Utilising your back-office management system for your EV chargers is the best way to build a holistic approach to EV fleet management. Having one system to manage charging sessions for fleets that are on-the-road, at home or at the office, will streamline the process and remove the barriers to effective EV fleet management.
Say goodbye to the complexities of juggling various electric vehicle (EV) charging platforms across different sites. Thanks to a centralised back-office solution, your employees can have the convenience of charging their EVs seamlessly at home, in the office, and while on the move at public EV charging stations, all under one integrated platform.
Where do you charge EV fleets?
When switching to an EV fleet, strategising the charging process for your employees is a crucial element that requires careful planning. Creating a holistic approach where employees can charge at home, on-the-road and at the office is a strategy for success.
- Home charging: Home charging becomes a breeze for employees who use their EVs as their main mode of transport. They can conveniently charge their vehicles overnight at their own properties, without the hassle of searching for public charging stations.
- Workplace charging: Workplace charging offers a convenient solution for employees at the office. They can easily charge their EVs during the day, ensuring a full battery before hitting the road.
- Public EV charging: Whether it's a long-distance trip or a quick stopover, easy access to EV chargers ensures your fleet is always on the move.
How a back-office management system can create a holistic strategy to EV fleet management
But how do you handle employee reimbursements for energy usage at home or on-the-go? Introducing Virta, an intelligent back-office system utilised by Devitech.
By connecting home EV chargers to the same network as the workplace, Virta simplifies the process. Employees can easily pay and log all charging sessions at home, on-the-road at public EV chargers or at the office using the Virta app, ensuring precise monthly energy consumption reports for each individual. This eliminates any concerns about reimbursements, making the process seamless and hassle-free.
Here’s an example: Jack has used 100 kW this month by charging at home, and Jack is charged 28p per KW per hour by British Gas. As this is all logged on the Virta app and noted in the monthly energy consumption reports for Jack’s place of work, he’s reimbursed £28 as an expense. With this system in place, Jack feels confident in his place of work and has no issues with charging at home without fear of reimbursement issues.
Giving fleet employees the confidence that they’ll be reimbursed easily for at home and on-the-road EV charging sessions removes the barriers to EV fleet management.
