Unlock ERE revenue for your customers: Road partnering with Voltico
With the 2026 Dutch emission certificate (ERE) framework active, commercialising charging volumes has become a major revenue stream. To help your customers in the Netherlands to unlock this opportunity without the operational complexity, Road has partnered with Voltico as our preferred Booking Service Provider (Inboekdienstverlener).
Through this integration, Road manages the secure data infrastructure, while Voltico handles the compliance, validation, and trading with the Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa), allowing your users to easily monetise their charging data.
The solution is available via Road's application marketplace.
Please contact your Customer Success Manager to explore how to enable integration for your platform.

Improved session cost calculation for negative dynamic pricing
We are updating how negative energy prices are handled for business customers using our dynamic pricing features.
Previously, when market energy prices turned negative, the platform only zeroed out the energy component. Surcharges were still applied on top, meaning drivers were still charged for the session.
With this update, the total session cost is now capped at €0.00. Surcharges will be absorbed by the negative energy price rather than added on top. This allows drivers to experience true €0.00 charging on cheap days.
Clear labelling for physical charge stations
EV drivers arriving at a charging location need to identify the correct EVSE or connector. Previously, the only identifier shown was the EVSE ID (e.g. NL*EFL*EV8316676*C1). These technical identifiers rarely match what is physically printed on the charging station, creating confusion and failed charging attempts.
Now we introduced the physical_reference field into our platform, allowing operators to configure a human-readable label for each EVSE that matches what drivers see on-site.
Example — Current vs. Improved
Station EV8316676 (3 charge stations, 6 connectors)
Current (confusing) | With physical reference (clear) |
NL*EFL*EV8316676*C1 | Station 1 - Connector 1 |
NL*EFL*EV8316676*C2 | Station 1 - Connector 2 |
NL*EFL*EV8316676*C3 | Station 2 - Connector 1 |
NL*EFL*EV8316676*C4 | Station 2 - Connector 2 |
NL*EFL*EV8316676*C5 | Station 3 - Connector 1 |
NL*EFL*EV8316676*C6 | Station 3 - Connector 2 |
In the example above, the site has 3 physical charge stations, each with 2 sockets, but they are labelled as connectors 1 through 6. With physical references, the CPO can set labels that match the stickers on the hardware.
Key benefits:
Fewer failed charging attempts
Better usability at multi-station sites
Consistent driver experience across all touchpoints. The same physical reference can be used in the CPO portal, Scan-to-Pay, MSP app, and roaming partners via OCPI
Reduced support load for CPOs
Configuring connectors with customer labels is only available to field service technicians and provider admins. The physical reference field can be found on Configure Connectors screen (the connector details page for each EVSE).
CDR Delivery Receipts — Full Visibility on Roaming Billing
Know your CDRs reached the right party — without chasing anyone.
We're excited to announce CDR delivery receipts, now live for all private label customers on the Road roaming platform.
The problem we solved
When a Charge Point Operator sends a Charge Detail Record (CDR) to a roaming partner for billing, it disappears into a black box. Did the eMobility Service Provider (EMSP) actually receive it? Until now, operators had no way of knowing — and when disputes arose, resolving them meant spreadsheets, back-and-forth emails, and a lot of wasted time.
What's changed
Road now closes the loop. When a CDR is forwarded to an EMSP and they confirm receipt, we push a delivery receipt back to the originating operator — automatically, in near real-time. Every roaming session now shows one of three statuses:
Delivered — the EMSP received the CDR
Pending — still in flight, no action needed yet
Failed — delivery didn't go through, with the reason attached
Operators can filter sessions by delivery status in Session view.
The status is also visible in session details.
Why it matters
Disputes resolved faster. If a roaming partner claims they never received a CDR, operators now have the evidence to prove otherwise.
Failures caught early. Instead of discovering missing CDRs at month-end reconciliation, operators can spot and act on them right away.
Zero effort per session. Once enabled, receipts flow back automatically — nothing to configure, nothing to trigger manually.
Availability
This feature is enabled by default for all private label customers at no additional cost — it's core platform functionality. CPOs using our Roaming-as-a-Service offering can also get access upon request.
