Guide to fringe benefits for electric company cars: advantages for companies and employees

In 2025, the electric car as a fringe benefit has emerged as a winning strategic lever for companies and their employees. This corporate welfare initiative effectively combines sustainability and savings while becoming a powerful tool for attracting and retaining the best talent in the market.

For the employee: a concrete and sustainable benefit

Offering an electric vehicle as part of the compensation package increases employee satisfaction and well-being. The benefits are numerous and tangible:

• Real economic savings: the cost of electric charging is significantly lower than that of traditional fuels, especially when done at the company site or at home with optimized energy rates. Added to this are lower maintenance costs and active tax benefits.
• Sustainability and reduced environmental impact: by driving a zero-emission vehicle, employees actively contribute to reducing pollution and improving air quality in our cities.
• Driving pleasure and comfort: electric cars offer a smoother, quieter ride with instantaneous acceleration, turning every commute, even the commute to work, into a more relaxing travel experience.
• Modern personal and professional image: using an electric vehicle projects an image of responsibility, innovation, and attention to sustainability values.

For the company: a strategic investment for the future

The inclusion of the electric car in the fringe benefit plan is a strategic investment with significant returns.

• Attraction & retention of top talent: in an increasingly competitive job market, offering innovative benefits aligned with modern values is a differentiating factor. The electric car is particularly valued by the most qualified and environmentally sensitive talent.
• Improved brand reputation and CSR: Adopting an electric fleet strengthens the company's commitment to sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), improving its public image.
• Tax benefits and incentives for 2025: Italian legislation incentivizes the adoption of low-emission vehicles. The company can access advantageous deductions and depreciation for the purchase and installation of charging points, while the employee benefits from subsidized taxation on the mixed use of the vehicle.
• Achievement of Sustainability Goals (ESG): introducing electric vehicles into the corporate fleet directly contributes to the reduction of carbon footprint and the achievement of decarbonization goals and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) parameters.
• Positioning as an innovative and future-ready company: demonstrates the company's ability to adapt to new technological and sustainable trends, positioning it as a forward-looking leader in its industry.

Conclusion: a winning ecosystem

FAQ: How is the electric car given in mixed use to the employee as a fringe benefit taxed in Italy?

To date, the electric car granted in mixed use to the employee enjoys a very advantageous tax regime in Italy. Taxation of the benefit in the payroll is based on a percentage calculated on the conventional mileage cost.
