About the Osprey Charging Receipt
Osprey Charging is a UK-based public EV charging network. Its receipts document charging sessions at rapid and ultra-rapid charge points across the UK, showing energy delivered (kWh), session duration, cost per kWh, and total charged to a payment card or account. Drivers typically need these receipts to claim mileage reimbursement from employers or to log business travel expenses.

- For business expense claims, the receipt must show the VAT breakdown and charge point address to satisfy HMRC requirements.
FAQs
How do I get a receipt from an Osprey Charging session?
If you used the Osprey app or a registered account, a receipt is sent to your registered email after the session ends. For contactless card payments without an account, contact Osprey customer support with the date, location, and last four digits of your card.
What information do I need to recreate or replace a lost Osprey Charging receipt?
You need the session date and time, charge point location, Session ID (visible in the app or on your bank statement reference), energy delivered in kWh, and the total amount charged. The ReceiptEdit template lets you enter these fields to produce a properly formatted replacement.
Can I use an Osprey Charging receipt for employer mileage or EV reimbursement claims?
Yes. Most UK employers accept EV charging receipts showing kWh delivered, session cost, and location. Include the receipt alongside your mileage log. Some employers use kWh figures to calculate a per-mile rate rather than a flat mileage rate.
Does an Osprey Charging receipt show VAT separately?
Yes. Osprey Charging is VAT-registered, so receipts issued to account holders or via the app show the VAT amount and Osprey's VAT number, which is required for businesses reclaiming input VAT on charging costs.
