Grizzl-E Club: get paid 3–15¢ per kWh to charge your EV at home

Rate details

Baseline 3 cents/kWh with a free (Essentials) charger; +1 cent per 5,000 kWh cumulative up to 10 cents at 35,000 kWh. Buying a Premium charger starts you at Level 3 (5 cents) and restarts the ladder there: 6 cents after 5,000 kWh, up to 10 cents at 25,000 kWh, plus the 5-cent Thanksgiving bonus until Sep 30 2027. Level never resets.

3¢ to start → 4¢ after 5,000 kWh → 5¢ after 10,000 kWh → 6¢ after 15,000 kWh → 7¢ after 20,000 kWh → 8¢ after 25,000 kWh → 9¢ after 30,000 kWh → 10¢ after 35,000 kWh

promo Thanksgiving Bonus: an extra 5 cents/kWh on home charging with a purchased (Premium) Grizzl-E, for sessions between Oct 1 2026 and Sep 30 2027. It only vests on Sep 30 2027, and only if you are still a member then - leave earlier and none of it is paid.

Caveats

• Terms: the charger always remains United Chargers' property. If you convert a charger you already bought, its ownership transfers permanently to United Chargers on acceptance, and it must be returned if your membership ends. (The club FAQ says the opposite - that a converted unit reverts to you if you cancel; the terms govern.)
• Terms: no membership fees "for as long as the Clean Fuel Regulations remain in effect"; 30 days' notice if fees are introduced.
• Terms: active use means 4-6 charging sessions a month as your primary charger; orders are final once checkout completes, and shipping both ways is on you.
• Grizzl-E charges a $600 OCPP unlock fee, which effectively blocks moving the charger to ChargeLab/Chargy later.
• Requires an existing NEMA 14-50R receptacle or professional installation.
• Terms s. 6.2: the Thanksgiving bonus is only an estimate on your dashboard until it vests on Sep 30 2027, and it vests only if you are still an enrolled member that day; cancel or be terminated before then and none of it is paid. Only purchased (Premium) chargers at a home qualify - a free Essentials charger never does - and a session must start and finish inside the campaign.
• Terms s. 6.3 (Essential Charger Buy-Out, from the last week of September 2026): an Essentials member can buy the charger they already have at a price set per member from MSRP, paid in full - Club rewards cannot be applied. It becomes Premium (raised to Level 3 if lower, eligible for the Thanksgiving bonus) but stays on Club firmware for good: no OCPP unlock, ever. Warranty still runs from the original activation date.
• Terms s. 9 (Trade-In Program, in the terms effective Nov 9 2026): new members only - existing members do not qualify. Trade in a used Grizzl-E Classic or Smart, or another brand's working single-output Level 2 charger (208-240 V, 32 A or more, NEMA 6-50, NEMA 14-50 or hardwired) that you were actually using at home, for a free Ultimate 48A, Classic Connect 40A or Mini Connect 40A, and get Premium rewards of up to 15¢/kWh including the 5¢ Thanksgiving bonus. The $100 deposit comes back after the first session, but Premium status only after the old charger is shipped on their prepaid label within 30 days, inspected and approved; accepted chargers become United Chargers' property and are not returned. New or unused chargers are rejected.
• Terms s. 10 (Québec Overnight Program, optional, from Jan 1 2027 as a one-year pilot): for chargers installed in Quebec only. Opting in locks every Quebec charger on your account to a fixed 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. schedule: energy delivered in that window earns your full rate plus 3¢/kWh, but anything outside it earns only half your base rate (3¢ becomes 6¢ overnight and 1.5¢ otherwise; 10¢ becomes 13¢ and 5¢). The Thanksgiving and referral bonuses are not halved, so the advertised maximum is 18¢/kWh. Enrol by Dec 31 2026 and stay in through Apr 30 2027 for a one-time $30 loyalty bonus, credited May 1 2027. Leaving only takes effect on the first of the following month.
