EV Charging Receipt Examples
See how our generator formats electric vehicle charging receipts: kWh consumed × rate per kWh, session duration, flat session fee, and no fuel excise tax. A fundamentally different receipt format from traditional fuel purchases.
Electric charging receipts cover Level 2 charging ($0.15-$0.35/kWh) at home or destination chargers and DC fast charging ($0.35-$0.65/kWh) at Tesla Superchargers, Electrify America, EVgo, and ChargePoint stations. These receipts document kWh delivered, charging session duration, and total cost per session.

What does an EV charging receipt show instead of gallons?
An EV charging receipt replaces gallons × price-per-gallon with kWh consumed × rate-per-kWh (for example '42.5 kWh × $0.43/kWh = $18.28'). The session summary also shows the start and end time, total session duration in minutes, and the charger ID or stall number. A session fee is often charged in addition to the per-kWh energy cost. There is no fuel excise tax on electricity; the rate shown is the total price including any applicable state sales tax.
What is a session fee on an EV charging receipt?
A session fee (typically $0.50–$2.00) is a flat connection charge billed the moment the cable is plugged in, regardless of the energy consumed. It covers the cost of initiating the transaction and holding the stall. The session fee appears as a separate line item below the kWh energy charge on the receipt. Not all networks charge a session fee; some charge per-minute or per-kWh only, but it is common at DC fast charging stations.
Is there a fuel excise tax on EV charging?
No. The federal fuel excise tax applies only to gasoline and diesel, not electricity. Some states have begun imposing a per-kWh charge on EV charging to partially offset lost fuel tax revenue, but this is not a federal requirement and the rates vary significantly. The EV charging receipt shows the per-kWh rate and any applicable state sales tax on the energy, but no federal fuel excise tax line.
What is DC fast charging vs. Level 2 charging?
DC fast charging (also called DCFC or Level 3) delivers 50–350 kW of power directly as DC, adding 100–200 miles of range in 20–45 minutes. It is the type found at highway charging stops and gas stations. Level 2 charging delivers 7–19 kW of AC power and is more common at parking garages, hotels, and workplaces, adding 10–30 miles per hour. Gas station EV chargers are almost always DC fast chargers; the receipt shows the charger type and power level.
