An easy way to bill the cost of business charging at home? For a long time this has involved a lot of organisational effort for fleet managers and company car users. Significant help is now at hand in Germany, however, thanks to the smart Home Charging\u00b9\u207e Service from LOGPAY Transport Services GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Volkswagen Financial Services AG.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fleet professionals know: When it comes to establishing and operating an electrified fleet, attention to detail is vital. Does it make sense for a company to install its own charging infrastructure on site? Which electric models suit the driving profiles of the users? And how can I convince my team of the benefits of electric mobility, considering they have been driving vehicles with combustion engines for years? As regards the last point, straightforward charging at home is a key factor, among others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Billing plays a key role<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n

Sebastian Lehmensieck, Key Account Manager at LOGPAY, can only confirm this: \u201cIn conversations with fleet managers, you continually hear that this is a real headache. On the one hand, the aim is naturally to make it as easy as possible for users in order to increase acceptance. On the other hand, the administrative effort involved in billing can be significant.\u201d Drivers are frequently left with no option but to carefully go through their private electricity bill and pick out the charging costs that relate to business use. As for fleet managers, they were just as frequently confronted with a wide array of document formats: \u201cOne driver would submit their invoice by email, another would create an Excel list, and yet another would send a Word document with a table\u201d, explains Lehmensieck\u2019s colleague Danny Z\u00e4nkert, likewise a Key Account Manager at LOGPAY.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Is it worth the effort?<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n

Well LOGPAY thought so anyway: Finding a simple solution that works for all sides is definitely worth the effort. And that solution goes by the name Home Charging Service. The central idea behind the smart service is the automatic and standardised transmission of charging data to the company\u2019s fleet management. Sebastian Lehmensieck describes the process: \u201cCompany car users simply need a wall box from the Volkswagen Group with integrated MID-approved electricity metre, which can be installed by Volkswagen subsidiary Elli. Charging is then possible at home using the familiar Charge&Fuel Card \u2013 the second component of the system. And that\u2019s where the effort also ends for the user, since the charging data goes to fleet management in a harmonised CSV file.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Two packages \u2013 excellent time savings<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\n

The Home Charging Services package is designed to offer companies a choice between a basic and a comfort version. Danny Z\u00e4nkert explains the differences: \u201cIn the basic package, fleet management reimburses users the costs based on the data supplied. The comfort package goes a step further: LOGPAY makes an advance payment in this case and transfers the electricity costs incurred to the company car user.\u201d Company car drivers have to register once in the Elli FleetDriver portal for this purpose. Z\u00e4nkert adds that this would save a considerable amount of work, primarily for medium to large sized fleets as it would ultimately eliminate countless individual transfers having to be made. Instead, LOGPAY regularly issues a collective invoice to the company, accompanied of course by a detailed breakdown of the charging data. However, regardless of which option best suits the company, the fact is: managing lots of small documents is now a thing of the past. \u201cWe think that this will really encourage acceptance on the part of users, while fleet management will have more time for important strategic tasks\u201d, sums up LOGPAY expert Sebastian Lehmensieck<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Charge and pay on the move<\/strong><\/h2>\n

LOGPAY customers no longer need to have their Charge&Fuel Card directly to hand or the app open in order to start the charging and payment process at the charging station. That\u2019s because when Plug&Charge is set up for the first time, all of the data needed for the charging process is saved in the vehicle and can be exchanged directly over the connection to the Plug&Charge-enabled charging station. Data security according to the ISO 15118 quality standard is obviously the main priority in this respect. All of this makes charging electric vehicles now even more convenient. LOGPAY customers continue to receive an invoice at the end of the month as usual, with a consolidated list of all expenses.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Note: The prerequisite for use is a Plug&Charge-enabled vehicle, for example, from Volkswagen or Audi. Users can charge their vehicles quickly and easily at any of the 4,000 charging points available throughout Europe. Thanks to the practical filter option, Plug&Charge-enabled charging stations can be found quickly in the Charge&Fuel app \u2013 and navigation to the chosen station can be started directly from the app. Among others, all charging stations in the high-performance IONITY network can be used.<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”29738″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud of the fact that we have made charging even more convenient for customers. With our Plug&Charge offer, the vehicle communicates directly with the relevant charging station. We are therefore doing our part in continuing to advance the transition to electric mobility.\u201d <\/span><\/h2>\n
