No Telematics
HMRC-Aligned
Cost-neutral
THE PROBLEM
Flat EV mileage rates are failing your drivers.
As EV adoption increases, the gap between what flat HMRC rates pay and what charging actually costs is growing. Your drivers are losing out, under-reimbursing some drivers and overpaying others. This financial distortion is leaving your finance team having to manually reconcile the mess.
AER under-reimburses
Drivers using public rapid chargers pay 40p+/kWh but receive only 7p/ mile back under the AER.
AMAP overpays grey fleet
45p AMAP rates frequently overpay grey EV fleet users relative to actual energy cost — you're losing money.
Manual admin burden
Finance teams reconcile spreadsheets and assumptions manually. That's not scalable.
THE SOLUTION
Business mileage for the modern fleet.
Reimburse. combines actual public charging data with an approved home charging rate to calculate mileage costs, ensuring drivers aren't out of pocket when switching to an EV.
Full audit trail and documented allocation methodology available for review.
Driver submits total miles
Monthly odometer reading submitted by each driver. No app or GPS device required.
