Rolec EV has developed an internet-connected domestic charging point, enabling remote tracking of energy use for company cars for expenses and accounting.

The EV: HomeSmart range features a built-in GPRS and WiFi connection, enabling drivers to remotely turn it on or off, check the charging status and view energy consumption via a smartphone app. This can also provide data on usage, for businesses with electric company cars or home-based vehicles.

Kieron Alsop, Rolec’s managing director, explained: “It can also be utilised by companies operating a fleet of company EVs which have a requirement to manage staff home charging expenses and accounting, as well as proving ideal for an individual EV driver who simply wants to interact with, and get a little bit more from, their home charging point.”
