The Problem with EV Home Charging Reimbursement
Charging a company electric vehicle at home is often the cheapest and most convenient option.
But there is a problem. The driver pays for the electricity first. And reimbursement is often based on estimates, not reality.
Electricity prices vary by tariff, time of day and usage. Without accurate data:
- drivers can be under reimbursed
- fleets lack clear cost visibility
- processes rely on manual expense claims
This creates friction for drivers and complexity for fleet teams.
How Paua Reimburse Works with Indra
Paua Reimburse connects directly to your Indra charger to capture real charging data and calculate the actual cost of EV home charging.
This removes guesswork and automates reimbursement.
How it works
- Driver charges their vehicle using an Indra home charger
- The charger records each charging session
- Charging data is shared with Paua Reimburse
- Paua calculates the electricity cost using the driver’s tariff
- The driver is reimbursed for business charging
Outcome
- No manual claims
- No estimates
- Accurate, data-driven reimbursement
Why Indra is a strong choice for reimbursement
As fleets electrify, home charging is often the biggest operational challenge to solve. From coordinating installations and supporting drivers to collecting charging data and managing reimbursements, home charging can quickly become an administrative burden.
Indra removes that complexity with a fully managed home charging solution designed to make fleet electrification as hands-off as possible for fleet managers.
End-to-end service delivery
With a single point of contact throughout, Indra manages the complete home charging journey—from driver onboarding and charger installation to ongoing support and account management—reducing the workload on fleet teams and making fleet electrification easier to scale.
Automated reporting and reimbursement
Charging data is automatically captured and shared with Paua, removing the need for manual driver submissions, reducing administration and helping streamline reimbursement processes.
Fleet visibility without the admin
Drivers benefit from a simple home charging experience, while fleet managers retain the visibility, approval processes and oversight needed to manage charging programmes effectively.
Built for UK fleets
British-designed and manufactured chargers, backed by UK-based support and expertise. Indra develops both its hardware and software in-house, ensuring a reliable, future-ready charging experience.
Lower charging costs automatically
Compatible with all major smart EV tariffs, enabling drivers to automatically charge when electricity is cheapest and helping reduce fleet charging costs.
Solar-ready from day one
Integrated solar charging functionality comes as standard, allowing drivers to make the most of self-generated renewable energy and further reduce charging costs.

Connected Chargers vs Manual Reimbursement
There are multiple ways to reimburse EV home charging, but they vary in accuracy and effort.
Connected chargers provide the most reliable solution because they capture actual electricity usage data.
Using a connected charger such as Indra helps create a more accurate and scalable EV reimbursement process.

Mileage split
Supporting Private and Business Mileage Split
Many company car drivers use the same vehicle for both business and private travel.
Paua Reimburse supports this by enabling fleets to reimburse only the electricity used for business driving, while excluding private use where required.
This helps organisations:
- apply clear reimbursement policies
- align with HMRC guidance
- maintain transparent records for finance teams
Drivers input business trip data and provide total odometer to complete their claim; this provides employers the data necessary to separate business and private mileage.
Only Reimburse Business Charging, Not Private Use
Company car drivers often use their vehicle for both work and private travel.
Paua Reimburse enables fleets to separate business and private charging, so only business energy is reimbursed.
This supports:
- fair reimbursement for drivers
- clear company policies
- alignment with HMRC guidance
- transparent audit records
