🧑‍🏫 Split billing refers to the ability to divide the cost of a charging session between the employer and the employee based on predefined rules and limits.

How does it work?

  1. The system checks each Charge Detail Record (CDR) to determine who should pay for the session. In other word it is applied after a charging session is completed.

  2. Based on the rules you set, D'Ieteren Energy by Mbrella will automatically allocate costs accordingly.

  3. Employees must have a private payment method registered in the D'Ieteren Energy by Mbrella app for split billing to work effectively.

  4. The employer typically covers costs within set limits, while the employee pays for any excess.

You can view employer-paid sessions in the Mbrella platform but private charging sessions (paid entirely by the employee) are not visible for privacy reasons.

Benefits of split billing

  1. Cost control: Prevent unexpected or excessive charging expenses for the company.

  2. Fairness: Employees pay for personal use or excessive charging beyond set limits.

  3. Flexibility: Adapt billing rules to your company's policies and budget.

  4. Transparency: Clear delineation between business and personal charging costs.

Cost control features that can be used with split billing

  1. Budget control: Set a maximum monthly charging amount (e.g., €150) that the employer will cover.

  2. Location control: Limit employer-paid charging to specific countries (e.g., Belgium only).

  3. Charger control: Restrict employer-paid charging to specific providers or exclude expensive options (Public charger / fast charger / ...)
