Charging & refunds at home
With chargeHome, we provide companies with a simple entry into electric mobility and offer a fair, efficient solution for charging electric vehicles at home. Our system ensures full cost transparency and combines the needs of drivers with company policies.
Home charging challenges
The integration of home chargings into existing company guidelines and the fair reimbursement of employees presents companies with significant challenges. Standard solutions can only be used to a limited extent.
Mit chargeHome enablen wir Flottenmanager:innen, die Ladekosten im Rahmen der Elektromobilität gezielt zu optimieren – transparent, regelkonform und effizient.
Three core challenges can be identified:
Cost and comfort optimization
Your field service fleet is rarely in the office. With a home charging infrastructure, you enable your employees to charge time and cost-effectively. This ensures acceptance and a comfortable experience with e-vehicles.
Equal treatment of all employees
Different living situations (electricity tariffs, charging station rentals, billing costs) make it challenging to determine the refund and the corresponding car policy.
Difficult access to charging data
Existing standard charging station solutions only work for 25% of drivers - especially in rental contracts or in apartment buildings, monitoring and reimbursing charged electricity is complex and time-consuming.
Reimbursement for home charges: simple, fair and independent of the charging station
With our chargeHome solution, we achieve complete equal treatment for all electric-driving employees. Regardless of whether it's your own or rented charging station, intelligent charging solutions or a household power adapter, we record the electricity charged at home using the car app and can thus reimburse all employees for home charges. In addition, we also take over the reimbursement for you — no new processes and additional accounting expenses for you.

Valuable insights into charging behavior
Transparency in charging behavior with insights
Our app offers you transparent insights into your drivers' charging behavior – from charging times to locations to the charging power used. Drivers see their individual charging behavior directly in the app. As a fleet manager, you get a central overview of all charging processes in the portal – for more transparency, better traceability, and targeted optimization of electric mobility in the company.

The coverage of publicly accessible charging stations is 98% in Switzerland (15,000 charging points), and over 600,000 in Europe.
Basically, you don't need a charging card if you already have the chargeOn app. However, we offer authentication via RFID charging card (e.g. if you often charge at charging stations that are in a parking garage with poor reception). If required, you are welcome to order them once free of charge via the app. As soon as you have received the card, you can save and load it in the chargeOn app.
Roaming is not only available with mobile phone providers, but also when charging. Our roaming prices refer to charging stations provided by other operators outside our partner network.
The chargeON app is free: this means you don't need a subscription. Instead, you can download the app for free, store your credit card and purchase energy at the market prices quoted – or at preferential rates from our partners (including Migros, Fastned, Electra and AMAG). For example, you can charge your vehicle at Migrol for as little as CHF 0.39/kWh for slow chargers or CHF 0.49/kWh for fast chargers.
What are the charging costs? The cost of the charges consists of three components, some of which are specified by the charging station operators. Depending on the station, these components can be combined in different ways. Starting fee: We charge a one-time fee to start a charging process. Consumption-based billing: The operator charges a price for the purchase of one kilowatt hour (kWh). Time-based billing: The operator makes time-based billing (per minute). There are no further costs until the connection to the charging station is disconnected.
Depending on the charging station provider, fair use fees may apply. We have no influence over the prices of external charging stations. You can find information on whether and from when fair use fees apply at a charging station in the app at the respective charging point under ‘Additional costs’. Fair use costs are also communicated via app push notifications.
