The Problem

Why does this extension exist?

The Netherlands has one of Europe's highest EV adoption rates. But 70% of Dutch online transactions use iDEAL — not credit cards. Any CPO operating in the Netherlands without iDEAL will lose the majority of their potential customers. Dutch drivers expect iDEAL as the default — if it's not available, they simply won't charge at your station.
