The CSV file can be opened from any spreadsheet application, or uploaded to Google Docs for easy reading. You can also open it as a simple text file.

For each charging session, we give the following information:

Session ID: the unique ID for that session in the ev.energy database
Car ID: the unique ID for that car in the ev.energy database
Car Description: the car make and model associated with your account
Session Start Time: the start time for the charging session, typically form when you plug in.
Session Finish Time: the end time for the charging session - either when you unplug, stop a boost charge, or have fully charged the car
Estimated Energy Delivered: how much energy was delivered to the vehicle, in kWh.
- If we speak to your charger, we track the kWh estimation using your charger's meter.
- If we speak to your car directly, we get this info straight from your EV.
Average Cost per kWh: the cost per kWh, averaged over the whole session. See here for how we calculate average cost.
Cost: the total cost for the entire charging session
Location: can be
- Home - if the charge was performed on your home charger, or if we detected that your car was at your home location during the session, or
- Away: if your car was detected at another location that wasn't your home.

Away from home charging sessions might not show a cost - read here for more explanation.

All dates and times are recorded in your local timezone. To change your timezone, visit the Account > Personal details section of the app.

Sessions that start on the last day of the month and continue into the first day of a new month will appear on next month's report.
