Charging Right vs metroEV
Two home-charging reward programs for Ontario, side by side. Both pay you for charging your EV at home, funded through Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations credits. Here is how they differ on what they pay, what they ask of you and how they pay out, from each program's own website, checked daily.
EV Perks is an independent comparison site and doesn't run either program. To join one, check your charger's eligibility or ask about a payment, contact Charging Right or metroEV directly.
The short answer
- At 300 kWh a month, Charging Right pays more: about $468 a year against $360, once past any starting tier.
- Over five years, after any charger you would buy from the program and any deposit still held: Charging Right $2,280, metroEV $1,800.
- What you need. Charging Right works with an OCPP smart charger you already own. metroEV needs a specific charger: Level 2 OCPP charger on metroEV's compatible list (EV Duty, Joint EVL007, Wallbox, Lite-On Swtch, Zerova, Siemens, Leviton, Autel), internet-connected.
- Payout. Charging Right: paid annually. metroEV: paid annually.
- Track record. Charging Right: has not paid out yet. metroEV: listed in the community thread without first-hand reports.
- Where. Charging Right is available only in Ontario. metroEV is available across Canada.
Can you join both? Not with the same charger, as a rule: each kWh earns a credit only once, and most programs require the charger to be registered with them alone. More in the FAQ.
