For example, an electric car can be charged at home, at work, or at public charging stations. For this reason, lawmakers use flat-rate electricity amounts for certain vehicles. These are set once per calendar year based on the respective vehicle class. This allows the GHG quota to be utilized without having to document every single charging session for a vehicle.    <\/span><\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>It is important to note that<\/strong> the flat-rate vehicle allowance generally applies to battery-electric vehicles only.

Here, the actual amount of electricity supplied can be taken into account. As a result, the potential GHG compensation depends more heavily on how much electricity is charged via a qualified charging station. A heavily used public charging station can generate a correspondingly higher amount of eligible electricity than a charging station with few charging sessions. This creates an additional revenue stream for operators in addition to their actual charging revenues.    <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
