Battery electric vehicles are the core scope
The official THG path mainly concerns pure battery electric vehicles. Check hybrid or provider-specific claims separately before relying on them.
UBA certification is the official step
The Umweltbundesamt certifies eligible electricity quantities and the calculated greenhouse-gas emissions when the application requirements are met.
Private payout amounts are not official facts
Official information explains the certification path. The concrete premium comes from private providers and can change, so compare current offers and conditions.
Compare providers for electric cars, charging, solar PV and energy advice.
