Bluedot, the leading single-payment platform for EV fleet drivers, is introducing a robust solution to an increasing challenge for EV fleets: seamless reimbursement for at-home electric vehicle charging. The announcement came at the 2024 NAFA Fleet Expo in San Antonio, TX.

As fleets become increasingly more electric, the need to track and reimburse at-home charging has never been more critical. In California, for example, employers are required to reimburse employees for the cost of company-related travel. For employees who travel using an EV, this includes the cost to charge. Even in states with less explicit labor laws, at-home EV charging could qualify as a reimbursable business expense for federal tax purposes. Fleet managers who fail to set up a clear and precise EV charging reimbursement program are at an increased risk for a class-action lawsuit down the line. 

Precisely calculating electricity costs associated with at-home EV charging can be difficult and labor intensive, but in a win-win for EV fleet drivers and managers alike, Bluedot’s innovative new feature tackles this challenge head on: Drivers are empowered to charge vehicles at home without worrying about the cost, while fleet managers can seamlessly track their drivers’ at-home charging sessions—and reimburse each driver directly.
