Charging e-cars at the company site has long since ceased to be a rarity. And it offers many advantages not only for the employees, but also for the company itself.
E-mobility at the workplace
Since not all e-car owners have their own charging point, especially in large cities, charging at the company's location is an attractive way to charge your own electric car. Precisely because the car is parked for eight to nine hours a day anyway, this is the perfect charging option. For the company, this is a great opportunity to generate a sustainable brand image and strengthen employee loyalty. However, for this to happen, it must first be clarified who is allowed to sell electricity to third parties at all and what legal regulations exist, especially when it comes to publicly accessible charging infrastructure. You can find out all this and much more in the following article.
Fair tariffs for charging current
Generally, companies are free to choose at which rate they want to offer their employees when dispensing charging electricity. Free electricity is the most uncomplicated option, as the charging infrastructure does not have to comply with calibration law and VAT is waived. However, if the electricity is charged, this must be recorded precisely during each charging process. If you want to charge for electricity, you can use these three tariffs as a guide for tariff determination.
The public tariff is the most expensive for employees, but the charging current is a secure source of income for the company.
If the electricity is sold at a private electricity tariff, this is a fair price for employees that is also profitable for the company.
The commercial electricity tariff can be charged to employees either 1:1 or at a lower price. This is very inexpensive and therefore particularly attractive for employees.
Charging costs cleverly billed
The charging costs can be billed either by deducting the costs from the monthly fee or by a separate invoice. The charge@work solution from MOON is suitable for exact billing. With charge@work, all charging processes can be viewed and assigned to the correct cost centers. All eligible employees will be assigned charging cards that they can use to charge easily and safely at the company charging infrastructure. The exact recording also makes it possible to assess exactly when the charging infrastructure has paid for itself.
Charging for everyone
An attractive option for companies is to also make the charging infrastructure available to the public. This generates additional income and increases the utilization of the charging infrastructure. Depending on the state or federal state, there may also be subsidies for the public offering of charging infrastructure. In order to be able to offer a charging station to the public, it must comply with calibration law. This means that it is able to record the meter reading as soon as the charging process starts and ends. In addition, minimum technical requirements and the Price Indication Ordinance must be observed. Generally speaking, the price can be set freely, but it must be billed according to the kWh charged and clearly displayed. In addition to the price of electricity, other fees for (long-term) parking or service can also be added.

Charging infrastructure as the key to success
Charging infrastructure therefore pays off financially for employees and for the company. By providing charging infrastructure, a sustainable corporate image can be shown and employee loyalty can be strengthened. If the charging infrastructure is publicly accessible, the company can benefit from additional income and, depending on the location, benefit from subsidies. MOON offers a broad portfolio of charging infrastructure that can be ideally tailored to every need. With the charge@work, all billing transactions can be viewed and billed centrally.
