ANAHEIM, CA, May 5, 2025 – Siemens has announced the launch of Depot360 “Home Charging Reimbursement” in the United States as part of its managed services portfolio. Compatible with all chargers and electric vehicles (EVs), the offer allows fleet operators to reimburse drivers for home charging sessions while reducing capital investments and operational costs.
Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement applies vehicle telematics data to determine home charging sessions based on vehicle location instead of charger data. This helps fleet operators reimburse only for company vehicle charging, even when chargers are shared. Siemens works with telematics providers to access real-time vehicle data to ensure accurate and fair home charging reimbursement.
“The new Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement solution, part of our Managed Services portfolio, is a game-changer for fleet operators looking to accelerate their electrification journey, enabling remote and home charging for fleets while minimizing capital investment and risk,” said Alan White, global head of emerging transportation platforms at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. “This innovative approach reflects our strong customer focus, fast pace of innovation, and our ability as a leading technology company to provide agile, unrivalled end-to-end solutions for fleet electrification.”
Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement offers multiple benefits for fleet operators. These benefits could include cost reduction by avoiding the need for networked chargers and dedicated meters, simplified management through automated payroll integration, and the ability to reimburse only fleet vehicles, while allowing private vehicles to use the same charger. Analytics can also provide insights to measure program effectiveness. Additionally, the solution is a managed service that includes 24/7 access to Siemens’ experts who support driver onboarding, manage driver queries, provide periodic analytics, and troubleshooting, freeing up fleet operators to focus on other valuable tasks.
The first customer to deploy the solution is Siemens Mobility Services, part of Siemens Corp. Chain Management. The fleet team manages 11,000 vehicles across the U.S., including cars, trucks, cargo vans and tractor, with plans to implement Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement fleetwide by 2030.
“Identifying the optimal solution internally underscores the depth of our in-house expertise,” said Adam Orth, US Head of Fleet at Siemens Mobility Services. “We’re proud to be the first to adopt this innovative approach. This solution not only reduces upfront infrastructure costs and ongoing operational expenses, but streamlines home charging reimbursement programs, enabling operators to scale their electrification plans with greater efficiency, flexibility, and confidence.”
Furthermore, data collected from home charging sessions will inform the Depot360 AI platform, allowing for smarter optimization across fleet charging locations. When fleets charge at depots, public stations, and homes, the platform can analyze patterns, forecast usage, and recommend an optimal charging mix. The analysis helps reduce costs and integrate home charging into the overall fleet strategy.
Home charging will also give the opportunity for fleet operators to reduce energy costs by leveraging scale via aggregation. It will contribute to advancing Depot360 solutions, helping fleet operators achieve energy savings and access new revenue streams through participation in energy programs.
