The electrification of vehicle fleets has increased sharply in recent years. Many companies recognize the advantages of switching to electric vehicles and are increasingly investing in charging infrastructure. In this context, charging stations play an important role both at the company site and at the employees' homes. This blog article highlights the benefits and synergies of using charging infrastructure at both locations.
Convenient charging options for all employees:
By installing charging infrastructure at home and at the company site, you as a company offer your employees more flexibility regarding their charging options. Employees can charge their electric vehicles conveniently at home after work or during working hours at the company site. This increases the acceptance of electromobility and facilitates the switch to electric vehicles.
The combination of charging points at both locations also expands access to electromobility for additional groups of people. Employees who do not currently have the option of installing a wallbox at home can use the charging stations at the company site and vice versa. This enables greater flexibility and ensures that many more employees are eligible to switch to electromobility.
Cost optimization:
The combination of charging infrastructure @home and @work can lead to an optimization of the charging costs incurred. Charging power tends to be cheapest at the company site. If you as an employer provide it to your employees at no additional cost, it is even tax-free. However, if your employees cannot charge at the company site at all times and they do not have a wallbox at home, they will have to charge at the comparatively expensive public charging stations.
For this reason, it is advisable to install wallboxes at your employees' homes if possible. The charging costs there are somewhat more expensive than at the company location, but significantly cheaper than at public charging points. In addition, the entire charging infrastructure, including accessories and installation, is tax-exempt here as well - as long as the hardware remains the property of the employer. In addition, there is the convenience factor for your employees, which pays off particularly well for you as an employer.
Sustainability aspect:
The use of charging stations at both locations underlines your company's commitment to sustainability. By promoting electromobility, you as a company are helping to reduce CO2 emissions and making an important contribution to environmental protection. This can have a positive impact on your company's image and make you stand out as an attractive employer on the personnel market.
Summary:
The use of charging stations both at home and at the company site offers numerous advantages for your company. In addition to the obvious cost and tax benefits, we would particularly like to highlight the impact on your company's attractiveness to new and existing employees.
