Siemens Launches Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement to Streamline Fleet Electrification

Siemens is accelerating the future of fleet electrification in the U.S. with the launch of Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement, a new solution within its Managed Services portfolio. Designed to simplify home charging for fleet operators, the offering enables accurate driver reimbursements without the need for costly networked chargers or separate metering systems.

Fully compatible with all chargers and electric vehicles, Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement leverages advanced vehicle telematics to monitor and measure charging sessions based on vehicle location rather than the charger itself. This ensures that operators can reimburse drivers specifically for company vehicle charging, even if the same home charger is used for multiple personal vehicles — significantly reducing both capital and operational expenses.

“The new Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement solution is a game-changer for fleet operators looking to accelerate their electrification journey,” said Alan White, Global Head of Emerging Transportation Platforms at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. “It reflects our customer-first approach, speed of innovation, and our leadership in delivering agile, comprehensive solutions for fleet electrification.”

The new solution brings a host of benefits for fleet operators, including:

  • Reduced Infrastructure Costs: Eliminates the need for dedicated meters or networked home chargers.
  • Automated Reimbursements: Seamless integration into payroll systems simplifies the reimbursement process.
  • Data-Driven Insights: Advanced analytics track program effectiveness and inform decision-making.
  • Comprehensive Support: 24/7 access to Siemens experts for driver onboarding, troubleshooting, and analytics reporting.

Unlike a standalone software product, Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement is delivered as a managed service, allowing fleet managers to focus on operations while Siemens handles the technical complexity.

Home charging also enables fleets to leverage aggregated energy loads, creating opportunities to participate in energy programs and unlock additional savings and revenue streams.
