Caveats

  • Terms: $0.10/kWh paid monthly by EFT or e-Transfer; no compensation for any month under 100 kWh.
  • Terms: single-family residential property in Canada; OCPP 1.6 or newer; you grant Chargy exclusive rights to the charger's credits.
  • Terms: if Chargy cannot generate or monetize the credits, it may demand repayment of compensation paid in the preceding 24 months - an unusual clause worth reading before joining.
  • Terms: either party can end participation at any time; 30 days' notice for rate or eligibility changes.
  • Not eligible: Tesla, ChargePoint, FLO, Pion chargers.
