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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
*General information, not tax advice. Confirm how this applies to your specific arrangement with Revenue or your accountant.
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.
Staff reserve their slot before they leave home. The bay is held, not claimed.
If your car park serves staff cars and fleet vans, chargers stay matched to the vehicles they're rated for.
No sign-in sheet to reconcile: see exactly who charged, when, and for how much.
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.
Visitors and clients pay the standard rate on the same chargers, with no separate hardware or account, just a different access code.
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.
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.
