Workplaces

Charging as an employee benefit with no or low capital cost. Employee-only access, billing by employee, lower demand charges and fleet support.

A benefit employees use every workday

Employees who drive EVs, and those thinking about one, value a place to charge at work. Level 2 suits the workday, because cars stay parked for hours.

Why it's different

Why workplaces need a different kind of charging

At work, charging is an employee benefit, not a public amenity. Access has to be limited to staff, costs need to land in the right place, the building's demand charges can't climb, and fleet vehicles need to be ready every morning.

01

Charging just for employees

The challenge

Open chargers in an employee lot end up used by visitors and the public, and staff can't count on a port.

How Matcha handles it

MatchaOS sets exclusive access for employees, so only authorized drivers can start a session.

02

Billing by employee, routed to HR

The challenge

Some employers cover charging as a benefit, others pass the cost through, and finance needs a clean record either way.

How Matcha handles it

Every session is submetered by employee, and usage can be routed to HR and payroll systems for benefits or reimbursement.

03

Peak demand charges

The challenge

Everyone plugs in around 9am, right as the building's load peaks, and that can set the month's demand charge.

How Matcha handles it

MatchaOS staggers and throttles charging through the morning peak to keep demand charges down, while cars still finish by the end of the day.

04

Fleet vehicles ready every morning

The challenge

Fleet cars and vans have to be charged and ready to roll each morning, and can't be blocked by employee cars.

How Matcha handles it

Matcha supports fleet charging on dedicated ports with overnight schedules and usage reporting by vehicle.

05

Workplace and fleet rebates

The challenge

Workplace and fleet charging qualify for different utility and state programs, each with its own rules.

How Matcha handles it

Matcha finds the programs your site qualifies for, applies for them and builds the incentive into the project.

06

Facilities teams stay focused

The challenge

Facilities teams already have a full plate, and charger support isn't on it.

How Matcha handles it

Matcha monitors every charger remotely and handles maintenance, repairs and driver support for the full term.

A benefit without the capital cost

Matcha funds, installs, owns and operates the chargers, and the property can share in the charging profits. Employees sign up and pay through MatchaOS, and load management shares the building's existing service across chargers. To own the chargers instead, buy them through Matcha and run them on MatchaOS.
