Abstract: The transition to electric vehicles (EV) as part of corporate fleets poses challenges for monitoring and reimbursing home charging activities. This paper explores the application of Internet of Things (IoT) networks to facilitate the use of portable EV charging stations by employees for home charging of corporate vehicles. The core objective is to enable precise reporting of the energy consumed during home charging sessions directly to employers, ensuring accurate compensation and energy usage tracking. This article looks at the theoretical and practical assessment of whether 5G-IoT networks are suitable for this particular case. An experimental setup was established, deploying a portable EV charging station integrated with 5GIoT connectivity to test its effectiveness in real-world residential settings under varying radio conditions. The experiment focuses on assessing the reliability of data transmission, usability in home conditions, and user experience in interfacing with the charging infrastructure. Results demonstrate the feasibility of using 5GIoT networks for this application, highlighting the potential for seamless, efficient, and secure communication between portable charging stations and corporate monitoring systems. The paper also identifies potential challenges, such as network coverage in residential areas and the challenges in device design.
