The receipt of one session, line by line

What you are looking at

A receipt is where the three flows of this path meet: the data of the session, the energy that was measured, and the money the contract prices it at. The provider writes it from the operator's charge detail record, the digital receipt that travels between the two companies after every session.¹ EU law requires the provider to have shown its price before the session and allows no surcharge for cross-border roaming;² for a business driver, the invoice it belongs to must carry the details VAT law lists.³

Two companies on one page

• From the operator. The charge point ID, the session times, the meter readings, the authorisation route and the record number: everything measured at the charger, delivered in the charge detail record.
• From the provider. The receipt number, the price, the VAT split, the payment terms and the alternatives: everything that follows from the driver's contract.
• From the law. That the price was shown first, that the kilowatt-hours were measured by a meter under measuring law, and that the invoice will carry what VAT law requires.⁶

What the driver can check

Three things, in a minute: that the price on the receipt is the price the app showed at 2:02 PM; that the energy is the difference of the two meter readings; and, with the link and the public key, that those readings are the meter's own. Everything else on the page is the provider's arithmetic. How the same session looks from the operator's side, as the raw record, is shown in OCPI and roaming, deep dive; how the provider and the operator settle it at the end of the month is the subject of Payments and billing, stop 05.
