Beev or IRVE installers: complete solution or installation only
The energy transformation is forcing companies to carry out an in-depth review of their mobility policy. The installation of charging points for electric cars (IRVE) can no longer be approached as an isolated technical project. It is becoming a strategic leverwhich is driven by economic considerations (TCO, depreciation electric cars), regulatory (EPZThese include multi-site management, employee support and energy integration.
Against this backdrop, many groups are calling on the services of specialist IRVE installersable to pose a AC terminal or DC terminal. But this ad hoc response, focused on technical execution, quickly revealed its limitations in the face of the growing complexity of electrification projects.
In contrast, Beev offers a integrated approachThis ROI- and business continuity-focused solution is built around the whole electrical life cycle vehicle, financing, IRVE, supervision, taxation, auditing, assistance... A complete orchestration, designed for corporate fleetsmulti-site or multi-profile (electric city cars, Electric SUVs, electric vans, electric compacts).

IRVE installers: a technical, targeted, one-off response
The IRVE installers play an essential role in the landscape of the electric mobility. Their core expertise: feasibility studies, electrical connection, physical installation, and in some cases, the installation of the system. maintenance of recharging points. Their proposal is often structured around :
- Installation of AC or DC terminals (7 kW to 150 kW)as required.
- A detailed technical specificationlimited to installation work.
- Billing on a fee-for-service or project basis.
- Technical support on the terminal or on the electrical system.
Some may also offer basic energy management (charge control, load shedding), or even a billing link if the terminal is made available to a third party.
But the approach remains vertical and disconnected of the whole fleet context: no link with the choice of vehicles, financing, business use, taxation, or the supervision of several sites. And yet, for a CFO or Fleet ManagerThis compartmentalisation generates operating frictionsand hidden costs and a loss of strategic coherence.
Beev: a logic of orchestration IRVE + fleet + taxation
The Beev approach stands out for its systemic integration of the IRVE in the mobility strategy. L'installation of recharging stations is just one brick a complete ecosystem, designed to maximise the return on energy, tax and operational investment.
A 360° approach to IRVE
- Company IRVE installationpublic or private car park, alternating or direct current.
- IRVE installationon remote sites or at home.
- Centralised supervision real-time monitoring, access management, alerts and reporting.
- Proactive maintenance and energy management (power, load shedding, planning).
Orchestration with the electric fleet
- Optimised selection of vehicles (vans, SUVs, city cars, compact cars).
- Multi-brand agreements (12,000 vehicles available at short notice).
- Choice of financing (LLD, LOA, leasing), IRVE compatible.
- Business advice by actual use (logistics fleet, commercial fleet, technical fleet, etc.)
A clear understanding of taxation and obligations
- IRVE tax credit (30 %) - included in the costing from the outset.
- Specific tax deductions for terminals installed on professional sites.
- Obligations ZFE Environmental compliance: support for projects linked to environmental compliance.
- Non-deductible depreciation, weight penalty, fringe benefits - Beev provides a full reading, taken from his tax guide 2025.
Use case: gradual electrification of a multi-site fleet
Let's take the example of a construction and public works group operating at 6 regional sites, with a mixed fleet of 35 vehicles (15 vans, 10 SUVs, 10 city cars). Aims:
- Reducing environmental impact.
- Reduce TCO over 5 years.
- Comply with EPZ obligations at 3 sites.
- Allowing recharging at all sites + at home for 8 employees.
With a conventional IRVE installer :
- Bollards installed without any link to vehicles or usage profiles.
- No support on the overall dimensioning or the tax credit.
- No pooling between sites and no centralised supervision.
- Obligation to manage several service providers at the same time (installer, builder, lessor, maintainer, etc.).
With Beev :
- Initial on-site audit + fleet audit.
- Definition of a phased electrification planwith a choice of vehicles to suit (range, use, tax).
- Installation of terminals AC 22 kW for city cars and SUVs, DC 50 kW for commercial vehicles.
- Integrated IRVE tax credit in the financial proposal.
- Multi-site supervision platform, with remote control and preventive maintenance.
- Vehicles delivered in 3 weeks, financing in line with CAPEX/OPEX targets.
Comparative analysis: IRVE expertise alone vs. overall electric mobility expertise
| Criteria | IRVE installers | Beev approach |
|---|---|---|
| Type of service | Installation of bollards | Turnkey solution |
| Fleet integration | No | Complete |
| Vehicle financing | Out of scope | Integrated (LLD, LOA, Crédit-Bail) |
| IRVE supervision | Sometimes, as an option | Native and multisite |
| Tax & grants | Little knowledge | Full optimisation (tax credit, ZFE, depreciation) |
| IRVE maintenance | Reactive | Proactive & controlled |
| Long-term planning | Absent | Strategic (audit, roadmap) |
| Overall coherence | Fragmented | Unified |
Conclusion: from technical to strategic, electrical maturity requires an overall vision
At a time when electric mobility is becoming a cornerstone of companies' CSR and financial strategies, the installation of charging stations can no longer be seen as an isolated technical project.
The traditional approach - centred on simply installing IRVE equipment - is rapidly reaching its limits in terms of multisite managementof tax returnof TCO management and consistency between business use and infrastructure.
Faced with this situation, Beev has positioned itself as a the complete orchestrator of the energy transitionA solution designed to meet the needs of our customers, by integrating all the parameters: from the vehicle to financing, from the IRVE to taxation, from usage to supervision. A solution designed for demanding decision-makersto align economic performance, carbon efficiency and regulatory compliance.
