HoneyBadger vs Hypercharge
Two home-charging reward programs for British Columbia, 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.
The short answer
- At 300 kWh a month, Hypercharge pays more: about $396 a year against $144, once past any starting tier.
- Over five years, after any charger you would buy from the program and any deposit still held: HoneyBadger $720, Hypercharge $1,860.
- What you need. HoneyBadger supplies the charger, with no deposit. Hypercharge supplies the charger against a $299 refundable deposit.
- Payout. HoneyBadger: paid quarterly. Hypercharge: payout not documented.
- Where. HoneyBadger is available only in British Columbia. Hypercharge 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.
