charger owner, verification, and a booking provider that understands the ERE process. The NEa even publishes separate guidance for registering electricity for private users, which shows how much process sits behind a single kWh. If those parts are loose, ERE quickly becomes messy.
Plugchoice keeps that operational layer together. The customer chooses the booking provider, Plugchoice structures the charging data across every charger brand, and the inboekdienstverlener receives the clean data stream it needs. For CPOs and installers, ERE can become part of the proposition without forcing them to become ERE specialists themselves.
What Lekkerladen adds
Lekkerladen positions itself as an independent ERE booking service provider for people and companies that manage, produce or use charging stations. On its own channels it says it books, verifies and sells emission reductions automatically, compliantly and transparently, and it describes itself as backed by the Achmea ecosystem, focused on private charger owners and SMEs. Sister brand Centraal Beheer sits in the same group.
On the user side, Lekkerladen keeps the explanation direct: the charger owner gives permission once, the charger is connected through the charger producer or manager, charging sessions are registered automatically, and Lekkerladen handles the administrative side around ERE, verification and booking. No manual session exports, no spreadsheet ritual. It also runs dedicated flows for CPOs and charger manufacturers, and explains its thinking on its blog.
Lekkerladen also references independent verification, naming auditors such as DEKRA and Normec QS in its ERE chain. That fits the broader point: ERE is not only a commercial add-on. The administrative trail needs to be good enough to stand up to scrutiny later, especially when session data, meter data and payouts are involved. Lekkerladen's own guidance on how to choose a good booking service provider makes the same case.
Lekkerladen.com is listed by the Dutch Emissions Authority in its overview of inboekdienstverleners. That is useful context, with the usual nuance. The NEa states that being listed does not mean a party has a REV account, has been quality-assessed, or has been approved or accredited by the NEa. The inboekdienstverlener remains responsible for correct registration and compliance.
Why this matters for CPOs and installers
For CPOs and installers, ERE is interesting because it can turn an existing charger base into a recurring value proposition. The harder part is making it clean enough to offer at scale. Customers need to understand who they are authorizing, which data is shared, and who handles the booking side.
Plugchoice gives them that layer. The charger owner chooses the ERE provider, the data stays structured in one platform, and the booking provider handles the ERE administration. When there is revenue, partners can participate through the Plugchoice Partner Program instead of manually coordinating every customer, meter and provider themselves, alongside paid modules such as Smart Charging and Billing & Invoicing.
For ERE booking providers, the logic runs the other way around. Instead of building a separate route to every CPO, installer or charger brand, a provider can become visible inside Plugchoice and receive standardized charging data through one platform. The same non-disruptive principle powers the OCPP Proxy, which lets Plugchoice run alongside an existing backoffice instead of replacing it. It is the same open, hardware-agnostic thinking behind recent connections like Joulo, Laadloon, Easee and the evcc app. Providers that want to explore it can start from the Plugchoice ERE proposition or contact us.
Compare before you connect
Commercial conditions around ERE providers can differ, and they can change. That is why detailed commercial information for Lekkerladen belongs on the dedicated integration page, the provider's own flow, and the ERE integrations overview. A news article is not the right place to freeze pricing or terms in time.
Lekkerladen is available in Plugchoice as of 2 June 2026. Charger owners can connect from the Plugchoice app or web portal. CPOs, installers and ERE booking providers that want to understand the full model can start with the Plugchoice ERE proposition, browse the wider integrations overview, or get started for free.
