Smart Fuel Pass connects charging services across countries, while Ultima Payments maintains the payment-account and settlement layer. The owner or operator of a charging station still determines the tariff for its own location.
How a charging session is settled
The driver uses a Smart Fuel Pass payment account or an ad-hoc payment. The selected amount is reserved, the charging data is received and the tariff set by the charging-station owner or operator is calculated. Ultima Payments settles the final amount and releases any unused reservation. The charging-station owner or operator receives the payment for a properly completed session.
Why documents can be separate by country
Charging is supplied in the country of the charging location. Smart Fuel Pass therefore issues charging documents through the relevant country company and applies the VAT rules for that supply. A customer who charges in Slovakia and Austria can receive separate consolidated charging invoices for Slovakia and Austria.
Invoices and statements
Consolidated charging invoices are issued twice per month: charging from the 1st to the 15th is invoiced on the 16th; charging from the 16th to the end of the month is invoiced on the 1st of the following month. A top-up is a movement on the payment account, not a charging invoice. Use the account statement for account movements and the charging invoice for charging services.
The exact legal entity, VAT treatment and documents depend on the charging country and the applicable contract. The invoice issued for the session is the authoritative document.
