Charging Costs & Fees

Check your local charging rate in the app anytime. Simply tap the map pin to see the per kWh charging rate and fees for that specific station.
 

Free energy at Ahold sites

  • Chargers at Ahold locations exclusively offer 2 kWh free daily.
  • JOLT does not offer free energy across the wider USA network at this time. 

 

1. Pre-Authorization / Temporary Hold

  • When you start a charging session, a temporary hold is placed on your card to confirm it's valid — similar to filling up at the pump or checking into a hotel.
  • This is not a charge. Once your session ends, you're only billed for the energy you used, and the hold is released by your bank (usually within a few business days).

     

2. Charging Rates

  • A flat fee applies to connect your vehicle at some chargers in some states.

  • The local charging rate varies by location and charger speed (L2/L3). 
     

3. Idle Fees

To ensure chargers are available for everyone, an Idle Fee applies if your car remains connected after it has finished charging. See app for details. 

  • When does it start? The fee begins accruing 10 mins after your charging session ends (e.g. your battery reaches 100% or the session is stopped). 

  • How to avoid it: Please enable Push Notifications in the JOLT app. We will send you an alert when your charge is complete so you can move your vehicle immediately.
     

4. Minimum Price

A minimum fee of $0.50 applies to any paid session.

 

5. Parking Limits and Fees

Please obey all local parking signs. Parking fees, time limits, and fines are controlled by the local council/site host, not JOLT. Any parking fees or fines are the responsibility of the driver.
