Caveats
- British Columbia only, single-family homes; shared driveways and communal parking go through the separate strata/commercial program.
- The 10 cents only starts once the charger has delivered 1,500 kWh and the deposit has been returned.
- If you sell the house the agreement can transfer to the buyer, or EcoCharge collects the charger and returns an unrefunded deposit within 30 days.
