A new system to help fleets manage employees’ home EV charging is being launched by Mobilize Power Solutions.
Fleet@Home, which is being added to the Mobilize Manager software platform, is designed to allow drivers to directly expense business miles via their home EV charger.
The system is supported by the Sevadis Autel AC 7 kW home charger, which sends back data in real time to the Mobilize Manager platform.
The data includes charging sessions, energy consumption and the cost of electricity used (based on tariff details signed off by the fleet manager), with the employee then reimbursed for the energy used for business miles, via Mobilize Manager’s integrated Stripe payment functionality.
Mobilize Power Solutions managing director Mark Dickens said: “Nearly 60% of electric vehicles are registered to businesses, with many of them being charged at home. However, it is time consuming and difficult to separate electricity used for charging, from a domestic bill.
“This can lead to some drivers not even bothering to claim back expenses or calculating the cost incorrectly, which means that EV drivers are likely to be out of pocket at the end of the month.
“This is why we have added the Fleet@Home functionality to Mobilize Manager – making it fairer for the business driver and easier for the fleet operator to manage.”
