As a journalist, I love a challenge. But I didn’t expect one to come from something as basic as trying to get a receipt after charging my electric car.
Last Thursday, I embarked on a 220-mile round trip. I stopped at three different public chargers: a supermarket rapid, a motorway ultra-fast, and a city centre slow charger. Here’s what happened when I tried to claim receipts for work expenses.
Stop One: The Supermarket Rapid Charger
🧾 Me: “Where’s the receipt button?” 💬 Charger screen: *System Error. Try Again Later.*
I checked their app. No download option. Customer support promised to email one “within 14 days.”
Stop Two: The Motorway Ultra-Fast
🧾 This network didn’t even offer receipts at the charger. Their app showed my session but with no option to download or send an email. After 20 minutes on hold, support sent a screenshot of my charge session. Hardly HMRC-friendly.
Stop Three: The City Centre Slow Charger
🧾 The charger had a printer—but it was out of paper. The app? No receipts, no record, no help. My expense report was looking increasingly empty.
The Problem
In 2025, EV charging receipts should be simple. But across multiple networks, I encountered:
- ❌ No in-app receipt downloads
- ❌ No email receipts
- ❌ Broken or non-existent printer functions
- ❌ Customer support delays of up to two weeks
For fleet drivers, freelancers, or anyone who tracks expenses, this isn’t just annoying—it’s unworkable.
The ONEEV Fix
Then I tried ONEEV. Here’s the difference:
- ✅ Instant digital receipt sent to your email after every session
- ✅ Full history of past sessions in-app, ready for download anytime
- ✅ HMRC-compliant format for expense reports
- ✅ Works across multiple networks—one app, one account
No calls, no screenshots, no waiting. By the time my next charge was done, the receipt was sitting in my inbox. Exactly how it should be.
The Final Word
EV charging shouldn’t feel like an admin nightmare. ONEEV takes the frustration out of receipts so you can focus on the drive—not the paperwork.
