What do I enter as the rate if I am a leased driver, individual or business customer?
What amount should I enter as an individual?
We recommend that you base the rate on the exact electricity rate from your energy contract. You can use the following:
- Do you have a double tariff, such as an off-peak and normal tariff? Then use your normal tariff (including energy tax and ODE).
-
Do you have a dynamic contract? Enter your average tariff. Estimating is also allowed. You can always adjust it later.
- Note: round your rate up to an amount in whole eurocents.
- Sometimes your employer or leasing company will make a different agreement with you, such as a maximum rate.
VAT in your charge rate (as an individual)
You enter your full amount including VAT. Suppose you pay €0,50 per kWh, then the following happens:
- Jij ontvangt van Blue Current €0,50 per kWh.
- The owner of the charge card (often employer) pays €0.50 + 21% VAT = €0.605 per kWh.
- Blue Current remits the VAT to the tax authorities.
Conclusion: Enter the amount you want to be paid (as a private person)
What amount should I enter as a business customer?
If you do your quarterly VAT return and have provided us with your VAT number, Blue Current does not pay VAT on your charging sessions, but we automatically pay out the VAT to you. You can recognise this by a VAT item on your credit note.

Has your charge point just been installed?
Consider increasing the monthly amount with your energy supplier in advance, so you are not surprised by a high bill.
An individual with an all-electric car (and a home charging point from Blue Current) uses more electricity than a household with an internal combustion engine car.
On an annual basis, the EV driver uses an average of 2,500 kWh to charge the car.
