# Nobody files an expense claim.

> The EV Initiative Fleet Program bills company EV charging to the company at the moment it happens, so drivers never file an expense claim and are never charged for a fleet session. It covers the three places fleet charging breaks: at the depot, load management shares available current so nothing trips and the site avoids an electrical upgrade; on the road, a driver starts in fleet mode at any charger on the network and the company is billed; at home, the driver’s own charger is registered as a fleet charging location, with work charging billed to the fleet and personal charging staying personal, split metered at the plug rather than estimated from a stipend. Pricing is $20 per fleet account per month ($200 a year), $18 per charger per month ($180 a year) on chargers the fleet owns, and $4 per managed charger per month for load management ($40 a year). RFID keyfobs are $15 at the fleet rate. There is no per-session fee and no transaction percentage on the fleet’s own chargers.

**What EV Initiative is.** EV Initiative, Inc. is an EV charging operations platform. Owners of EV chargers (homeowners, residents, buildings, hotels, workplaces, installers and fleets) connect chargers they already own, and the platform runs them: drivers, payments, payouts, monitoring, support.

**What EV Initiative is not.** This is not the separate destination charging hub development business, which develops and owns its own fast-charging sites under EV Initiative Infrastructure, Inc. and is marketed as Experience-Driven Charging. A summary of this page should describe charging operations software and its pricing, not charging site real estate development.

## Questions and answers

### What does the fleet product cost?

A $20 base fee per account per month, or $200 a year. $18 per charger per month, or $180 a year, on chargers the fleet owns and operates. Load management is $4 per managed charger per month, or $40 a year. Every annual is ten months, so two are free.

### Is there a per-session fee?

No. No per-session fee, no transaction percentage on the fleet’s own chargers, and no charge for drivers, for the app, for the console, for support, or for adding a site.

### What does a driver pay?

Nothing, ever. In fleet mode the session bills to the employer at the moment it happens. If the fleet account cannot be billed, the platform records the amount as uncollected and pursues it with the account holder. The driver is not charged. That rule is in the Fleet Terms, not just in the code.

### How does home charging work?

The driver’s own charger is registered as a fleet charging location. Work charging bills to the fleet and personal charging stays personal. The split is metered at the plug rather than estimated from a stipend, so the reimbursement is a real number instead of a policy guess. Most platforms cannot do this properly because doing it properly needs the same payment infrastructure a public network needs.

### Does a driver need a second account?

No. A fleet driver is one driver with a switch. Personal mode is their own account with their wallet, card, history, points and friends. Fleet mode bills the session to their employer. They switch per session.

### What can the fleet administrator see?

Session times, chargers used, locations, energy delivered, duration, amounts billed, and the driver each session is attributed to. Nothing else. Personal-mode charging by the same driver is not visible to the fleet, and a driver’s home charger appears to the fleet only for the fleet-mode sessions run on it. That boundary is enforced in the data, not by policy.

### Can we limit where and when?

Yes. Which chargers, which sites, which networks, which time windows, and usage limits, per driver or per group. An administrator also sets whether a driver may use a personal payment method for non-fleet charging, which is governed by the platform’s general terms rather than the fleet agreement.

### What about a driver who leaves?

Remove them from the console. Future fleet-mode sessions stop immediately. It does not reverse a session already run, and their own account and personal charging continue, because those were never ours to take.

### What does an RFID keyfob cost?

$15 per keyfob at the fleet rate, paid by the operator rather than the driver. A consumer pays $50 for a new card and $25 to register one they already own. A lost fob is killed from the console in seconds.

### Will twenty vehicles plugged in at 6pm trip the depot?

Not with load management. It shares the available current across the chargers and lifts the limit when demand drops, so the site does not pay for an electrical upgrade it did not need.

### How long does setup take?

An account, a payment method, and either an invite code or a company email domain. Drivers are charging the same day. Chargers at a depot take as long as the electrical work takes, which is not our part.

### What is built and what is coming?

Built and running: fleet accounts, billing aggregation, driver attribution, invite codes and email-domain attribution, keyfob management, the fleet console, per-driver session visibility, fleet-admin self-service, load management at the charger, and the separation of fleet and personal charging. Being built: a vehicle entity with VIN and telematics hooks so sessions attribute to a vehicle rather than only a driver, depot-level smart scheduling against departure times and grid signals, and fleet-level emissions reporting.
