If your employer provides you with a Blossom home charger, your partner — who is self-employed — may also wish to use that charge point to charge their electric vehicle for professional purposes.
Blossom offers two clear and transparent solutions for this situation:
Scenario 1: Charging via a Blossom Private Charge Card
Blossom offers the option to assign an additional private charge card to your home charger.
This card is only authorized for your home charge point and cannot be used at public charging stations.
Sessions made with this card are recorded in the system but always show €0: no automatic reimbursement or invoicing is generated.
How to request it?
You can request a Blossom Private Charge Card for your self-employed partner via the Blossom app.
During the request, a name (e.g. the name of the partner’s business) can be assigned to the card to help easily track sessions later.
Compensation and administration
The electricity is billed through your own electricity contract, since you are the owner of the charge point.
Your self-employed partner reimburses you directly, based on the total kWh charged × a market-based rate.
Your partner keeps an internal record of the sessions in their accounting system.
The rate can be set in consultation with an accountant (e.g. your real electricity cost, the CREG rate, or a typical public AC charging rate).
Example:
“500 kWh × €0.34/kWh = €170 paid to [your name] on [date] for professional charging via whitelisted card.”
Getting a session overview
You can request an overview of all sessions made with the Blossom Private Charge Card via the chat function in the Blossom app.
Tax treatment
The charging costs can be recorded in the accounting of your self-employed partner.
No VAT deduction is possible, as no VAT invoice is issued.
There are no tax implications for you, as long as the reimbursement only covers your actual costs.
Scenario 2: Charging via a Charge Card Invoiced in the Name of the Self-Employed Partner
For self-employed users who prefer working with an official invoice, Blossom offers a separate solution through a dedicated MSP contract.
Blossom MSP Contract for Self-Employed Partners
Self-employed partners of Blossom home charger users can notify their interest via their partner to obtain a separate charge card with official invoicing.
Blossom then offers an MSP contract at €5/month (excl. VAT), which includes:
A dedicated charge card in the name of the self-employed business
Separate access to the Blossom app (with consumption overview)
Invoiced home charging sessions
No roaming fees or margins at Blossom charge points
Public charging with the same card
Reimbursement to the home charger owner at the CREG rate
How to apply?
Contact the Blossom team via the app's chat function and provide the details of your self-employed partner.
Blossom will then contact them directly to initiate the MSP contract.
Alternative via an External MSP
Your self-employed partner may also charge at your home charger using a card from another MSP (Mobility Service Provider).
In this case:
Charging sessions are billed to your partner by the external MSP.
You are reimbursed at the CREG rate by the external MSP.
Blossom handles the financial reconciliation between parties.
Your partner receives an invoice from the external MSP.
Note:
Using an external MSP card may incur additional roaming costs or surcharges depending on the provider.
