Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: The line item ELECTRIFY AMERICA* EV on your credit card or bank account represents an Electrify America EV Fast Charging / Wallet Reload handled by Electrify America LLC. As one of the largest open DC fast-charging networks in North America, the company supplies high-voltage electric vehicle charging stations along interstate transit corridors and commercial retail plazas.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge typically posts under two distinct mechanisms. When you plug in at a public charging pedestal, the mobile app uses an auto-reload digital wallet that debits a set amount (often $10 or $20) from your linked card whenever your account balance drops below a set threshold. Alternatively, drivers who enroll in the Pass+ membership program pay a recurring monthly subscription fee of roughly $4 to access discounted kilowatt-hour energy rates. Similar to other electric mobility networks like Tesla Supercharger or EVgo, charges can also include idle fees if a vehicle remains connected after the charging session finishes.
Common reasons for this charge
- Unreviewed registry note: You charged an electric vehicle at an Electrify America DC fast charging dispenser.
- Unreviewed registry note: An automatic $20 account wallet replenishment was triggered when your in-app balance dropped below $5.
- Unreviewed registry note: A monthly Electrify America Pass+ subscription ($4-$7/mo for discounted rates) renewed.
