Pros and points to consider

Pros

Den Hartog Charging:
  • Also without a smart charger
  • Den Hartog may not raise your commission on its own, except when new law or NEa rules require it. Quote from the source: "Wij mogen deze voorwaarden eenzijdig wijzigen, behalve artikel 7.2 (tenzij in uw voordeel, of in overeenstemming met de alinea hieronder)."
GridCredits:
  • Highest net payout in this comparison
  • Lowest commission in this comparison
  • Leaving early costs nothing
  • Paid quarterly, during the charging year
  • Your rate is fixed for the current calendar year and never changes retroactively. Quote from the source: "Uw tarief staat vast voor het lopende kalenderjaar. Wij wijzigen het commissiepercentage niet met terugwerkende kracht."

Points to consider

Den Hartog Charging:
  • Earnings model: 25% commission on your ERE proceeds
  • Transaction, broker, exchange and register costs and taxes come off your proceeds before the commission. Quote from the source: "verminderd met directe transactiekosten, broker- beurs- of registerkosten en belastingen die op de verkoop rusten en door ons verschuldigd zijn."
GridCredits:
  • Earnings model: 19% commission on your ERE proceeds
  • Registers through Joulo
  • Business customers: the mandatory yearly audit can be charged to you separately. Quote from the source: "De auditkosten worden bepaald door die auditpartij en kunnen apart in rekening worden gebracht."
