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 Humax​

This removes guesswork and automates reimbursement.​

How it works

  • Driver charges their vehicle using an Humax 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 ​

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.​​

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 personal 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
This removes guesswork and avoids over or under payment.​
