The Rise of Home Charging in the EV Fleet Ecosystem
Home charging solutions for company car fleets are becoming a top priority. Nearly 60% of new car sales in Europe come from company fleets, highlighting the urgent need for scalable, efficient charging at home. With rising electricity costs and increasing demand for sustainable transport, businesses are turning to advanced EV infrastructure that reduces operational friction. ChargePoint, a leader in EV charging technology, has stepped up with an innovative solution designed specifically for these needs.
ChargePoint Flex Plus: A Smart, Portable Home Charging Solution
ChargePoint’s new Flex Plus charger addresses a major challenge in electric vehicle applications—how to efficiently charge company cars at home. Built on a new AC charging architecture, Flex Plus introduces real-time dynamic load management. This allows the charger to optimize electricity use without requiring expensive home electrical upgrades. It also integrates easily with solar panels and home energy systems. One standout feature is its detachable backplate system, allowing drivers to take the charger with them if they relocate. This portability transforms the charger into a flexible asset for fleet managers.
Seamless Reimbursement and Charging Control for Fleet Managers
The Driver Management Solution pairs perfectly with the Flex Plus charger to streamline operations. It tracks energy usage, automates home charging reimbursements, and consolidates billing—including VAT invoicing for international fleets. Managers gain full visibility into charging behavior and can assign rules across driver groups using a centralized dashboard. For drivers, the experience is even more user-friendly. Installation is fast and professional. Charging at home becomes effortless, and when needed, public charging is managed through an intuitive mobile app or directly from the vehicle’s dashboard.
Enabling the Future of EV Fleets Through Smart Charging
ChargePoint’s combined hardware and software offering supports the shift to electric mobility by reducing barriers to entry for both fleet managers and drivers. This home-centric approach simplifies charging logistics, cuts fueling costs, and enhances driver satisfaction. As Europe leans into EV adoption, solutions like Flex Plus and the Driver Management platform ensure that smart home charging becomes the norm—not the exception.
