Soneil Spark vs SWTCH
Two home-charging reward programs, 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 Soneil Spark or SWTCH directly.

- What you need. Soneil Spark supplies the charger against a $299 refundable deposit. SWTCH supplies the charger against a $300 refundable deposit.

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.
