Are Charging Stations Always Necessary?
Transitioning to an electric vehicle (EV) fleet often raises the question of whether it is necessary to install charging stations at employees' homes. While charging stations provide extra convenience, they are not always essential. Here are some considerations and alternatives that demonstrate why charging stations are not always necessary.
HOME CHARGING VIA A STANDARD OUTLET
One of the most accessible ways to charge an electric vehicle is through a standard outlet. Although this might not be the fastest method, it provides enough charging capacity for most daily trips. With a standard outlet, a car can easily charge 150 kilometers overnight, which is sufficient for many drivers' commutes.
PUBLIC CHARGING
Public charging points are a convenient option for drivers without home charging capabilities. These charging points can be found at various locations such as parking garages, shopping centers, and along highways. Using public charging points, employees can charge their cars without needing extra hardware installed at home. This offers flexibility and convenience for employees living in urban areas or rental properties.
WORKPLACE CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE
Providing charging facilities at the workplace can be an important consideration for companies. By installing semi-public charging points that can be used by both employees and external users, you create a versatile charging solution. This can be especially useful for employees who do not have the option to charge at home.
EFFICIENCY AND COST SAVINGS
Avoiding the installation of home charging stations can result in significant cost savings. Using the EEVEE platform, charging sessions can be easily registered and verified, regardless of where the charging takes place. This offers a reliable way to reimburse charging costs without the need for extra charging hardware.
EEVEE'S UNIQUE APPROACH
EEVEE Mobility offers an innovative solution by sourcing data directly from the car. This data is always 100% verifiable and guarantees that the charging sessions are from the home location and the specific VIN number of the company car. This makes it possible to reimburse home-charged energy with ease and certainty, without relying on specific charging stations or extra hardware.
CONCLUSION
Installing charging stations at employees' homes is not always necessary. There are several alternatives such as charging via a standard outlet, public charging points, and workplace infrastructure that provide sufficient charging options. By using the EEVEE platform, companies can efficiently manage and reimburse charging costs without the complexity of extra charging hardware.
