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 is 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 cents per kWh, compared with 50 cents at a public fast-charging station.

👉 So, our assumptions are:
– Home charging point installation cost: €300
– Home charging cost: €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 outcome:
– 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 achieved by optiong for home charging offset the initial investment in the charging station and its installation. Beyond that point, the employer of our home-equipped employee begins to see savings!

👉 At Wattsy, we offer charging points starting at just 60 euros (excl. VAT), making charging much more affordable for businesses. Investing in a home charging point is therefore a sensible choice – especially since it is quite a nice benefit when your employer covers all or part of the cost!

With this, companies also have good reason to hold accountable employees with plug-in hybrids who are not playing the game of regularly charging and end up over-consuming petrol – what an irony!

Go electric, control your costs, and contribute to the transition towards decarbonized mobility with Wattsy 🌿
