Frequently asked questions
How to ensure that the person who booked a charging point can charge?
From the Sharvy app, your colleagues can plan their on-site days by declaring their presence and booking a parking space equipped with a charging point. Once on-site, they just need to park in the reserved space and start/stop the charging (remotely) from the app.
However, if a colleague parks in a space reserved by another colleague, they will not be able to unlock the charging point and recharge their vehicle. Therefore, colleagues who have not reserved a space with a charging point have no incentive to park in these spaces.
How does the payment for charging sessions work from the Sharvy app?
The payment for charging can be made either by the company or directly by the employee through the Sharvy app. If the latter option is preferred, a dedicated STRIPE account is created to collect payments and send invoices for the charging sessions.
The necessary information to provide includes the company’s legal details, the responsible person’s information, and the IBAN of the account that will receive the payments. Users without access to charging through their company only need to add their bank card directly to their STRIPE account. Once the charging session is complete, Sharvy generates a payment via STRIPE and sends an invoice. The collected amounts, minus fees, are transferred to the client’s IBAN account.
Keep in mind that your fleet managers also benefit from a daily list of completed charges, charge details (users, duration, energy supplied & kWh), and an Excel export of the data if needed. This way, they can easily supervise the use of the charging points and obtain various data to facilitate subsequent pricing.
How to determine the pricing for the electricity consumed?
If you wish to recharge the cost of electricity to your employees, it is essential to define your billing model. There are several models, each with its advantages and disadvantages.
Time-based billing: This model is beneficial for companies with a limited number of charging points relative to the number of employees. It encourages employees to free up the charging point quickly once their vehicle is charged. However, this model is the least equitable due to the different vehicle models of your employees. Vehicles with slower charging times (such as plug-in hybrids) are penalised.
kWh-based billing: This model seems the fairest for all employees and suits any type of company. The company charges an equivalent related to kWh (as it is legally prohibited to charge directly per kWh), which includes the use of the charging point, kWh, and parking. This model offers more transparency to the fleet manager, who can easily evaluate the financial added value of each charging point compared to energy costs. However, unlike time-based billing, this model does not incentivise employees to free up the space quickly.
Flat-rate billing: In this case, you define a fixed price for a recharge. You can set this price arbitrarily, for example, by offering a monthly subscription to your employees. However, this model is disconnected from actual consumption and does not account for days when your employees are absent.
