Can I share the charging station at home (private or via the employer of my partner) with my employer?

Situation

Your employer offers you a charging station for charging your company car. You already have a charging station at home, purchased privately or via your partner's employer. To avoid installing a 2nd charging station, you would like to use this existing charging station. The aim is for your charging sessions to be reimbursed by your employer.

1. Private charging station
   The decision to take over the CPO management of your private charging station lies primarily with your employer.
   In case your employer does not allow the takeover of a private charging station, you will most likely receive a proposal for the installation of a new charging station.
   If a takeover is allowed, it also depends on the brand of your charging station. This is because not all charging stations are compatible with our systems. Click here for the compatibility list
   
   
   • Your charging station is listed as Excluded from takeover 
     Then we cannot take over CPO management. Your fleet manager will most likely make you a proposal for the installation of a new charging station.
     
     
   • Your charging station is listed as Takeover approved or Takeover under investigation
     Then there is a real chance that taking over CPO management is possible.
     As soon as your fleet manager creates your file in our systems, you will receive an email inviting you to your online audit. In it, you can indicate that you already have a charging station. This is followed by a video audit. Based on this, we will decide whether we can take over the CPO management of your charging station.
     
     
2. Charging station via your partner's employer

• • The charging station is set Private
    In this case, the charging station is only accessible to the charge card(s) set on the charging station's whitelist (usually the charge card of your partner's employer). Thus, the consumed energy is reimbursed to your partner by his/her employer.
    
    Check with your partner's employer whether they are willing to share their charging station with another employer. Verify with the CPO operator of the charging station if they can offer a solution so that your employer can reimburse you for the energy consumed and submit this to your employer to see if this solution meets their conditions.
    
    
  • The charging station is set Public
    Then there is a real chance that you can use your charge card to charge at this charging station. This charging session is considered a public charging session and the cost for the charging session will be charged to your employer by the CPO operator of the charging station.
    
    Your partner, in turn, receives compensation from his/her CPO operator for your consumed energy. This means that your partner sells his/her energy to the CPO operator. As an individual, this has quite financial and tax implications. Read more here
