⚙️ How does home charging reimbursement work?
You charge your electric company car at your private wallbox and record your home charging costs directly in the MOBIKO app — based on your individual electricity tariff. Reimbursement is paid the following month.
Standard process – step by step
| Month | Action |
|---|---|
| August | You charge your company car and upload your electricity contract to MOBIKO. |
| September | You submit a consolidated receipt with all charging sessions from August. |
| October | After review, reimbursement is included with your October salary. |
📲 How are my documents submitted?
All receipts are digitally collected, bundled, and sent monthly as a reimbursement file to your employer.
💸 How do I receive the reimbursement?
Your home charging costs are reimbursed conveniently and directly via your payroll.
🔌 How is my electricity tariff taken into account?
Question: How is my individual electricity tariff considered in the reimbursement?
Answer: You can easily store your personal electricity tariff in the MOBIKO app. This tariff is automatically used to calculate your home charging costs.
This ensures fair and precise reimbursement based on your actual electricity expenses — regardless of your provider or tariff. MOBIKO ensures a simple, transparent, and flexible process without extra effort.
⚡ Which wallboxes are compatible with MOBIKO?
Question: Can I use my own wallbox for reimbursement? Are there specific requirements?
Answer: Yes, you can use your existing wallbox as long as it complies with legal requirements — especially regarding calibrated metering according to regulations. This guarantees accurate and transparent billing.
We also cooperate with partners offering certified wallboxes tailored for company car reimbursement. However, you’re not restricted to specific models, giving you maximum flexibility.

💼 Are there tax advantages for companies regarding home charging?
Question: What tax benefits does my company have when reimbursing home charging costs via MOBIKO?
Answer: Yes, there are tax advantages — both with individual reimbursement via MOBIKO and with flat rates:
Individual reimbursement with MOBIKO
-
Employees enter their personal electricity tariff in the app.
-
Companies can reimburse actual home charging costs — even if they exceed legal flat rates.
-
Reimbursements are tax- and social security-free under § 3 Nr. 50 EStG, as long as evidence of need is provided.
-
This means fair, realistic reimbursement with no extra tax burden.
Tax-free flat rates (traditional method)
| Situation | Electric Vehicle | Hybrid Vehicle |
|---|---|---|
| No charging option at employer | €70/month | €35/month |
| Charging option available at employer | €30/month | €15/month |
These amounts are tax- and social security-free and don’t have to be reported on the income tax certificate, easing payroll processes.
✅ Summary
With MOBIKO, companies benefit from a flexible and legally compliant solution that can be designed either as a flat rate or needs-based reimbursement — both tax-advantaged.
