Charging fleet vehicles at home
Take-home vehicles can charge at the driver's home if there is off-street parking and a suitable switchboard. The harder part is agreeing how the driver gets paid back.
What to sort out
- The charger. An electrician should check the switchboard and parking. Some drivers can start with a standard power point, but it is slow.
- Reimbursement. Agree how the driver is paid back for the power used.
- Records. Choose a charger or an app that records the kWh for each vehicle.
- Tax. Check the treatment with your accountant.
Solar at home
If a driver has solar, the cost of that energy is not the same as a grid rate. Agree on one simple approach upfront.
