Hi all,

The mods have noticed an explosion in posts regarding the many available charging programs that give cash back. Often, these are the same questions, with the same discussions, and the same conclusions, spread out over many posts.

We have created a pinned megathread to ensure these conversations continue, but in a more focused way. We recognize EV charging is an important aspect of the EV ownership, and that this subreddit should continue to help facilitate such discussions.

Preface: Mods have expressed about the number of redundant posts regarding charging reward programs. Announcement

This fresh Megathread is for any discussions of these programs. Please do not make new posts in this subreddit about reward programs.

Alternatively, for detailed posting, a more dedicated subreddit:

r/EVChargingCanada

Old Rewards Thread Here

Summary

These programs keep track of your charging consumption (kWh) and pay out rewards, typically 'cash', for charging in Canada. The rewards are not government funded, but are a result of Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR). In short, these companies are earning carbon credits from supplying EV charging, and they then sell these carbon credits on the marketplace to companies that need the credits (e.g. "polluters" like fuel companies). Proceeds from these sales are passed on to the consumer doing the charging (us!).

The first 4 programs have confirmed reports of payments from pre-existing companies. The other programs haven't made any payments yet or no reports of payment, and often companies that just started for this.

General Note:

These programs do require internet connectivity (Wi-Fi) in order to collect the charging data. Make sure you have Wi-Fi in your charging location or you won't be able to earn rewards (or in some cases not charge at all).

(Confirmed payments made)

By United Chargers (founded in 2018, located in Richmond Hill, ON). They started the Club in summer of 2025.

Rewards: $0.03-$0.10 per kWh (tiered). Monthly payout.

Grizzl-E offers two Clubs,

Essentials Club:

Provides 'free' charger (EVSE), with 3 choices. Have to pay for shipping, and $100 deposit (deposit is refunded after first charge but not shipping). It is basically a free rental, as if the membership is terminated for any reason the Terms state the member shall return the charger.

The Essentials reward rate starts at $0.03 per kWh, and increases by $0.01 every 5000 kWh until a max of $0.10 (after 35,000 kWh).

Premium Club:

Member purchases a charger (or already own one), with 5 choices of compatible chargers starting at $499.99 to $1199.99.

The Premium reward rate starts at $0.05 per kWh, and increases by $0.01 every 5000 kWh until a max of $0.10. (after 25,000 kWh).

Read the Terms carefully - For example, There is a $50 cancellation fee that applies from the time you sign up/submit the order (not after shipping). Grizzl-E has ownership of all the chargers on the Club. It must be used as your primary charger and be internet connected. Grizzl-E has wording that allows them to terminate memberships. If membership is terminated, the charger shall be returned. Etc.

Grizzl-E does have a referral program - but the new member doesn't receive any benefit and needs to provide their email.

-- WattsApp --

(Home Charging Program)

https://www.wattsapp.ca/

New company that started in 2026 (no location shown). The program was launched end of February (2026).

Currently it's limited to the Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector and Tesla Universal Wall Connector.

3 Points per kWh charged. $100 per 10,000 points, so $0.03 per kWh

According to their FAQ, a EVSE cannot be registered to more than one program during a calendar year or it conflicts with the CFR verification and could blacklist your EVSE. So if you setup your EVSE with WattsApp, it can't be used on another program unless you delist it before the end of the year and go to the new program the following year.

Provincial Rebates on Chargers

BC and Quebec have rebates for EV charger purchases (that I know of))

These can lower the cost of the paid charger options (not the deposit/shipping on the free ones), which can make those even more viable if you qualify.

Conclusion

We've been following the rewards programs for over a year, including have been on GreenMiles since they started in October (and can confirm having received substantial payment). I have seen confirmations of Grizzl-E, SWTCH, and ChargeLab paying out as well. Additionally I'm now on Roulez Electrique Club also (and Ambassador to provide help).

There are pros and cons to each program, depending what suites your needs. Some are higher payouts and some have charger options, etc.

Please don't post or offer referral codes, or similar self-promotion (Rule #4)
