What Stekker.app does

Stekker.app B.V. is a Dutch private limited company founded in 2018 (firmographic data lists 2019) and headquartered at Herengracht 208, Amsterdam, with 1–10 employees. The company builds smart-charging software for electric vehicles and distributed energy assets, organized around a proprietary orchestration engine (the Stekker Engine) that schedules charging sessions against dynamic quarter-hour electricity prices, live solar output, and Dutch grid-operator congestion signals in real time. It supports OCPP 1.6/2.0.1, S2, and OpenADR protocols natively, with a local connectivity layer (Stekker Edge) for sites preferring on-prem integration.

Its product surface comprises a consumer-facing ERE registration and smart-charging service (no subscription, free signup at stekker.app), an enterprise energy-management system (Stekker EMS) for offices, logistics depots, and CPO clusters controlling hundreds of charging points within contracted grid capacity, and Embedded Solutions — a white-label API that lets charge-point operators and energy suppliers embed Stekker's orchestration inside their own platforms. As a NEa-registered issuer of Emission Reduction Units (EREs) under the Dutch Emissions Authority, Stekker monetizes a 15% commission on ERE proceeds (rising to 25% when bundled with active smart charging on solar or dynamic prices), with energy-bill smart-charging savings retained 100% by the customer. Distribution combines a self-serve consumer portal, direct enterprise sales, embedded API partnerships (e.g., the November 2025 alliance with Road, formerly E-Flux by Road), and a partner channel of EV-charger installers; the ERE revenue stream is currently Netherlands-only and payouts are scheduled annually for 2026 before transitioning to quarterly from 2027.

Revenue model

1. ERE Commission (Standard): Stekker charges 15% commission on gross proceeds from ERE (Emission Reduction Unit) trading. Covers NEa registration, market trading, administration, verification, certification, and payout. Commission is exclusive of VAT.
2. ERE Commission (Smart Charging Bundle): When customers combine ERE registration with active smart charging on solar or dynamic prices, commission increases to 25%. The extra 10 percentage points cover operational costs of smart charging algorithms, servers, development, and real-time charging control.
3. Smart Charging Savings (No Commission): Energy bill savings from smart charging (shifting to cheaper hours, solar self-consumption) accrue 100% to customers with no commission charged by Stekker.

Core offering

Stekker.app develops smart charging software that orchestrates EV charging based on dynamic quarter-hour prices, solar production, and grid congestion signals in real time. The company operates as an NEa-registered ERE issuer, registering Emission Reduction Units for every kWh charged and trading them on behalf of customers. It offers consumer smart charging services for Dutch homeowners and enterprise tools (Stekker EMS) plus white-label Embedded Solutions APIs for CPOs, energy suppliers, and grid operators.

Product overview

Stekker.app operates as a smart charging orchestration platform consisting of multiple integrated offerings. The core product is Stekker EMS (Energy Management System) for enterprise customers, which optimizes EV charging across entire locations by balancing grid capacity, energy prices, solar production, and vehicle priorities. Embedded Solutions provides white-label API access for CPOs and suppliers. For consumers, Stekker offers automatic ERE registration and smart charging services that leverage dynamic pricing, solar production, and grid congestion management. The platform supports OCPP 1.6/2.0.1, S2, and OpenADR protocols, with local connectivity via Stekker Edge. The company has offered software solutions since 2019.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Road (formerly E-Flux by Road): European charge point management platform offering CPO back-office software with roaming and OCPP integrations. Both partner and direct competitor — Stekker integrates into Road's platform while also offering overlapping smart-charging functionality.
• GreenFlux: Netherlands-based charging management software provider (now part of Shell) serving CPOs with smart charging, roaming, and OCPP-based platform services. Highly comparable on the B2B/embedded side that Stekker EMS targets.
• Jedlix: Dutch smart charging platform offering optimized charging for EV drivers and grid services. Directly comparable to Stekker's consumer and flexibility-market play, including dynamic-price optimization and integration with Dutch grid operators.
• Hubject: Berlin-based eRoaming platform for EV charging with interoperable charging-network services. Comparable through its OCPP/S2 protocol-based ecosystem positioning and B2B partner model, though focused on roaming rather than end-user ERE/smart-charging optimization.
• Ampcontrol: Software platform for smart EV charging and energy management, offering real-time optimization and OCPP integrations. Comparable product offering to Stekker EMS for fleet and depot operators, though focused on multiple European markets rather than Netherlands-specific ERE monetization.
• Last Mile Solutions: Dutch provider of white-label EV charging management software for CPOs and resellers. Directly comparable on the B2B embedded platform side that Stekker addresses via its Embedded Solutions API.

Broad incumbents

• EVBox: Amsterdam-headquartered EV charging hardware and software provider with a broad portfolio including smart charging and energy management. Comparable through its overlapping software capabilities and Dutch market footprint, but operates at vastly larger scale as a hardware-anchored incumbent.
• Alfen: Dutch provider of EV charging stations, energy storage, and grid solutions with proprietary smart-charging functionality. Comparable in the Dutch market and on grid-flexibility offerings, but much larger and hardware-led.
• ChargePoint: Large North American/global EV charging network and software platform with smart-charging and energy management features. Comparable on the broader CPO software stack, but operates at vastly larger scale and with a different geographic focus.

Others

• ElaadNL: Dutch knowledge and innovation center for smart charging, founded by grid operators, that runs GOPACS congestion-market pilots. Comparable as an ecosystem participant influencing the same Dutch grid-flexibility and smart-charging standards Stekker integrates with.
