The only thing is that I do not think you need this {0.15 USD} notation,
as such notation is used for tracking things at cost and is needed for

You could have used the *@ 0.15 USD* notation, but even this is redundant,
as you already have a price entry
So, just like that
*2024-01-24 * "Car electricity usage" Expenses:Utilities:Electric
Expenses:Car:Energy 10 KWH *
