Globally, the shift to electric vehicles (EVs) is picking up speed, with more businesses electrifying their fleets. But despite the rapid expansion of public charging options, a large amount of EV charging happens at home.
This presents a huge opportunity for your fleet drivers; the tricky part is making it possible for them to charge at home and get reimbursed without the headache. Cue the admin nightmares that keep you up at night with looming, complicated expense claims for your team.
The solution? A streamlined home charging reimbursement product. It’s a win-win: your drivers get reimbursed accurately for their charging, and you get a single, clear view of all charging costs.
Let's plug into the top 5 reasons why you should offer home charging reimbursement to your drivers.
1. Keep your drivers happy
Happy drivers are productive drivers! When your drivers are spending their own cash to charge their work vehicles, it can cause frustration. By offering a seamless home charging reimbursement solution, you're giving your drivers flexibility to charge up, helping to keep morale high and making your company an attractive place to work.
2. Say goodbye to admin nightmares
The days of complicated expense claims and mountains of receipts are over. With a smart home charging reimbursement solution, you can automate the entire process. No more manual calculations, no more chasing receipts, and no more endless back-and-forth with your finance team. It’s all done for you, accurately and efficiently.
3. Gain full visibility and control of your costs
If you’re manually reimbursing your drivers, how much are you really spending on home charging? It's got to be hard to tell. Home charging reimbursement gives you a single, transparent view of your fleet's charging costs. This data can be used for budgeting, reporting, and making informed decisions about your fleet strategy.
4. Unlock access to cheaper energy tariffs
Did you know that electricity is often cheaper overnight? Many drivers don't, but both you and your drivers can make the most of this. A smart home charging product can help your drivers take advantage of these cheaper, off-peak rates, further reducing your fleet’s overall running costs.
5. Flexibility, no matter what energy provider
It doesn't matter who your driver's home energy provider is; a clever home charging reimbursement solution works with them all. This means you don’t have to worry about compatibility issues or forcing your drivers to switch providers. It's about giving them the freedom to charge their way, while you get all the data and transparency you need.
