Home charging reimbursement, with no charge point and no expense claim

To reimburse home charging of an electric company vehicle, you need the kWh charged and their price. The Dadycar Home charging module measures them from the vehicle, with no charge point, values them at the employee's electricity contract and prepares the payroll export, without ever keeping the home location.

What home charging costs the fleet manager

The kWh stay invisible. Without a connected charge point, neither the volume, nor the time, nor the vehicle charged comes back.
Reimbursement is done by hand. Expense claims, allowances, meter readings: every month, the same re-keying.
The justification stays weak. An amount tied to neither a vehicle nor kWh is hard to defend, while an expense reimbursed at actual cost is reimbursed on receipts (URSSAF).

What the Home charging module does

Each session shows its measurement source and its level of proof. Energy is measured on the vehicle side, then corrected for charging losses.

Sessions detected without a charge point

Charging comes back from the Dadycar device or the connected vehicle, on a domestic socket, a cable or a wallbox.

Valued at the real price

The employee's contract (base, off-peak, Tempo), the regulated tariff of their option, or a price set by the company.

Charging losses included

A coefficient per charging mode, shown next to the measured kWh.

Approval on one screen

The month's sessions per driver, anomalies flagged, bulk or line-by-line approval.

Monthly statement and payroll export

For each session: vehicle, date, kWh, tariff, amount and source. One export per period, one line per employee ID.

Privacy respected

For a charge at home, only “home: yes or no” is kept, never the position.

How it works

1Charging sessions come in on their own. The Dadycar device or the connected vehicle reports each session, tagged “home: yes or no”.
2Each session is valued. At the employee's electricity contract or at a price set by the company, charging losses included.
3You approve, payroll imports. Approval at month end, statement per driver and payroll export, one line per employee ID.

Who it is for

Fleet managers: a monthly close with no re-keying (see the role page).
Payroll and HR: one record per session and a file ready to import (see the role page).
Finance departments: energy charged at home in the full cost of each vehicle (see the role page).

Demo

See the module on your fleet

The module is for fleets with electric company or service vehicles parked at employees’ homes. It works with Dadycar telematics: device or connected vehicle.

In the same app: the state of charge and charging history of each electric vehicle, charging locations and the benefit-in-kind report.

What we are asked most often

“Our employees have no charge point.” It is not needed: the measurement comes from the vehicle, including on a domestic socket.
“Our works council will refuse geolocation.” No position is kept at home, and the driver’s private mode stays active.
“Our vehicles are not equipped.” A recent connected vehicle sends its data without a device, depending on its make; otherwise, an OBD device is enough.

Frequently asked questions

How do I reimburse an employee's home charging?

Reimbursing at actual cost means knowing the kWh charged by the vehicle and their price. The company picks a method — the employee's contract, the regulated tariff of their option or a company price —, documents it and dates it. Like any business expense reimbursed at actual cost, the amount must be backed by receipts (URSSAF).

Is charging paid by the employer a benefit in kind?

Not for a fully electric vehicle: electricity costs paid by the employer are left out of the benefit-in-kind calculation (URSSAF). They count for a plug-in hybrid or a personal vehicle, and the whole expense counts when the electricity share cannot be separated from a flat fee (BOSS).

Do I need to install a charge point at the employee's home?

No. The module relies on vehicle data, sent by the Dadycar device or by the manufacturer: a domestic socket is enough. A charge point paid for by the employer and kept by the employee when leaving is excluded from the benefit in kind at 50 %, up to €1,057.10 in 2026 (URSSAF).

Is geolocation at home allowed?

The French data protection authority rules out collecting location outside working time, commuting included, and the employee must be able to switch it off (CNIL). For a charge at home, the module therefore keeps no position: only “home: yes or no”.

Are the kWh measured by the vehicle reliable?

The vehicle measures energy on the battery side. Part of it is lost while charging, more on a domestic socket than on a wallbox. The module applies a loss coefficient per charging mode and shows the level of proof of each session.

What about a personal vehicle?

The employer pays mileage allowances, on the tax scale. That scale has its own grid for fully electric vehicles, 20 % above the one for combustion vehicles (URSSAF). The Home charging module is for company and service vehicles.
