EV Charging Receipt Example
This receipt documents a 28-minute DC fast charging session at Charger 4B. The EV accepted 42.5 kWh at $0.43 per kWh ($18.28) plus a flat $1.00 session fee for a charging subtotal of $19.28. The state applies 7% sales tax to EV charging services, adding $1.35 for a total of $20.63. Unlike a gasoline receipt, there is no fuel excise tax and no gallon volume: kWh consumed replaces gallons and rate-per-kWh replaces price-per-gallon.
This EV charging receipt documents a 45-minute DC fast charging session at Electrify America delivering 52 kWh at $0.43/kWh, totaling $22.36 — typical for a 0-80% charge on a Tesla Model 3 or Ford Mustang Mach-E.

What is the session fee on an EV charging receipt?
A session fee ($0.50–$2.00) is a flat connection charge billed the moment the charging cable is plugged in, regardless of the energy transferred. It covers the cost of initiating the transaction and reserving the stall. On this receipt the session fee is $1.00 and appears as a separate line item below the kWh energy charge. Not all charging networks charge a session fee: some networks use per-kWh pricing only. DC fast chargers are more likely to include a session fee than Level 2 AC chargers.
Is there sales tax on EV charging?
It depends on the state. Some states classify EV charging as a sale of electricity subject to standard sales tax; others treat it as a service and apply a different rate or no tax. In this example, the state applies a 7% sales tax to both the energy charge and the session fee. There is no federal fuel excise tax on electricity: that tax applies only to gasoline and diesel. The receipt shows the sales tax as a separate line item so the total is fully transparent.
