When we launch with a new employer, the same questions come up. Here are the answers, in plain English.
1. What is it, in one sentence?
Your EV charging costs come out of your gross salary, before tax and National Insurance, so you save 20-50% on every charge.
2. Do I have to change my car?
No. It bolts on to any company car or salary sacrifice scheme, and you keep your existing lease and provider.
3. What if I do not have a driveway?
You are still included. The scheme covers public charging across a network of more than 76,000 UK charge points, which is the group that usually benefits most.
4. How much will I actually save?
Most drivers save somewhere between £300 and £1,000 a year, depending on mileage, tax band and how much they charge in public. The calculator gives you your own figure.
5. What appears on my payslip?
A single deduction line for your charging, taken from gross pay. You will see the amount before it is deducted.
6. Do I need to keep receipts?
No. Home, workplace and public charging are captured for you and summarised each month.
7. Does it work at motorway rapid chargers?
Yes. Public charging is covered through the app and charge card.
8. What if I charge more one month than another?
The deduction reflects what you actually used that month. There is no fixed commitment.
9. Can I leave the scheme?
Yes. Your employer will confirm the notice period, but it is designed to be easy to join and easy to leave.
10. How long does it take to set up?
Minutes. You create an account, add your car, and start charging.
