Yes, many company EVs are charged at employees’ homes, but the business should decide how charging, reimbursement, equipment and records will work before relying on it.
Check the property and charger
Not every home has suitable off-street parking or electrical capacity. Installation should be carried out properly and with any permissions required.
Set a reimbursement method
Decide how business charging will be measured and reimbursed. Keep the approach consistent and review current HMRC guidance where tax treatment is relevant.
Plan for employees who cannot charge at home
A home-charging policy should not assume every driver has a driveway. Workplace or public charging may need to form part of the fleet plan.
Think about leavers and vehicle changes
If the company contributes to charging equipment, decide in advance what happens when an employee leaves or no longer has a company EV.
