Humax EV Charging has announced a strategic partnership with Rightcharge to transform how UK fleets manage electric vehicle (EV) charging at home. The collaboration brings together the Humax MX7 Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)-ready charger and Rightcharge’s payments platform to create a smarter, more transparent, and scalable ecosystem for business charging.

At its core, the integration addresses one of the biggest pain points in fleet electrification: accurately managing and reimbursing home-charging costs without adding administrative complexity.

A Unified Platform for Business Charging at Home

The combined solution provides seamless home-charging support for company cars, fleet vehicles, and business-owned EVs. By integrating hardware and payments into a single system, Humax and Rightcharge eliminate the fragmentation that typically plagues home charging reimbursement.

The result is a unified platform where business and personal charging are clearly separated, reimbursements are automated, and fleet managers gain full visibility over usage and costs.

Tackling the Problem of ‘Grey’ Charging Costs

One of the longstanding challenges with home EV charging is the reliance on estimates or trust-based reporting. This often leads to so-called “grey” charging costs—where personal vehicles may inadvertently (or intentionally) be charged under company expense accounts.

The Humax MX7 addresses this issue with advanced vehicle identification powered by ISO 15118-compliant PLC (Power Line Communication) technology. As soon as a vehicle is plugged in, the charger can detect its unique identifier.

If the system identifies a mismatch—such as a personal vehicle attempting to charge on a company account—the Rightcharge platform can either:

• Automatically ring-fence the cost, or

• Block the charging session entirely

This ensures a strict separation between business and personal usage, giving fleet operators far greater control and accuracy in reimbursement processes.

Added Security for Home Users

While the partnership is designed for fleets, it also offers meaningful benefits for private users.

Through the Humax Charge app, MX7 owners can enable a “registered-only” charging mode. This allows them to pre-authorise specific vehicles and block any unrecognised ones.

In practical terms, this means:

• A neighbour or unauthorised user cannot tap into the charger

• Suspicious activity triggers real-time alerts to the homeowner

• Energy usage remains fully controlled and secure

It’s a simple but effective layer of protection that turns the charger into a managed household asset rather than an open-access power source.

Charger-Level Intelligence Expands Fleet Compatibility

A key differentiator in this solution is where vehicle identification happens: directly at the charger level.

Unlike software-only approaches that rely on vehicle APIs or limited integrations, the MX7’s hardware-based identification enables compatibility across a much broader range of EV models.

For fleet managers, this removes a major barrier to scalability. Mixed fleets—often comprising different brands and models—can now be included in reimbursement programmes without restriction.

Lower Costs and Greater Convenience for Drivers

The benefits extend beyond fleet managers to drivers as well.

Home charging is significantly cheaper than using public infrastructure and eliminates the need to spend time at charging stations during working hours. With the Humax–Rightcharge ecosystem:

• Drivers avoid out-of-pocket expenses

• Reimbursements are automated and accurate

• Charging becomes more convenient and predictable

This not only improves driver satisfaction but also reduces operational inefficiencies across the fleet.

Simplified Billing and Compliance

Rightcharge consolidates charging activity across home, workplace, and public networks into a single monthly invoice that complies with HMRC requirements.

For businesses, this means:

• Full visibility into charging costs and usage

• Integrated carbon reporting for sustainability tracking

• Reduced administrative overhead

By centralising data and billing, the platform transforms a fragmented process into a streamlined, auditable workflow.

Key Features at a Glance

• Automatic separation of business and personal charging

• Built-in fraud prevention through vehicle recognition

• ISO 15118-based charger-level identification

• Fully automated home charging reimbursement

• Broad EV compatibility across mixed fleets

• Consolidated, HMRC-compliant billing

• Lower costs and time savings for drivers

Industry Perspective

Jeff Kim, President of Humax, framed the partnership as a step-change in fleet charging:

“Together, Humax and Rightcharge are redefining how fleets manage EV charging—turning home charging from an administrative challenge into a controlled, transparent and cost-efficient solution.”

He added that the MX7’s V2G-ready architecture and expanded vehicle compatibility help overcome long-standing limitations in reimbursement systems.

Charlie Cook, CEO and founder of Rightcharge, highlighted the broader ambition behind the collaboration:

“Both Rightcharge and Humax share a strong desire to unlock the true potential of electric fleets as revenue-generating assets.”

He also highlighted future opportunities in grid flexibility and vehicle-to-grid capabilities as areas for continued innovation.

The Bigger Picture

As fleets continue to electrify, home charging is rapidly becoming a critical piece of the infrastructure puzzle. Yet without proper controls, it introduces financial ambiguity and operational friction.

By combining intelligent hardware with a robust payments and compliance platform, Humax and Rightcharge are addressing these challenges head-on. The result is a solution that not only simplifies reimbursement but also lays the groundwork for more advanced energy use cases—including V2G integration and grid participation.

For fleet operators looking to scale EV adoption without losing control over costs, this partnership signals a meaningful step forward.
