The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

But it also increases state of alertness. So while it's reducing fatigue, it's also pushing on neuro chemical systems in order to directly increase our alertness. And it does that in large part by increasing the transmission of epinephrine, adrenaline, in the brain and body.
So we have exercise and we have caffeine as potent tools for increasing epinephrine and thereby, energy.
Caffeine increases alertness by increasing epinephrine, adrenaline release both in the brain and within the body.
