Benefits in kind: the scheme has been extended until the end of 2024
Benefits in kind (BIC) are a tax-free scheme that allows employers to grant a number of advantages to their employees over and above their pay. This includes the provision of charging points for personal or business vehicles (in the "vehicle benefit in kind" section). The good news is that the NEA has been extended by decree until the end of 2024.
NOTES FROM 1ᵉʳ JANUARY 2025, FREE CHARGING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES AT WORK WILL NO LONGER BE AVAILABLE TO EMPLOYEES.
However, new conditions apply according to thedecree of 26 December 2022. Where the employer decides to finance part or all of theinstallation of a recharging point at their employees' homes, there are a number of different situations:
- If the terminal ceases to be available at the end of the employee's employment contract, "the cost is excluded from the basis for social security contributions". The employee therefore does not have to pay contributions in proportion to the employer's contribution.
- If the terminal is not collected by the employer at the end of the employment contract, "the cost is excluded from the basis for social security contributions up to a limit of 50 % of the actual expenditure that the employee would have incurred for the purchase and installation of the terminal, up to a maximum of €1,000". For terminals installed more than 5 years ago, the limits are raised to 75 % of actual expenditure, with a ceiling of €1,500.
As regards the payment of other costs arising from the use of a home recharging point, such as the maintenance of the point, "payment is excluded from the basis of assessment for social security contributions up to a limit of 50 % of the amount of actual expenditure that the employee would have had to incur".
Please note that electricity costs are not included in the AVE scheme.
Our Beev experts will propose a package tailored to your needs and your projects.

Are you planning to install one or more electric vehicle charging points in your company, but are not eligible for the Advenir programme or local authority grants?
To optimise the cost of your project, it's essential to make the right choices, both in terms of the models of chargepoint and their location. For example, it may be more economical to opt for charging stations with several charge points. In terms of installation, a location closer to the electrical panel is also likely to reduce your budget. Deployment costs may also be lower. Each criterion must be decided on a case-by-case basis, according to your needs and the configuration of your premises.
As you can see, when it comes to charging stations, it's best to opt for expert advice! Beev can help you every step of the way, from choosing the most suitable charging infrastructure to selecting an IRVE-certified installer.
