Learn how to manage your employees' EV charging efficiently with a robust charge management platform.
As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, managing employees' EV charging admin has become a need in the workplace. Whether your team is charging at the office, home, or on the go, implementing a streamlined and user-friendly system is essential. The best way to handle this is through a robust and reliablecharge management platform that allows you to effortlessly oversee your employees’ EV charging, ensuring they stay powered up, and allowing you to focus on your core business. When choosing a charge point management platform, these are the key features you should consider:
Hardware agnostic
New chargers differ from older charger technology, and when combined with hundreds of different models and manufacturers, integration can be tricky. Your chosen platform has to be flexible and support different brands.
Proven reliable uptime
Any downtime of charge points can disrupt operations, whether it's due to technical issues, maintenance or power outages. Ensuring that charge points are consistently available when needed is crucial.
Data security
The software needs to offer iron-clad data security by combining secure architectural principles, information integrity safeguards, and a GDPR-compliant design.
24/7 support for drivers
Don’t underestimate how crucial customer service can be for drivers if they experience any tech or charging difficulty. After all, you don’t want to get a phone call in the middle of the night if a driver needs support at your site.
Automated invoicing and reimbursements
Our automated billing and settlement engine helps you manage charging transactions with ease - regardless of what payment method the driver uses for their charging session.
Smart energy management
Smart charging management enables charge point operators to optimise their charging network and savings costs by managing energy consumption. Look for a platform that has smart energy management features such as static and dynamic load balancing, and vehicle grid integration capabilities.
Roaming-support
Drivers want to be able to charge anywhere with their charge cards. Roaming agreements need to be in place to make this simple and seamless, no matter what payment type is used. This will enable your employees to charge anywhere else, and visitors will be able to use your charge points too.
Ease and convenience for employees
Your employees shouldn’t need to worry about submitting invoices or waiting months for reimbursements. An efficient EV charge management platform should automatically generate invoices and reimburse employees for home charging promptly.
AFIR compliance
All charge point operators in Europe need to comply with the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) payment requirements, which mandates full pricing transparency and common payment options at all public charge points.

This also means that as charging networks grow in size, the amount of electricity controlled by charge point operators could become significant enough to influence the energy system.
