To determine what share of your electricity bill can be attributed to the charging of your electric or plug-in hybrid company vehicle, we look at the charging station’s consumption figures (in kWh). These are recorded by a calibrated meter installed within the unit (the ‘consumption’). Only consumption recorded while charging with the public charge card will be reimbursed.
In the MobilityPlus platform, you can check your home charging sessions yourself. Click here for more information
Situation 1: MobilityPlus reimburses the charging sessions
When your employer decides that MobilityPlus will take care of the reimbursement, your employer has the choice of applying either the regional rate per kWh or the national rate per kWh.
-
Regional rate per kWh
This rate depends on the employee's place of residence and is set quarterly. For the first quarter of 2025, the maximum fixed amount per kWh is (*) :- Flemish Region: 28,22 eurocent/kWh
- Brussels-Capital Region: 32,94 eurocent/kWh
- Walloon Region: 32,56 eurocent/kWh
- National rate per kWh
Your employer may also choose not to take your place of residence into account. In that case, the maximum fixed amount per kWh is equal to the lowest rate applicable in one of the regions. Consequently, for the first quarter of 2025, this is 28.22 eurocents/kWh.
Are you resident abroad? Then you will be reimbursed at the national rate per kWh.
You will receive a monthly overview by email of these registered charging sessions and their cost price according to the kWh rate chosen by your employer. This will let you know the amount that will be reimbursed.
MobilityPlus will pay your reimbursement into your personal account on a monthly basis. During the audit, you have provided us with your bank details. For reasons of privacy, your employer will not play any part in these transactions. This means you must submit your payment details to MobilityPlus directly.
In the MobilityPlus app, you can easily monitor your expense notes and their reimbursement. Read more here.
Reimbursement planning
You will receive the overview of your expense report on the 7th day of a new month. If that day coincides with the weekend or a public holiday, it will be the next working day.
If your charging station was temporarily offline / out of order, we do not immediately receive the charging sessions that took place at that time. So those charging sessions may not appear on the overview of that particular month.
Don't worry, these sessions are always stored in the charging station itself. As soon as the charging station is back online/repaired, those charging sessions flow through to MobilityPlus and are included in the following month's document.
Your employer also receives an invoice on the 7th day. We reimburse you the expense account as soon as we have processed your employer's payment. Every 2 days we make this check/reimbursement.
So it is not exceptional for your expense account to be paid later in the month. We monitor this very closely, so don't worry.
Situation 2: Your employer is responsible for reimbursing the charging sessions
If your employer is responsible for reimbursing the charging sessions, he will receive on the 7th of a new month an overview from us of the charging sessions of the past month. He can rely on this for the reimbursement. If that day coincides with the weekend or a public holiday, it will be the next working day.
In this case, too, your employer makes the choice between the regional kWh rate or the national kWh rate (see above).
(*) To set this rate, the government bases itself on the CREG rate of the average commercial electricity price all-in on the retail market for residential customers with a household with digital meter, an electric vehicle, consumption of 8,000 kWh/year and average monthly peak of 7.36 kW.
- For quarter 1 2025, the fixed amounts per kWh of August, September and October of 2024 form the basis for the calculation.
- For quarter 2 2025, the fixed amounts per kWh of November and December of 2024 and January 2025 form the basis.
- For quarter 3 2025, the fixed amounts per kWh of February, March and April 2025 form the basis.
- For quarter 4 2025, the fixed amounts per kWh of May, June and July 2025 form the basis.
