Paua Reimburse

Paua’s team of dedicated technologists, with first-hand experience of driving electric vehicles (EVs), understands the challenges drivers face. We recognise that adapting to charging an EV is a significant shift and are committed to simplifying this process.

Paua Reimburse is our innovative solution for fair compensation of electric vehicle drivers for business miles, developed in collaboration with Royal Mail since 2022. This initiative addresses the challenge employers face in providing appropriate business mileage reimbursement for EV drivers.

  • Full Cost Reimbursement

The government’s proposed Advisory Electricity Rate (AER) for home charging compensation is often considered inadequate. Paua Reimburse enables employers to fairly compensate drivers for home, workplace, and public charging within a unified digital framework.

  • Home Charging Benefits Without Compromise

Home charging offers the ideal scenario for many drivers—plug in overnight and wake up to a fully charged vehicle at the lowest rates. Paua Reimburse ensures fair compensation by accurately capturing mileage data and considering personal circumstances, allowing drivers and teams to fully benefit from home charging.

  • Any Vehicle, Any Charger, Any Tariff

Our solution is not limited by specific chargers, vehicle types, or energy supplier tariffs, designed with and for leading businesses to offer maximum flexibility and inclusivity.

Accurate and auditable

Say goodbye to guess work with all the digital tools to capture records of real driver business journeys and personal mileage.

Line manager sign off flows for added security and HR policy inclusion of commuting miles.
