At Wattsy, we’re convinced that installing a home charging station for our corporate customers’ employees with company cars can pay for itself in just 4 months 📊.

Here are a few figures to help you understand what’s at stake.

Let’s take an employee who drives 45 kms a day (we didn’t invent it, it’s the average distance covered daily by the French). At a cost of around 300 euros, he or she can install a Wattsy plug at home and charge his or her business vehicle at a price averaging around 15 centimes per kWh, compared with 50 centimes at a public fast-charging station.

👉 So, our assumptions:
– Cost of installing the home charging station: €300
– Cost of home charging: €0.15/kWh
– Cost of roaming charging (very high-power public charging stations): €0.50/kWh
– Average consumption: 0.15 kWh/km
– Daily mileage: 45 km per day

🔎 And the result:
– Cost of home charging per day: €1.0125
– Cost of roaming charging per day: €3.375
– Daily savings with home charging: €2.3625

💡 Return on investment: In just over 4 months, the savings made on the cost of recharging by opting for the at-home solution offset the initial investment in the charging station and its installation. Beyond that, the employer of our home-equipped employee starts saving money!

👉 At Wattsy, we offer charging points that start at just 60 euros plus VAT, making charging much more affordable for businesses. Investing in a home charging point is therefore a sensible choice – apart from the fact that it’s nice when your employer pays for all or part of a home charging point.

With this, companies also have good reason to pull the ears of their employees equipped with plug-in hybrids who don’t play the game of regular recharging and end up over-consuming petrol – the last straw!
