eV Power Exchange Mobile App FAQs

Which payment methods do you accept?

eV Power Exchange accepts the following payment methods:

  • Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover credit cards
  • Visa and MasterCard debit cards.
  • Apple Pay and Google Pay Mobile Payments

How is pricing determined?

The price per charge is set by eV Power and is based in part on the charge per kilowatt hour charged by the public utility.

How does pricing work per-kWh?

You pay for the energy your vehicle receives through the charger from the power utility.

How do I find out the EV charging price per-kWh at my favorite charging location?

Pricing varies state by state and location.  To view pricing in the app, select the station from the map and scroll to the bottom of the page to view pricing for all chargers.

How do I stop a charge?

There are two ways in which a charge will stop. When your vehicle reaches its predetermined charge limit, the charge will automatically terminate. Additionally,

you can manually terminate a charge. This is done by selecting the “stop” button on the mobile app or pressing the “stop” button on the top left side of the charging units display screen.

How does idle time work?

Once the charge has ended, you have a ten minute grace period to remove the charging cable and relocate your vehicle before idle time charges apply.

Why has $30 been charged to my credit card instead of my actual transaction fee?

The $30 is a pre-authorization hold placed on the driver’s credit card to ensure that sufficient funds are available when using our chargers. Once the issuer bank or financial institution has authorized the transaction fee for processing, the pre-authorization amount will be reversed and replaced with the actual charge incurred for the charging session. Please note that this is a normal course payment verification procedure, which may take up to 3-4 days to complete. In any event, the pre-authorization amount of $30 will not be charged to your credit card.

Are EV charging transactions subject to tax?

EV charging transactions are currently subject to various taxes, which may include, but are not limited to, applicable sales taxes and municipal energy taxes. Taxes are determined on a state-by-state basis and may vary based on the applicable jurisdiction and tariff structure. Effective January 1, 2024, the sale of electricity to an EV driver by a charging station operator in Utah will be subject to an additional 12.5% EV tax in accordance with Utah Code 59-30-102.

eV Power is always looking for the best chargers in the industry. At launch, we will be offering Efacec’s DC Fast Chargers.

How will station owners/operators set prices for the stations? Can they define a fixed pricing schedule based on the time or the date?

In the eV power Partner Portal you’ll be able to define a pricing schedule, and the eV power team will be available to help you understand the current market conditions around price.
