ChargeLab Home Charging Rewards: get paid 10¢ per kWh to charge your EV at home

Rate details

10 cents/kWh since July 1 2026. On top of that, fixed-dollar bonuses (not counted in the rate): a $100 annual loyalty bonus if the charger is enrolled by Nov 1 and stays connected through Mar 31 of the following year, and from 2027 $50 for each half-year (Jan-Jun, Jul-Dec) with 2,000 kWh or more. ChargeLab says that is $200/yr for the average driver.

From the program's site (checked 2026-11-13)

“Earn $0.10 per kWh every time you charge at home + another $200 in bonuses annually”

“Once you have successfully registered your charger onto the ChargeLab app and completed a successful charging session, ChargeLab will send a email confirming your connection. You'll earn 10¢ per kWh when you charge at home, and you’ll receive your rewards gift cards on a quarterly basis sent to the email address you used to register with. As long as you maintain your connection to the ChargeLab network, you will continue to receive quarterly rewards. ChargeLab uses a system called Tango to send gift cards. It allows you to select from dozens of options, including Amazon, DoorDash, Starbucks and Walmart”

Caveats

• Terms: single-family residences only; one ChargeLab account per charger; OCPP 1.6 or newer; charger must stay connected (disconnected periods forfeit rewards).
• Terms: you grant ChargeLab the exclusive right to the charger's carbon credits - no other program may claim the same charger while enrolled.
• Terms: quarterly gift cards with a $5 minimum per quarter; 30 days' notice before the program is ended, with a final payout of accrued rewards.
• Grizzl-E Smart can be registered directly (ChargeLab's FAQ lists it with the other OCPP chargers); a Grizzl-E Club charger (Connect, Mini, Ultimate) needs Grizzl-E's $600 OCPP unlock first.
• Bonuses (from Oct 2026): $100 once a year if your charger is enrolled by November 1 and stays connected through March 31; from 2027, $50 per half-year with 2,000+ kWh charged (Jan-Jun and Jul-Dec, up to $100). 2,000 kWh per half is exactly the 4,000 kWh/yr ChargeLab assumes for an average driver, so anyone charging less (or unevenly) misses some of the half-year bonus.
