The short answer

Types of Electrify America Charges
Unreviewed registry note: A statement entry listed as ELECTRIFY AMERICA reflects a completed EV Charging Session or account balance reload through the public charging network operated by Electrify America. The company maintains fast-charging infrastructure across nationwide travel corridors, providing high-powered direct-current dispensers to electric vehicle motorists.
Unreviewed registry note: This transaction appears on your statement whenever you initiate a pay-as-you-go charging cycle at an outdoor pedestal or maintain an active digital charging wallet. Motorists who swipe a physical payment card directly at the dispenser often notice a temporary pre-authorization hold (commonly between $20 and $50) while the charger measures electricity delivery. Once charging concludes, the pending hold drops off and settles for the exact cost of kilowatt-hours delivered. Drivers who enroll in the optional Pass+ discount program also see a recurring monthly membership fee of roughly $4.
Authorization Holds
Unreviewed registry note: When you swipe a credit card at the charging pedestal, Electrify America often places a substantial pre-authorization hold (sometimes $50) to ensure the card has funds.
Unreviewed registry note: This hold will drop off and be replaced by the actual cost of the charging session within a few business days.
