News Summary

SWTCH Energy has introduced a new Home Charging Program for Canadian single-family homeowners, offering a free Level 2 EV charger. The program allows participants to earn cash back for electricity used in charging their electric vehicles at home. Homeowners can earn 3 cents per kilowatt-hour, potentially receiving between $100 to $150 annually. A $300 deposit is required for the charger, refundable after 1,500 kWh of usage, typically achievable in three to five months. This initiative, supported by the Canadian government’s Clean Fuels Regulation Carbon Credit program, aims to boost electric vehicle adoption. Partners include Plug’n Drive, a not-for-profit focused on increasing EV adoption in Canada. Eligible utility incentives further reduce installation costs.
