ClearCharge Home FAQs | Merchants Fleet
How it Works
Select the Right Home Chargers for Your Application
We’ll help you choose from our list of approved EV chargers that are compatible with your EV fleet, charging speed requirements, and budget.
Receive a Quote from a Licensed Electrician
Easily manage installation costs through a standardized process and reliable installation quotes. Your employees complete a short questionnaire on their smartphone to get their custom quote, which you can review and approve prior to installation – or auto-approve with a set threshold amount. Most quotes are generated through employee-submitted photos, while some require on-site evaluation.
Drivers Enjoy a Streamlined Installation Process
An approved licensed and insured electrician from our vendor network will schedule the installation with your driver. They’ll pull any applicable permits (if needed) and perform the installation of the charger your organization has selected. Employees do not have to lay any money out of pocket.
Get Accurate Charger Monitoring and Energy Tracking
After installation, you’ll be able to track charging data and associated costs to reduce reimbursement complications. Get charger reporting that allows fleet managers to audit vehicle charging, if needed, with energy costs that don’t require additional calculations.
