Easily share your home charger with other electric drivers and earn extra income.

You can earn up to several hundred euros per year without any additional investment. The app is free to use, and the EV driver pays a small commission. This increases the return on your solar panels while making a positive impact.

Here's how it works:

1. Download the free Voltbee app
   available from early 2026 in the Google Play Store and the App Store.
2. Register your home charger
   Set your own availability and preferred rate. You’ll receive a notification when someone requests a charging session, which you can confirm with a single tap.
3. Start earning
   Once you confirm the reservation, the EV driver can start charging immediately. There are no additional costs, and you can cancel at any time.

Your home charger is typically used only about 5% of the time. If you share it six times per month at a rate of €0.40 per kWh, you can earn around €238 per year. That’s comparable to the annual output of 10 solar panels. As a result, your total solar-related income can nearly double, increasing your overall return from roughly 6% to 12%.

In a favourable and realistic scenario where your charger is shared once per day, annual earnings can exceed €1,000. Even then, the occupancy rate rises to only about 16%, meaning your charger remains available 85% of the time.

Your exact earnings depend on the number of charging sessions, the rate you set, your charger type and your own solar generation. Each charging session also increases your positive impact by making optimal use of locally produced green energy.

You can share almost any charger, but the best experience comes with a charger that supports OCPP. OCPP is the standard language modern chargers use to communicate. You can easily check in your charger’s (online) manual whether your model supports this standard. OCPP chargers can be connected directly to our app, allowing charging sessions to be recorded automatically. Brands such as Voltime and Zaptec promote an open ecosystem and are therefore especially well suited.

We provide the full interface for your charger, including your own charging sessions. OCPP cannot forward only shared sessions, so our app manages all sessions together. You can remove this interface at any time via the OCPP link, after which your charger immediately switches back to the manufacturer’s default app.

If you don’t have an OCPP charger or prefer not to use the interface, you can still share. In that case, you rent out your charger based on time instead of kWh registration, with similar earnings. You can easily switch between both options in the app.

You always retain full control over who can use your home charger. In the app, you set your own rate and availability. You can also approve reservation requests manually, ensuring you always know who is coming to charge.

If you use an OCPP charger, we provide the interface to manage both your own and shared charging sessions. Since OCPP is not designed for partial session management, our app handles the complete overview of all sessions in one place.

Want to end the connection? You can remove it at any time via the OCPP link in your charger’s account. Your charger will immediately switch back to the manufacturer’s default app, keeping everything fully under your control.

If you don’t have an OCPP charger or prefer not to use the interface, you can still share. In that case, you rent out your charging spot based on time instead of kWh registration, with similar earnings. You can easily switch between both options in the app.

You have full control over the price you set for your home charger. A good rule of thumb is to be about 20% cheaper than the public chargers in your area. This keeps your charger attractive to other EV drivers while still giving you a healthy margin. In practice, this often results in a total rate of around €0.40 per kWh. Our recommendation is that you, as the host, maintain at least a 30% margin. Keep in mind that Voltbee charges a 15% commission to the EV driver.

You can adjust your rate based on your location, situation and local market conditions. Always compare public charging prices in your neighbourhood. A rate that is too high will reduce demand, while a rate that is too low limits your earnings. You can also experiment with different rates to discover what works best for your charger.
