Geld Für eAuto

What Geld Für eAuto does

Geld Für eAuto, operated by ZusammenStromen GmbH, is a Hamburg-based digital platform that enables German electric vehicle owners, fleet operators, and charging station operators to monetize their legally-entitled Treibhausgasminderungsquote (THG-Quote, or Greenhouse Gas Reduction Quota) certificates. Founded in 2021 and headquartered at Holzdamm 40, Hamburg, the company began processing quota claims in early 2022 after German regulations permitted individual vehicle owners to sell their THG quotas for the first time. The platform aggregates quotas from private BEV owners, commercial fleets, wallbox owners, and public charging station operators, then sells the bundled certificates to quota-obligated fuel companies while retaining a spread between the market sale price and the customer payout.

The platform's product surface includes a self-serve consumer portal with three payout tiers (Express €320, Garantie €370, Risiko up to €400 per eAuto), a business portal with class-based commercial pricing (M1 €370, N1 €475, N2 €2,890, N3 €4,760, M3 eBus €10,380), wallbox and public charging station registration at 13 ct/kWh (up to €5,200 per station), a referral program paying €25 per successful enrollee, and a partner API (Schnittstelle) for resellers such as HEIMLADEN and clever-PV. The technology stack is a web-based document-handling pipeline covering registration, Umweltbundesamt submission, certificate issuance, and payout, augmented by an annual renewal subscription (Prämien-Abo) and a 14-day best price guarantee. Distribution is hybrid: product-led growth for private consumers and dedicated Key Account Managers for B2B customers, with strategic alignment to the ZDK automotive trade association for dealer channel development.

Geld Für eAuto claims to be one of the largest THG platforms in Germany, has paid out over €30 million in premiums to customers cumulatively, and employs approximately 39 people including full-time staff, freelancers, and working students. It is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investors, operates exclusively within Germany, and is a member of the Bundesverband THG Quote and GDD e.V. industry associations.

2. Premium Plans (Express/Garantie/Risiko): Offers three premium payout tiers: Express (320€ instant), Garantie (370€ guaranteed), and Risiko (up to 400€ market-linked). Revenue generated from spread between market certificate price and guaranteed payouts.

Broad incumbents

• Octopus Energy Germany: International green-energy retailer expanding in Germany with EV-tariff and smart-charging products. Comparable as a capital-rich incumbent that could integrate carbon-credit and EV-related services into its German customer offerings.
• Shell Recharge Solutions: Shell's EV charging business (formerly The New Motion / Greenlots) operating pan-European charging networks. Comparable as an incumbent with deep capital and energy-trading expertise that could integrate THG-quota intermediary services at scale across Europe.
• EnBW mobility+: Major German utility EnBW's e-mobility subsidiary, operating one of Germany's largest public charging networks. Comparable to Geld Für eAuto as a competing platform for charging-station THG premium registration and as a broader EV ecosystem incumbent in Germany.

Regional players

• Lichtblick: German green-energy supplier with EV charging and dynamic-tariff products. Adjacent competitor in the German EV-energy ecosystem with potential overlap in customer base, though operating primarily as an energy retailer rather than a THG broker.

• 1Komma5°: German climate-tech company focused on residential solar, heat pumps, EV charging, and dynamic electricity tariffs. Comparable to Geld Für eAuto through their shared focus on the German EV / energy ecosystem, particularly with the clever-PV-style partnership on solar and charging adjacencies.

Direct peers

• The Mobility House: German-headquartered e-mobility platform offering EV charging solutions, smart-charging software, and energy services. Comparable to Geld Für eAuto as both operate at the intersection of EV ownership, charging infrastructure, and energy/carbon-related value-added services in the DACH market.
• Wirelane: German provider of EV charging infrastructure software and payment solutions for charging station operators. Comparable to Geld Für eAuto's charging-station-registration and management services, targeting similar enterprise customers (charging point operators, fleet managers).
• eQuota: German THG-quota platform enabling EV owners to claim annual premiums. Direct competitor to Geld Für eAuto, operating with a similar aggregator business model and serving both private EV owners and business customers in the German market.
