For us, a benefit needs to reflect our team’s interests and company culture, while also addressing sustainability. NAVIT’s home charging solution covers all of this perfectly.

NAVIT supports several reimbursement models tailored to your company’s needs:
1. Actual-consumption reimbursement
Based on the precise amount of electricity used during home charging
NAVIT verifies each employee’s electricity tariff and automates reimbursement of their individual charging costs via payroll
2. Monthly flat rate
A fixed reimbursement amount you set for all eligible employees
Requires no receipts or proofs, offering a simple, low-administration solutionAsk ChatGPT
Under § 3 No. 50 of the German Income Tax Act (EStG), employers may reimburse employees’ home-charging costs for electric vehicles completely tax- and social-security free. The available options are:
1. Flat-rate reimbursement
Without an employer charging facility:
• €70 per month for electric vehicles
• €35 per month for plug-in hybrid vehiclesWith an employer charging facility:
• €30 per month for electric vehicles
• €15 per month for plug-in hybrid vehiclesNo entry on the wage-tax certificate is required for these flat rates, reducing payroll administration.
2. Exact reimbursement
Reimbursement is made based on actual costs. As long as proof is provided, the tax exemption under § 3 No. 50 EStG applies—regardless of whether those costs exceed or fall below the statutory flat rates. Employees can store their electricity contract details in the NAVIT app. This needs-based solution ensures that reimbursements accurately reflect individual consumption while still meeting all tax requirements.
Employees can use all brands and models of wallboxes for charging – there are no restrictions as long as the wallbox meets legal requirements, such as legal metrology.
NAVIT automatically reviews, approves, and stores all submitted invoices securely and in compliance with data protection regulations to ensure full compliance, especially in the event of audits.
