About the IONITY Receipt
IONITY receipts document high-power EV charging sessions at their pan-European fast-charging network. Each receipt captures session details including energy delivered in kWh, session duration, cost per kWh or flat fee, and the charger location. Drivers commonly need to recreate or retrieve these receipts for business expense reimbursement, fleet reporting, or tax records when the original email or app receipt is lost.
IONITY in Numbers
IONITY was founded in 2017 as a joint venture by BMW Group, Ford, Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen Group, with BP later joining as an investor. Headquartered in Munich, Germany, IONITY operates a growing network of high-power charging stations across Europe, with chargers capable of up to 350 kW per connector.

Using an IONITY Receipt
- IONITY receipts are primarily used for business expense reimbursement or fleet mileage and energy cost reporting.
- Receipts are emailed automatically after each session if you charge via the IONITY app or a linked account; roaming provider receipts may come from that provider instead.
- For VAT reclaim purposes, the receipt must show IONITY's VAT number, the applicable VAT rate, and the country of the charging station.
- If a receipt is missing, log into your IONITY account or contact IONITY support with your session reference number to request a duplicate.
FAQs
How do I get a receipt from an IONITY charging session?
If you paid through the IONITY app or website, a receipt is sent automatically to your registered email after the session ends. If you charged via a roaming partner such as a vehicle manufacturer app or third-party RFID card, the receipt comes from that provider.
What information do I need to recreate an IONITY receipt?
You need the charging station location, session date and time, total kWh delivered, the rate applied, and the total amount charged. Your IONITY account session history or bank statement can supply most of these details.
Can I use an IONITY receipt to reclaim VAT?
Yes. IONITY receipts include the company VAT number, the applicable VAT rate for the country where charging occurred, and a line-level VAT amount, making them valid for business VAT reclaim in most European jurisdictions.
Why does my IONITY receipt show a different company name?
If you used a roaming partner, such as your car brand's charging subscription or a third-party RFID card, the invoice is issued by that provider, not IONITY directly. The underlying session still takes place on IONITY hardware, but billing runs through the partner.
