The e-mobility service provider "SMART/LAB" offers its partners a complete solution for billing the charging processes of electric company cars.
The application, called "Ladebusiness Dienstwagenabrechnung" (charging business company car billing), enables companies to bill the charging processes of their employees at both private and public charging points. Even the charging processes of company cars at the home wallboxes of employees can now be recorded, according to a statement from Smartlab. The only prerequisite for this is the connection of the charging point to the backend of Smartlab.
An automated credit note is generated for the company car user. In this way, he could be reimbursed for his electricity costs at home, explains Dirk Natschke. "What sounds complicated is actually quite simple with our solution," says the head of the charging business department, promoting the new product, which is available to Smartlab's partners as a white-label solution. One charging card, one billing - that's how the provider sums it up.
"The rates for charging at the employer's, in public and at the private charging point can be set flexibly, per application and even per charging card individually," the statement continues.
The Smartlab Innovationsgesellschaft operates "Ladenetz.de", to which 245 municipal utility partners are currently connected, according to the website. Through the municipal companies' own charging points and via roaming agreements, end customers currently have access to around 118,000 charging points across Europe. The largest shareholder in Smartlab is Thüga. The shareholder group also includes Duisburger Versorgungs- und Verkehrsgesellschaft, Erdgas Schwaben, Stadtwerke Düsseldorf, Stadtwerke Osnabrück and Aachen-based Stawag.
