**Making Money with E-Cars: TMH Takes Over Quota Trading and Pays Out Revenue**
The Munich-based charging solution provider The Mobility House has now started the management and payout of greenhouse gas reduction quotas, or THG quotas, for e-car drivers. According to the provider, owners of private and business electric cars as well as fleet operators can receive at least 250 euros per vehicle from the company. If a higher price is achieved from selling the THG quota, which is determined by the dynamic market, an additional amount will be paid at the end of the year.
This benefits both the 35,000 existing customers as well as new customers. The payout is not a one-time payment but possible year after year starting from 2022. Additionally, the CO2 payouts can also be used immediately. For instance, when purchasing a wall box or mobile charging station in The Mobility House's webshop, one would receive an additional 50-euro discount and thus, after the THG quota verification, a total payout of 300 euros.
Electric car becomes an income source: THG and V2G
The so-called greenhouse gas reduction quota has been mandating mineral oil companies since 2015 to meet CO2 emission reduction targets. It serves as a legal steering instrument to reduce CO2 emissions in the transport sector and achieve climate targets. Starting in 2022, e-car users can particularly benefit from the quota through triple crediting of electricity and essentially earn money with their electric car. This is achieved by selling the saved CO2 emissions of their electric vehicle to oil companies. These companies are required to reduce their emissions. This allows them to compensate for their emissions. Thus, it ensures that fossil fuels gradually become more expensive while promoting environmentally friendly electromobility.
For the payout, electric car owners only need to register on the TMH website with their name and email address, and companies additionally with their VAT ID or tax number. They must provide their account details and upload a photo or scan of the vehicle registration certificate. Everything else will be taken care of by the company, according to the promise.
"The new quota regulation promotes electromobility in two ways: Firstly, through the annual subsidy for electric cars. Secondly, by making the introduction of fossil fuels increasingly expensive and unattractive for mineral oil companies and thereby consumers," explains Daniel Heydenreich, Managing Director of The Mobility House.
He sees the regulation as the first step towards earning money with one's own electric car. Furthermore, they are working on additional ways to integrate electric vehicles into the energy world and thereby advance sector coupling to achieve climate targets, Heydenreich continues. Additional revenue sources would also be available here: Anyone who provides a small portion of the electricity from their electric car via Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) for grid support could generate regular income. Initial pilot projects have shown that this technology could yield around 650 euros per year per electric vehicle, the TMH CEO advocates for the model.
The model remains relevant until 2030
TMH believes that the THG quota will accompany electromobility for a long time. It is expected to be in place at least until 2030. By that year, the quota-bound mineral oil companies must steadily reduce or offset a growing share of their CO2 emissions. Therefore, increasing values can be expected in the coming years.
