Billing for charging electric cars: how to optimize costs?
Mar 6, 2025
The accounting for charging electric cars is an important issue worth exploring. With the rise of e-cars, charging company vehicles is increasingly becoming a daily routine in many places, but it is essential to be aware of how to manage this efficiently and legally.
Our blog contains a lot of useful information about electric vehicle charging, in this article we will explore the accounting possibilities from both the employer's and the employee's perspectives.
Employer support: how can employees be supported?
If employees use their own home chargers for the car used for commuting, the employer can support this process. But how can they do this? One of the most common solutions is for the employer to install a separate meter (POD) that is exclusively used for charging the company car. In this case, the provider bills the electricity directly to them, thus avoiding tax obligations. If the employment relationship ends, the meter can simply be removed, and there is no tax payment obligation incurred.
Solution without a meter: how can we account for consumption?
Another option is to connect a MID-certified submeter to the existing meter, which accurately tracks the charging consumption. Voltie chargers assist in maintaining an accurate record of consumption, making it easy to track how much energy each employee used. With the help of RFID identifiers, the chargers can be used by multiple employees, and the system stores all data. Based on the monthly reports, it is clearly shown which chargers were used by whom and for how long.

Through the system, employees can start charging with unique RFID cards, ensuring that consumption is recorded immediately. Every month we automatically send a report on the charges, which can be accessed by both employees and employers.
Home Charging for Employees: What is the Best Solution?
If employees charge at home, the simplest solution is to install their own wall charger. This way, the efficiency of charging can be increased, and consumption can be easily monitored. By logging into the app, employees can quickly and easily request a monthly consumption report, which serves as the basis for accounting. Additionally, a MID-certified submeter can be purchased as an accessory to the Voltie chargers, which can easily be connected to the charger. This device allows for precise recording of charging data. It is ensured for both employees and employers that only actual consumption is accounted for after charging.
