💼 Built for Irish employers & workplace car parks

An EV charging management system,
a parking management system:
run like a policy, not a scramble.

De Energy Hub gives Irish employers an EV charging management system, a parking management system, or both linked as one: charging that can qualify for the Revenue BIK exemption, booked in advance to end the morning queue, and logged automatically per employee for reporting.

Home App Employers & Workplace Charging
Two systems, one dashboard

Run staff parking, EV charging, or both from one dashboard

Employers usually treat car park access and EV charging as two unrelated problems, managed with two different tools. De Energy Hub can run each independently as its own system, or connect them so a reserved bay comes with charger access built in.

🅿️

Parking Hub

A bookable staff car park made up of any collection of bays. Each bay gets its own QR code, with rules for who can book, when, and for how long, suited to a workplace car park where no charger is involved.

EV Charging Hub

Your existing workplace chargers added to the app, no new hardware required. Each charger gets its own QR code, with live session data, energy use and per-employee reporting on the dashboard.

🔗

Bay + charger, booked together

Connect a Parking Hub to a Charging Hub so a single reservation covers both: the employee scans once and checks in via the app, and the system handles the bay and the charger as one session. Useful wherever charging shouldn't be optional once a bay is booked.

✓ BIK exemption conditions

On business premises: the charging point is provided at the employer's place of business.
Open to all employees and directors: not restricted to a limited group or specific roles.
Applies to the charging facility itself: not limited to company-provided vehicles.

*General information, not tax advice. Confirm how this applies to your specific arrangement with Revenue or your accountant.

Why this matters now

Workplace charging is becoming a real recruitment factor

Revenue's exemption means an employer-provided charging point, open to all staff, doesn't automatically create a taxable benefit, a meaningful difference from providing fuel or a company car directly.

For employees who can't easily charge at home (apartment dwellers, on-street parkers, shared housing) workplace charging is increasingly what makes going electric practical at all. As EV ownership keeps growing in Ireland, that's turning workplace charging from a nice-to-have into something candidates ask about.

Advance booking

One charger, one car park, no more racing for it

Two access tiers, one charger

Staff and visitors, handled differently, automatically

Staff

Free, as a workplace benefit

Issue staff promo codes for free or discounted charging. Usage is still fully tracked per employee for BIK and reporting purposes, even when the fee is waived.

Visitor / Client

Billed per kWh

Visitors and clients pay the standard rate on the same chargers, with no separate hardware or account, just a different access code.

Staff discounts

Discount codes deducted automatically, at checkout

Issue staff a promo code for free or discounted charging: full price, half price, or free, whatever the workplace benefit is set to. The discount is calculated and deducted before the employee pays anything.

Applied before payment: the discount is shown and deducted on the booking review screen, not refunded afterwards.
Any discount level: codes can be set to 100% off, a fixed percentage, or a flat amount.
Full value still logged for reporting: the pre-discount charging cost is recorded per employee, so BIK and accounting records stay accurate even when staff pay nothing.

Every De Energy Hub charger, workplaces included, runs on Pure, Smart or Boost energy, and Smart Energy in particular helps offices cut electricity cost during business hours by prioritising renewables first.

Employers & Workplace Charging FAQ

Can we manage EV charging and parking separately, or does it have to be both?

+
Either. De Energy Hub runs as a standalone EV charging management system, a standalone parking management system for your staff car park, or both connected so a reserved bay comes with charger access automatically. Adopting both isn't required to use either one.

Is workplace EV charging a taxable benefit (BIK) for employees?

+
Revenue provides a BIK exemption for EV charging points an employer provides on business premises, as long as the facility is available for use by all employees and directors. Employers should confirm the specifics of their own arrangement with Revenue or their tax advisor, but De Energy Hub logs session and usage data to support that record-keeping.

Can employees charge their own personal EV at work, not just a company car?

+
The workplace charging BIK exemption applies to the provision of the charging facility itself, provided it's open to all employees. It isn't limited to company-provided vehicles. As with any tax question, it's worth confirming your specific arrangement with Revenue or your accountant.

Does the exemption still apply if only some employees can access the charger?

+
The exemption is conditional on the facility being available for use by all employees and directors, not a limited group. If access is restricted to certain staff, it's worth checking with Revenue or your accountant whether the exemption still applies to your setup.

How do we stop the morning charger scramble?

+
Staff book a charging bay in advance, before they even leave home. The bay and charger are held for them, so there's no first-come-first-served queue and no one unplugging a colleague's car to free up a space.

Can we track charging usage per employee for reporting?

+
Yes. Every session is logged with date, time, duration, kWh delivered and cost, per employee. Hosts can view this session history in past and upcoming bookings, useful for payroll, BIK records, or sustainability reporting.

Can staff charge for free while visitors or clients pay?

+
Yes. Issue staff promo codes for free or discounted access as a workplace benefit, while visitors and clients are billed per kWh at the standard rate. Both are tracked separately on the same chargers.

Is a staff discount deducted automatically, or does the employee pay and get reimbursed?

+
Deducted automatically. The promo code discount is calculated and shown on the booking review screen before payment, so staff are never out of pocket waiting on reimbursement, and the full pre-discount value is still logged for reporting.

Can we restrict which vehicle types use which chargers?

+
Yes. Each charger can be configured to accept specific vehicle categories: car, van, or minibus. This stops a standard 7kW charger meant for staff cars being blocked by a fleet van, and vice versa.
