Mbrella Charge offers cost control and anomaly detection features to help you manage your EV charging expenses effectively and prevent fraud.
Here's how Mbrella Charge helps with these aspects:
Cost Control Features
Split Billing
This feature determines who pays for specific charging sessions, allowing companies to set limits on employer-covered charging.
Budget Control
You can set maximum monthly charging amounts reimbursed by the employer (e.g., €150 per month). This can lead to significant savings.
Location Control
Restricts charging reimbursement to specific countries.
Specific charger blocking
Allows you to specify which charge providers are eligible for employer reimbursement . You can limit the charging to lower-cost charging stations.
Speed/kWh Control
Limits employer reimbursement to charging sessions up to a specific charging speed or kWh limit.
Idle Fee Control
Companies can make employees responsible for idle/parking fees.
Anomaly Detection
Mbrella Charge uses several methods to detect potential fraud or misuse:
Overlapping Sessions
Flags when multiple charging sessions are started simultaneously with the same pass.
Geographical Anomalies
Detects sessions that are too far apart geographically in a short time.
Unusual Consumption
Identifies consumption higher than expected over a given timeframe.
Frequent Sessions Without State-of-Charge Change
Flags when sessions are started too frequently without the car's state-of-charge changing.
High Session Prices
Alerts for very high session prices (e.g., over €1/kWh).
Automated Invoice Checks
Mbrella Charge runs 18 automated validation checks on each charging session, ensuring 99.8% invoice accuracy compared to the market standard of 86%. This helps prevent erroneous charges and saves companies money.
Analytics and Reporting
Mbrella Charge provides detailed analytics on charging behaviour, costs, and patterns, allowing companies to make data-driven decisions to optimize their EV fleet management.
By implementing these cost control and anomaly detection features, Mbrella Charge helps companies significantly reduce their EV charging expenses, prevent fraud, and gain better control over their electrification costs. .
