Question 1

What is EV fleet tariff configuration?

Accepted Answer

It's the process of defining separate charging cost rules by location (home, depot, public), time band (off-peak, normal, peak) and driver or vehicle type, instead of applying one flat ₹/kWh rate fleet-wide, and connecting those rules directly to invoicing and reimbursement.

Question 2

Do I need separate tariffs for home charging vs. depot charging?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Home charging is billed on the driver's own domestic slab rate and routes to reimbursement; depot charging is billed on the fleet's commercial or EV-category connection and routes to a depot cost center. Treating them as one rate either overpays or underpays one side.

Question 3

How often should depot Time-of-Day rates be updated?

Accepted Answer

Whenever your DISCOM revises its tariff order — typically annually, sometimes mid-cycle. Maharashtra's MSEDCL EV rate moved from ₹8.47 to ₹9.10 per unit within one tariff cycle, so a rate configured once and left untouched will quietly drift from what's actually being billed.

Question 4

Can tariff rules be tied automatically to driver reimbursement?

Accepted Answer

Yes — once a home-charging session is tagged to a driver cohort and a rate, the claim can be computed automatically from metered kWh instead of relying on flat monthly allowances or manual approval.

Question 5

Does this work for fleets operating across multiple states?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it's actually where configuration matters most — each state and DISCOM has its own EV tariff category and ToD schedule, so a multi-state fleet needs a distinct rate card per location rather than one national number.
