Electric Car Charging for companies
With the increase in the number of electric cars, company electric car charging is becoming increasingly prominent, which has many advantages. On the one hand, it is more cost-effective than charging at street charging stations, and also more time-saving. On the other hand, since this opportunity appears as an expectation for more and more employees, company electric car charging can be a competitive advantage over other companies.
We generally distinguish between two types of company electric car charging, the AC (alternating current charger) is slower, while the DC (direct current) charger provides faster charging.
In order to choose the right charger, many aspects must be considered, such as the power available in the property or the profile of the company.
To take advantage of the benefits, it is vital to choose a car charger that meets the company's needs. That is why it is important to have the necessary information before setting up the company's electric car charging station.

What is corporate electric car charging?
Company electric car charging means charging company cars in the parking lot of the company's office or premises.
The charging process itself is the same as charging an electric car at home (in a family house, condominium). However, in the case of company car charging, the company owns the chargers and the employees only have the right to use them, in contrast to home charging, when the resident owns the charger. Accordingly, in the case of company charging, it is necessary to identify individual users, since one charger can be used by many employees.
What are the advantages of company electric car charging?
Advantages of company electric car charging.
-
Cost savings
-

Cost savings: Corporate charging of electric cars results in lower costs than if employees charge at public street charging stations.
Improving efficiency and achieving a competitive advantage: Company electric car charging enables the continuous charging of employees or fleet vehicles, which ensures the continuity and efficiency of business activities.
Achieving a competitive advantage: By providing charging for the company's electric car, you can prepare to meet future needs and position your company as an innovative, socially responsible business. Providing company electric car charging sets companies apart from their competitors.
Employee satisfaction: Company electric car charging is increasingly becoming an expectation in the eyes of employees, according to a recent survey, two-thirds of company car owners prefer company charging.
What types of company electric car chargers are there?
We can separate the company's electric car chargers based on the type of current.
-
AC (alternating current) chargers
-
DC (direct current) chargers
AC chargers are alternating current chargers, which usually provide a lower power, i.e. they are capable of charging 7.4 - 22 kW per hour. That is why they are often called slow chargers, because they charge electric cars in significantly more time than DC chargers. However, this is not a technical term, just common usage in everyday life. AC chargers can be wall or column chargers, depending on whether there is a surface where I want to install the charger.
DC chargers are direct current chargers, which usually provide higher power, i.e. they are capable of charging 22-50 kW per hour. That is why they are often called fast chargers, because they charge the battery of an electric car in as little as half an hour. However, this is not a technical term, just common usage in everyday life. DC chargers cannot be mounted on a wall, as they are quite large.
How do I choose the right electric car charger?
To choose the right electric car charger, it is worth considering a few aspects.
-
Power available on site
-
Number of cars you want to charge
-
Company profile
-
Required functions
-
Range of users
Power available on site
Before installing the chargers, it is necessary to check how much free capacity there is that could be used for charging. This can determine what and how many electric car chargers can be installed. Installable electric car chargers are covered in the next section.
Number of cars you want to charge
It is worth considering how many people will need an electric car to charge, that is, how many electric cars are currently in the fleet and when expansion is planned. Although many people imagine that it is necessary to install a charger in every parking space, this is not true in all cases. In general, a company charger can usually be used comfortably by 3 people.
Company profile
If most of the company's employees work in an office and use the electric car for daily commuting or short trips, there is more time available to charge the electric cars, so a lower power AC charger may also be suitable. If there are many employees who have to travel long distances every day, for example transporters or regional representatives, then it is necessary to charge your car in a limited time, for which it is worth choosing a higher-performance DC charger.
Required functions
With company charging it is necessary to consider what functions are necessary for efficient operation. In the case of a larger company or a high proportion of electric cars, it may be necessary to create different user groups, different pricing or packages. Otherwise, if only 1-2 electric cars need charging, a simpler charger may be suitable without software solutions. If the company has a solar panel, it may also be necessary to integrate it, which not all chargers are suitable for.
Range of users
Companies have the option to make chargers available only to employees. However, if you want to provide charging to customers who come to the company, or if you want to earn extra income, you can also operate the charging station as a public charging station.
How much does it cost to charge a company electric car?
On the one hand, charging a company electric car has a one-time cost , which includes the construction of the charging infrastructure, the installation and commissioning of the chargers. This cost depends on the state of the company's electrical network, the number and type of chargers, the length of the wiring, the number of RFID cards, and the need for an Internet connection.
In addition, there are monthly recurring costs for charging the company's electric car, which are related to operation and maintenance. It depends on the number and type of chargers, the operator, and the frequency of breakdowns.

What are the monthly operating costs of charging an electric car?
Charging an electric car has several monthly costs
-
Electricity cost of the energy consumed
-
Occasional maintenance and repair costs
-
Monthly fee for operation (if an external company does it)
-
Monthly fee for public chargers
How much does it cost to maintain the company's electric car charging system annually?
The maintenance of the company's electric car charging system costs a minimum of HUF 30,000 per charger per year. This includes technical assistance, occasional repairs and regular maintenance.
The cost of maintaining the company's electric car charging system depends on:
-
the number of chargers
-
contractual conditions
-
the maintenance partner
How is the company electric car charging accounted for?
RFID is one of the easiest tools to use to account for the charging of the company's electric car.
The RFID card allows the car owner to be identified and authenticated at the charging station. RFID cards can be used to easily track charging operations and bill users for the charging service.
Every employee who uses the company's electric car chargers receives an RFID card, which can be used to identify who, when and how much was charged. The company gets access to an online interface that shows the consumption data for each card during a given period.
