Every charging invoice from Cariqa provides a clear breakdown of the total cost: the energy consumed, and any additional fees applied by the charging station operator. This guide explains how to read each section of your invoice and understand what you were charged for.
1. Total cost overview
In the first section of the invoice, you will see the total amount due. This includes:
Energy cost — based on the kWh consumed
Blocking fees (if applicable) — charged per unit of time according to the operator’s policy
Session fee (if applicable) — operator-defined fee for starting a charging session
VAT — shown transparently
Subtotal & total amount due
2. Charging session details
At the bottom of the invoice, you will find the technical breakdown of your charging session. This section includes:
Session timing
Start time
End time
Total duration
Consumed energy
The exact kWh used during the session
Tariff details
Shows the energy tariff (€/kWh) used for the calculation. If blocking fees apply, you will also see:
the blocking fee amount per unit of time
the time period during which the blocking fee applied
the delay or start condition (e.g., “after 0 minutes,” or “after 60 minutes”)
This makes it easy to understand not just how much you were charged, but also why.
Here is an example:
3. Where these details come from
All prices — including energy cost, blocking fees, and any operator-defined fees — are set by the charging station operator, not by Cariqa. Cariqa displays these prices transparently and does not add any markups.
