Consumption-based energy supplement from Clever comes into force on 1 January 2023 – here is what you need to know:

Due to rising electricity prices, Clever is changing the current energy supplement on their subscriptions with effect from 1 January 2023.

From the new year, the energy supplement will therefore be replaced by a variable and consumption-based supplement, which follows the average electricity price and the driver's monthly kWh consumption. Not sure what the changes mean? Here is what you need to know as an employer:

How to understand the the variable energy supplement

For companies that have chosen a Clever Complete or Clever Complete Network solution, there will still be a basic subscription. However, the difference is the energy supplement.

Basic subscription prices

In addition to the variable energy supplement, Clever's monthly subscription price consists of a basic subscription that is valid until 31 March 2023:

• Basic subscription for EVs: DKK 639. New price per 1 April 2023: DKK 639
• Basic subscription for PHEVs: DKK 335. New price per 1 April 2023: DKK 359

Variable energy supplement

The variable energy supplement is calculated based on an average consumption of 500 kWh/month for electric cars and 250 kWh/month for plug-in hybrid vehicles. In addition, the supplement is calculated on the basis of a monthly electricity price that exceeds DKK 1.80/kWh excl. VAT.

Therefore, the overall calculation for the energy supplement looks like this:
 

A monthly advance amount of DKK 1,000 for an electric car and DKK 500 for a plug-in hybrid car will be invoiced, as the energy supplement is calculated based on an expectation of an electricity price of DKK 3.80/kWh excl. VAT.

This means that an energy supplement must be paid if the electricity price exceeds DKK 1.80/kWh excl. VAT. On the other hand, if there is a month in which the electricity price is below DKK 1.80/kWh, excl. VAT then there is no energy supplement for that month.

The basic subscription therefore only covers up to DKK 1.80/kWh excl. VAT. Hereafter, companies will be invoiced according to consumption on account.
