Rate details
From Oct 1 2026, five annual volume tiers on each calendar year's verified home kWh, paid marginally: 5 points/kWh to 3,000 kWh, 7 to 6,000, 9.5 to 12,000, 12 to 18,000, then 14.5. 100 points = $1, so points = cents. A referral multiplier (up to 1.5x, from referrals made that year) applies on top, for at most 21.75 cents/kWh; it is not included in the estimates. kWh charged before Oct 1 counts toward 2026's tier.
5¢ to start → 7¢ after 3,000 kWh → 9.5¢ after 6,000 kWh → 12¢ after 12,000 kWh → 14.5¢ after 18,000 kWh (restarts every calendar year)
From the program's site (checked 2026-11-13)
“Telemiq rewards Tesla owners across Canada — 5 pts/kWh on every verified home charging session (up to 21.75 pts/kWh with annual tiers from Oct 1, 2026). The rate is national; your local context determines how much you earn.”

Caveats
- Tesla owners and lessees only: eligibility comes from the car, not the charger.
- The tier ladder restarts every January 1, so at typical home charging (about 3,600 kWh a year) most kWh earn the 5- and 7-point tiers; the 14.5 top tier needs over 18,000 kWh in one year.
- The tiered rates are on Telemiq's home page and FAQ; its terms (last updated June 22 2026) still describe a flat 5 points/kWh.
- Points earned in a year stay pending until the carbon-credit audit in Q1 of the next year; only then can they be redeemed.
- Requires linking your Tesla account and a telemetry virtual key, and a Canadian bank account that accepts Interac e-Transfer.
