What home charging reimbursement is and how it works

Home charging reimbursement lets an employer reimburse an employee for electricity used to charge a company vehicle at home. The charging location must be connected to Smart Fuel Pass and linked to an active reimbursement relationship.

Who does what

• The employer creates the relationship, sets the reimbursement tariff and reviews the monthly charging period.
• The employee accepts the invitation, selects the home charging location and receives an approved reimbursement to their selected Smart Fuel Pass client contract.
• The location owner approves the use of a company-owned or third-party location when approval is required.

What happens during the month

Charging sessions are collected throughout the calendar month. They contain delivered energy in kWh, but their financial value is zero at that point: no financial settlement is made per session.

At the end of the month, Smart Fuel Pass closes the sessions into a reimbursement period. The employer can review individual sessions during the configured Review Window. Approved sessions are paid as one monthly reimbursement: approved kWh multiplied by the tariff set by the employer.

Before you start

• The employer needs an active Smart Fuel Pass client contract and a reimbursement tariff.
• The employee needs their own Smart Fuel Pass client contract in the same currency as the employer's contract.
• The home charging location must be connected to Smart Fuel Pass. A location means all chargers assigned to that location.

Important distinction

This is not a payment from a driver at a public station. It is a monthly reimbursement from the employer to the employee for approved home charging. An active home reimbursement relationship also prevents the separate EUR 4 excluding VAT fee for zero-price charging from being applied to the charging covered by that relationship.
