As fleets shift to electric, one truth is becoming clear: where vehicles park overnight is where they should charge. And with nearly half of all fleet vehicles garaged at employees’ homes, home charging isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s mission-critical.
But it’s rarely straightforward.
From navigating property access and electrical upgrades, to managing reimbursements and ensuring long-term uptime, home charging introduces new layers of complexity, just as fleets are under pressure to simplify.
That’s the challenge: how do you deploy reliable, scalable charging, not just at one depot, but at thousands of homes across Australia?
The good news? It’s solvable. But only if we’re willing to identify the problems and design for them.
What’s Really Holding Back Home Charging for Fleets
Diagnosing the problem: Through our technical control over both sites, session insights via CORE and Illuminate, and our dedicated team of technicians and software engineers, JET Charge was able to diagnose the problem swiftly and with minimal disruption to bus service.
For many businesses, home charging feels like the logical next step in fleet electrification. But making it work in practice is harder than it looks. Here’s why.
- Blurred Lines on Ownership
Who owns the charger? Who maintains it? Who pays when it breaks? These questions are often unresolved, leaving both employees and employers exposed to risk, confusion, and unplanned costs.
- Installation Isn’t Plug and Play
Retrofitting chargers into homes, especially apartments or older buildings, can mean switchboard upgrades, approvals, and coordination headaches. The result is often delays, budget blowouts, or a decision to walk away altogether.
- Reimbursement Adds Admin
Without the right tools, tracking home energy use for business charging becomes a manual process. Spreadsheets, receipts, and estimates create frustration for drivers and extra work for payroll and fleet teams.
- No Plan for When Things Go Wrong
A faulty charger can take a vehicle off the road. But most home setups don’t come with a service agreement. If support isn’t built in, downtime and finger-pointing follow.
- Drivers Need More Than a Charger
Many drivers are new to EVs. Without proper onboarding, a support number to call, and clarity around how charging is billed and reimbursed, adoption can stall before it starts.
What Seamless Home Charging Should Really Look Like
Think of it like an enhanced fuel card experience. Simple, reliable, and built to scale.
- One predictable monthly cost
- No capital outlay or hidden costs
- Fast, safe and compliant installation
- Billing and energy reimbursement sorted
- Support when something goes wrong
- Less admin for your team
- Less hassle for your drivers
- Relocations when employee or vehicle allocations change
That’s the benchmark for home charging. And that’s exactly what JET Charge+ delivers.
Through a fully managed subscription model, JET Charge+ removes the friction from fleet electrification at employee homes. Hardware, installation, support, maintenance, and reporting are all wrapped into a single monthly line item. No chasing receipts.
With over 11,000 residential installs already completed across Australia over the last decade, JET Charge+ gives businesses the confidence to scale EV adoption while meeting Scope 1, 2, and 3 reporting obligations.
It works because we’ve built it to. For fleets, for organisations, for drivers.
JET Charge+ Solves the Real Barriers to Home Charging
JET Charge+ is our Charging-as-a-Service (CaaS) solution built for EV fleets. It combines smart hardware, installation, maintenance, and energy tracking into one monthly subscription. No upfront capital. No ownership burden. Just a model that works.
Here’s how it removes the friction:
We take care of the infrastructure
You don’t have to buy or manage a single charger. We supply, install, and maintain every unit. We also handle compliance, so there is no ambiguity or admin left on your desk.
We eliminate the upfront cost
Installations are covered. Our national installer network works across standalone homes and townhouses, across metro and regional areas Australia-wide. We design every site for safety, compliance, and minimal disruption to the property.
We support reimbursement
Each session is tracked through a cellular-connected EV charger. The data flows back to our best in class asset management system, Illuminate, making reimbursements accurate and payroll-ready. No receipts. No back and forth with drivers.
We manage maintenance and uptime
Our team monitors every charger remotely using our Illuminate platform. Issues are diagnosed early and resolved fast. Annual preventative maintenance is also built in, so your infrastructure stays reliable.
We support your drivers every step
From training and onboarding, to ongoing support, we equip your drivers with everything they need. If they move, we can relocate the charger and keep the service running.
We grow with your fleet
When you scale, we scale with you. JET Charge+ can onboard new chargers in weeks, not months. Whether you are adding 10 vehicles or 200, the model stays consistent.
This is what smart, scalable electrification looks like. Built for fleets. Managed by experts.
Fleet Electrification Begins at Home
The journey to electric isn’t just about depots and public infrastructure. For many fleets, it will start in driveways and garages across the country, as it can scale quickly and add convenience. That’s why home charging needs to be simple, standardised, and fully supported.
JET Charge+ Home makes it possible.
