What is the GHG reward?
Companies that place fossil fuels on the market are legally required to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. They can meet this obligation by having the emissions savings from electric vehicles credited towards it. Registered keepers of electric cars receive an annual payment for this: the GHG premium.

Good to know
Everything handled by Elektrovorteil: You enter into a contract directly with Elektrovorteil. They take care of your registration, notifying the Umweltbundesamt and paying your premium. Elektrovorteil is your direct point of contact if you have any questions about your premium.
Premium amount and payment: The current information and terms on the Elektrovorteil website apply.
No link to your charging station: In Germany, the premium is paid per vehicle. You do not need a wallbox to receive it.
Austria: A reward for every kilowatt-hour actually charged
An attractive offer for Austria is coming soon.
In Austria, home charging is usually reimbursed at a flat rate of 1,500 kWh per vehicle per year. With KEBA, you can receive more: we plan to make it easy to share your KEBA wallbox charging data from the KEBA eMobility Portal with our partner Elektrovorteil. You will then receive a premium for every kilowatt-hour you actually charge. If you drive a lot and do most of your charging at home, this can give you more than the flat rate for your vehicle.
Your charging station must meet these requirements:
It must be a KEBA wallbox with a MID-compliant meter (or an equivalent meter that complies with German metering and calibration law).
It must be permanently installed and connected to the KEBA eMobility Portal.
The energy must be measured directly at the charging station. Mobile wallboxes, charging cables with metering functions and meters installed later by the user are not accepted.
Why is this possible in Austria but not in Germany?
In Austria, electricity from private charging points can be credited according to the amount actually measured, provided it is measured and recorded in a verifiable way. The flat rate of 1,500 kWh per year applies only when this is not possible. In Germany, electricity charged at private charging points is credited using a fixed estimate per vehicle. Meter-based accounting is only available there for publicly accessible charging points.
