Charging data for carbon credits.

In several European countries the renewable electricity you charge earns carbon credits. A credit aggregator registers your kWh, sells the credits to fuel suppliers and pays you out. Some credit aggregators then connect your charger to their own system. With Plugchoice you connect your own charger, your sessions stay in your account and you decide who reads them.

Why Plugchoice

You can also go to a credit aggregator directly.

  • Your data stays yoursPlugchoice records your sessions in your own account. A credit aggregator reads them only with your consent.
  • You connect your own chargerYour charger stays connected to Plugchoice when you change credit aggregator. Plugchoice works with many chargers that speak OCPP, depending on model, firmware and configuration.
  • You choose who registers your kWhA credit aggregator reads your sessions through our API, with your consent. In the Netherlands you pick one of 7 credit aggregators in the app.
  • A charging app for every dayIn the same app you start and stop charging and see every session with its kWh. Charging on solar and cheaper hours takes a Smart Charging license.

How it works

Every session is recorded

Once your charger is connected, Plugchoice records each session: how many kWh, when, and at which charger.

A credit aggregator reads your sessions

Only with your consent: in the Netherlands you choose one in the app, elsewhere it connects through our API.

The credit aggregator registers your kWh

It registers them in your country's scheme, sells the credits and pays you under its own terms. Whether charging at home counts depends on the country.

Questions about carbon credits

Nothing. Recording your sessions and seeing them in the app and the web portal is free. Exporting them as a file is part of Plugchoice Plus, coming soon. In the Netherlands the credit aggregator you choose takes a commission, and the app shows it before you choose.

That depends on the country. In the Netherlands you need a MID meter in the charger. In Austria the measured kWh count with a calibrated meter in the charger, and in Lithuania a meter that can be read remotely is enough. Ask your credit aggregator what it accepts.

For some chargers we can still fetch earlier sessions. Connect your charger and you see right away what came through.

No. Plugchoice records your sessions, and a credit aggregator reads them with your consent. It registers them in your country's scheme, or you do it yourself where the rules allow it.
