Frequently asked questions

Which EV charging rewards program pays the most in Canada?

Published rates range from 3¢ to about 21¢ per kWh depending on program and tier. Telemiq tops out at 21.75 pts/kWh (21.75¢/kWh value) at the highest annual tier with referral multiplier, with no charger purchase required. Flat-rate programs like ChargeLab (10¢/kWh) are simpler but cap your ceiling and require specific smart-charger hardware.

Do I need to buy a specific EV charger to earn rewards?

Not with Telemiq — rewards are verified from your vehicle's own charging data (Tesla Fleet API and OEM connect APIs), so any charger works, including a standard 120V wall outlet. Most other Canadian programs pay only for kWh metered by their own or approved smart chargers, which means a $300–900 hardware purchase or deposit.

Is Telemiq available outside Ontario?

Yes — Telemiq Rewards is Canada-wide, with province pages for Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta. Any Canadian resident with a supported EV can join.

How do EV charging rewards make money?

Under Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), verified residential EV charging generates compliance credits that fuel suppliers must buy. Charging network operators like Telemiq aggregate verified charging data, monetize the credits, and share revenue with drivers.
