From 1 July 2023, electric company cars will be more fiscally advantageous. This is because the tax deductibility of conventional company cars is gradually falling and the CO2 solidarity contribution is also rising. More information can be read on our blog.

Therefore, whether or not to install charging stations at the workplace becomes an important issue. Indeed, a company with more than 20 parking spaces is required to provide at least two charging stations by 2025. Although it is also recommended for other companies, if possible, to install charging stations in the car park. Below we outline some aspects that are best taken into account.

How many charging stations do I need?

A fully electric car can generally charge at a rate of 11 kWh per hour. This means that a car is full after 2.5 to 3 hours on average. On one charging point, you can in most cases have just fine two charging sessions per working day if users are willing to move their car around.

So if you do not provide charging points at home, it is recommended to provide one charging station for every two electric company cars.

If you also provide charging stations at home, you do not need a large number of charging stations at the workplace. An employee who mainly commutes will be able to charge sufficiently at home. On average, one full charge is needed per week. One charging station for every 4 electric company cars should then be sufficient. If you have many employees who need to be on the road, it is best to provide a few extra charging stations.
