What does De Energy Hub do for an employer?

De Energy Hub is a booking app for EV charging and parking. An employer lists its staff car park, its chargers or both, sets the days, hours and rates, and staff book through the app before they leave home. Promo codes from De Energy Hub, complimentary or discounted, work as a staff perk, and every booking shows who made it. It works with the EV chargers you already own.

Who it is for
Employers with a staff car park or workplace chargers, from one office to several sites
What you list
A Parking Hub for the car park, a Charging Hub for the chargers, or both linked as Park & Charge
Your team
A member of staff sets up the hubs and answers driver queries in the app.
Your earnings
You keep 100% of the rate you set on full-price bookings. A 15% service fee and VAT are added on top and shown before the driver pays.
Set-up
Works with your existing EV chargers, no listing fee, typically under an hour. See the hub setup guide
A scene every workplace knows

Monday, 08:15. One charger, several cars, and nobody sure whose turn it is.

An illustration of the same car park, first with no booking and then with advance booking.

Without booking
08:15The first car arrives and plugs in
08:40A second driver waits with the engine running
09:10A third car circles the car park
Nobody can say whose turn it is, and the charger sits where the first car left it.
With advance booking (example)
08:00 to 10:00Booked
10:00 to 12:00Booked
13:00 to 15:00Booked
Example slots on a 2 hour minimum booking. A cancelled booking frees the bay straight away. Drivers need the app and an account to book.
What an employer needs

Six things employers ask for, and what the app does about each

Each one links to the full detail, with real app screens.

The need

A fair way for staff to charge at peak times

Staff book a bay and a charger in advance, by searching the app or scanning the QR code at the bay, and check in through the booking when they arrive. Drivers are reminded before a booking ends, at the end time and shortly after, which helps bays turn over.

The need

Charging as a staff perk, without reimbursing anyone

Request promo codes from De Energy Hub and share them with your team. A complimentary code skips the payment screen, so staff are not out of pocket, and you cover the electricity. A discounted code takes a percentage off the overall price.

How promo codes work →
The need

Making clear who a charger is for

Name the hub or charger for your company, for example Acme Employees Only. Drivers see the name on the search overview and again on the booking screen before they confirm.

How hubs and their rules work →
The need

Knowing who booked what

Past and upcoming bookings in the app show who made each one, and you are notified when someone checks in or out. Reports are available from De Energy Hub on request.

What a host sees in the app →
The need

Several offices, one account

One host account can run every site, with one Charging Hub and one Parking Hub per Eircode. Your home screen shows upcoming bookings, open queries, hub counts and earnings by day, week and month.

The need

Going live with the chargers you already have

De Energy Hub works with the EV chargers you already own. Create a host account, add your hubs, print a QR code for each bay and charger and place them on site. There is no application and no waiting period.

How QR codes work →
What you list

The car park, the chargers, or both

Most workplaces have more bays than chargers, so list the spaces, the chargers, or both.

🅿️ Parking HubYour staff car park. One QR code per space, with the availability and minimum booking length you set.
⚡ Charging HubYour chargers, each listed with its speed and connector type, and your rate per kWh.
🔗 Park & ChargeLink the two so one booking and one payment covers the bay and the charger. The rules and instructions you write on the Parking Hub then show on the charger's overview too.

How each hub works, including Park & Charge →

Staff promo codes

A staff perk you hand out, free or discounted.

Request promo codes from De Energy Hub and share them with your team. Codes are set up in advance to your requirements, and the employee types the code in when they book.

  • Complimentary (no payment screen) or discounted (a percentage off the overall price)
  • Limited by number of uses, including per person and per month, and by expiry date, and set to cover parking, charging or both
  • Entered in the Have a promotional code? field on the booking review screen
  • Every booking shows who made it, even when the fee is waived
Everyone else pays your rate. Any other driver who books pays the rate you set on the same chargers. On a complimentary code you cover the electricity, so it works as a perk for your team.

Tax is a question for Revenue

Whether workplace EV charging is a taxable benefit depends on your own arrangement, and the rules can change. Check the current position with Revenue or your accountant. De Energy Hub does not give tax advice.

Employers & Workplace Charging FAQ

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

+
Either. List a Charging Hub for your chargers, a Parking Hub for your staff car park, or both. Link them and one booking and one payment covers the bay and the charger. Adopting both isn't required to use either one.

How do we stop the morning charger scramble?

+
Staff book a bay and charger in advance, by searching the app or scanning the QR code at the bay, and check in through the booking when they arrive. You set the minimum booking length when you set up the hub: 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or 3 hours or longer. Drivers are reminded before a booking ends, at the end time and shortly after. Reminders prompt drivers who cannot attend to cancel, and your own policy can tell staff to consider cancelling a booking they cannot use. A cancelled booking frees the bay straight away.

Can staff charge for free while everyone else pays?

+
Yes. Request promo codes from De Energy Hub, complimentary or discounted, and share them with your team. The employee types the code into the Have a promotional code field when they book. A complimentary code skips the payment screen and you cover the electricity, while a discounted code takes a percentage off the overall price. Any other driver who books pays the rate you set. Every booking shows who made it.

How do we tell people who a charger is for?

+
Name the hub or charger for your company, for example Acme Employees Only. Drivers see the name on the search overview and again on the booking screen before they confirm. Link a Parking Hub to the Charging Hub and the rules and instructions you write there also show on the charger's overview, so you can set out your policy where drivers read it. Every hub stays visible to any driver in the app.

Can one employer run chargers and car parks across several sites?

+
Yes. One host account can run every site, with one Charging Hub and one Parking Hub per Eircode. Your home screen shows upcoming bookings, open queries, earnings by day, week and month, and how many Charging Hubs and Parking Hubs you have. Past and upcoming bookings show who made each one, and you are notified when someone checks in or out.

Does this work with the chargers we already own, and how do we start?

+
Yes. De Energy Hub works with the EV chargers you already own, however they were funded or installed. Download the app and create a host account, then add a Parking Hub, a Charging Hub or both for each site. Describe each charger with its name, maximum speed, connector type and brand, and print the QR code for each charger or space. There is no application or waiting period, and set-up typically takes under an hour. Payouts are made daily, at the end of the day, when there is something to pay out. See the hub setup guide on the app page.

Is workplace EV charging a taxable benefit?

+
That is a question for Revenue, and the rules can change, so check the current position with Revenue or your accountant. De Energy Hub does not give tax advice. Our guide to workplace EV charging and the BIK exemption explains the general rules.
