Canadians Can Now Earn More Money Back for EV Charging at Home

ChargeLab, a Toronto-based provider of EV charger management software, has increased the rewards available through its ChargeLab Rewards program to 10 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for eligible single-family homeowners in Canada. According to the company, this makes it the highest-paying carbon credit program currently available for Canadian homeowners.

The new payout rate is effective immediately. ChargeLab said participants can begin earning rewards right away, with no payout tiers, minimum earning thresholds, or waiting periods. Rewards are distributed on a quarterly basis.

Based on the company’s average annual home charging volume of more than 3,500 kWh, a typical participant could earn over CA$350 per year.

The program is partially funded through Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR). ChargeLab generates carbon credits under the federal program and reinvests the proceeds into expanding EV charging infrastructure across the country. The company noted that while ChargeLab Rewards operates within the CFR framework, it is not run by or officially affiliated with the Canadian government.

Homeowners generally do not need to purchase new equipment to participate. The program supports existing OCPP-compatible home chargers from manufacturers including Autel, Leviton, Siemens, and Wallbox.

In addition to earning rewards for home charging, users of the ChargeLab app can access several public charging networks across Canada without roaming fees, including SureCharge, Filgo, Nova Scotia Power, and the Ivy Charging Network.

The enhanced rewards are currently available to eligible single-family homeowners, while ChargeLab also offers similar incentive programs for multifamily residential properties and commercial businesses.

EV Leaders Based in Canada

Here are three of Canada’s top leaders in the EV space, that EVinfo.net has had the honor of working with.

Clockwork Energy is focused squarely on one of the biggest pain points in the EV transition, charger reliability. Rather than competing with existing charging hardware or backend platforms, Clockwork operates as a software reliability layer that sits on top of current systems. It integrates with chargers, networks, communications equipment, and monitoring tools to give operators a clear, real-time view of how their infrastructure is performing. By continuously monitoring charger behavior, detecting anomalies early, and automating diagnostics, Clockwork helps prevent outages before drivers ever experience them. The goal is simple but critical: make EV charging work the first time, every time.

BluWave-ai addresses a different, but equally important, layer of the electrification challenge. Based in Canada, the company applies artificial intelligence and real-time analytics to optimize how electricity is generated, stored, and consumed. As renewable energy and electric vehicles add variability to the grid, BluWave-ai’s technology helps utilities, grid operators, and fleet managers balance supply and demand more efficiently. Its AI models process vast amounts of data, including energy prices, weather patterns, and load behavior, to make smarter decisions in real time.

Montreal, Quebec-based Relion was created when Benoit Lacroix partnered with Jesse White to address one of the EV industry’s most persistent challenges: reliable charging infrastructure. Together, they have assembled a team of driven professionals focused on solving the operational complexity of EV charging through collaboration, accountability, and a strong commitment to customer success. Today, Relion provides operations and maintenance (O&M) solutions that blend advanced technology, strategic partnerships, and deep technical expertise, all guided by a user-centered approach designed to maximize uptime, performance, and long-term value for charging operators.
