Saved on administration alone.
How GEV's Home Charge solution is saving Vhi time, money and hassle
Vhi electrified its commercial fleet expecting fuel savings. What they didn't expect was how much money — and admin time — they'd save just by removing expense claims.
A nationwide fleet, charged at home
Vhi transitioned a 47-vehicle commercial sales fleet from fossil fuel to electric. With a nationwide team, vehicles are charged at employees' homes rather than a central depot — which immediately raises a question most companies don't think about until it's too late: how do you pay for that electricity, fairly and efficiently, at scale?
Without a proper system, every driver becomes their own mini finance department — tracking charging sessions, separating business from personal use, submitting claims, and waiting to be reimbursed. Multiply that by dozens of drivers, and the hidden cost becomes very real.
- Installing EV chargers safely across dozens of employees' homes
- Separating business charging from personal charging for expenses
- Processing individual expense claims and reimbursements for every driver, every month
- Keeping accurate, auditable data on energy use, cost and CO₂ across a dispersed fleet
- Uses drivers exact tariff with electricity provider to calculate cost of charging company EV
One monthly invoice. Zero expense claims.
GEV's Home Charge solution replaced Vhi's entire expense-claim process for EV charging with a single, consolidated monthly bill.
Home charger installed
GEV safely installs and manages EV charge points at each driver's home, on a flexible schedule.
GEV pays the charging costs
Drivers charge at home as normal. GEV covers the cost centrally — no driver ever submits a charging expense again.
One invoice, monthly
GEV invoices Vhi once a month for all charging activity — fully itemised, fully reconciled, zero manual processing.
Vhi also used SEAI's home charger grant supports to help reduce the upfront cost of installation — GEV manages this process as part of the rollout.
Two savings. One transition.
One saving is what most companies plan for. The other is what GEV makes sure you also get.
Administration cost saving from GEV's Home Charge consolidated billing — removing individual expense claims entirely.
118,405 kg of CO₂ saved over 12 months by switching the 47-vehicle fleet to electric.
Most companies plan for the saving on the right. GEV makes sure you also get the saving on the left.
Vhi is saving €239 per driver, per month — on admin alone.
