- ChargeLab raised its ChargeLab Rewards payout to 10 cents per kWh for enrolled Canadian single-family homeowners, effective immediately, with no tiers, minimums, or waiting periods and quarterly disbursements.
- ChargeLab says the new rate makes Rewards the highest-paying carbon-credit program of its kind for Canadian homeowners, based on average home charging above 3,500 kWh a year yielding more than CA$350 annually per participant.
- The program is funded in part through Canada's federal Clean Fuel Regulations; ChargeLab earns carbon credits under that framework and reinvests revenue into EV charging infrastructure, while clarifying it is not operated by or officially partnered with the Canadian government.
- Enrolled drivers can keep their existing hardware, as Rewards works with OCPP-compatible home chargers from Autel, Leviton, Siemens, and Wallbox, and the ChargeLab app also provides roaming-free access to SureCharge, Filgo, Nova Scotia Power, and the Ivy Charging Network.
- ChargeLab offers parallel versions of the rewards program for multifamily properties and businesses alongside the updated single-family homeowner rate.
Why it matters: Canadian EV owners with compatible home chargers can now pocket roughly CA$350 a year just for plugging in at home, turning routine overnight charging into a carbon-credit rebate that the company funds through federal Clean Fuel Regulations rather than charging the driver a subscription.
