For company fleet managers, the transition to electric mobility is obviously not limited to the purchase of vehicles – cars, motorbikes or bicycles.

Monitoring charging costs, whether at home, while roaming or on site, is just as crucial to optimising the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of company cars.

And since, for the time being – and even though carmakers are making huge efforts in the right direction – electric vehicles cost more than their internal combustion equivalents, anything that can be done to lower the other components of this TCO is worth doing 💡

As we have seen here, the place where you recharge has a major impact on the cost of using a company electric vehicle. It is therefore in their interest to equip their own car parks as extensively as possible so that their employees can charge there as a matter of priority, at a much lower cost than public recharging.

🚧 But the cost of equipping a car park en masse must not be too daunting. We’ve seen many of our customers start out with conventional, fairly expensive solutions: more than €1,000 per 7, 11 or 22 kW terminal, an electrical installation that has to be sized accordingly, often resulting in costs per space of well over €3,000 or €4,000. Viable for a few spaces, no doubt, but for an entire car park with 150 spaces?

✅ That’s where we come in: our sockets and charging points start at just a few dozen euros. They can also be installed at an average of 30% to 40% less cost than traditional solutions, by relying on the power base and the reuse of existing infrastructure, while offering a service that is perfectly consistent with the needs of employees spending several hours on site (as we explain here). This makes it perfectly feasible to equip on a larger scale. 🚀

👉 And since, to quote Niels Bohr, ‘that which cannot be measured does not exist’, with our monitoring system our customers have all the consumption data they need and all the means to manage any billing requirements they may have. Right down to the amount of Co2 avoided by their electrified fleet.

So that the switch to electric mobility also represents an economic opportunity for companies!
