Reimbursing home charging for company cars
Home charging is where electric car policies usually get stuck. A short guide to metering it separately and reimbursing it without paperwork.

Electrifying a company car policy rarely fails on range. It fails on administration: home charging arrives as a private electricity bill with no session detail, while public charging lands as receipts across several networks.
Meter the car, not the house
Sessions on the driver’s wallbox should be recorded separately from household consumption. That gives finance a per-session record instead of an estimate.
Use the card drivers already carry
Drivers can start a home session with the corporate charging card they already use on the road, so home, workplace and public charging end up in the same system.
Let the policy do the maths
Reimburse at a fixed rate per kWh, or at the driver’s actual tariff.
Apply the rule automatically to every session.
Send one monthly statement per driver.
Export the result for payroll and accounting.
The outcome is one statement the employer can settle, and no individual expense claims for the driver.
