By leveraging the federal Clean Fuels Regulation (CFR) Carbon Credit program, the initiative rewards homeowners for using clean, low-carbon electricity to charge their vehicles\u2014turning everyday home charging into measurable environmental benefit.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccess to convenient and affordable home charging is one of the biggest accelerators of EV adoption,\u201d said Cara Clairman, President and CEO of Plug\u2019n Drive. \u201cSWTCH\u2019s program is a great example of how innovative approaches can help Canadian homeowners reduce barriers and lower the cost of installing home charging. By supporting EV charging programs, Plug\u2019n Drive is helping more drivers make the switch to electric with confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through the program, participants receive a free Level 2 charger and can earn 3 cents per kilowatt-hour of home charging\u2014estimated to be about $100 to $150 annually for the average EV driver. The chargers are also eligible for additional utility incentives, such as BC Hydro and Roulez Vert rebates, helping to further reduce installation costs when working with a licensed electrical contractor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSWTCH is doing our part to make the switch to electric easier and more rewarding for Canadians,\u201d said Carter Li, CEO of SWTCH. \u201cBy building the infrastructure and business model to turn home charging into carbon credits, we\u2019re giving homeowners a way to earn money while helping accelerate EV adoption nationwide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Homeowners who own or plan to purchase an EV can participate by:<\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sign up and order a free Level 2 charger through the SWTCH Home Charging Program store.<\/li>\n<li>Have the charger installed at their home.<\/li>\n<li>Use the SWTCH Home Charging Programapp to connect the charger to their home WiFi and the SWTCH network, activating their earning profile.<\/li>\n<li>Begin earning cash back for every kWh charged. Once an account has accumulated $100, participants will receive that amount as a direct deposit into their bank account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The program is free to join\u2014with no monthly or annual fees\u2014for single-family homeowners who currently own an EV or are planning to purchase one in Canada.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the SWTCH Home Charging Program and other EV Charging Programs, visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plugndrive.ca\/ev-home-charging-programs\/\">https:\/\/www.plugndrive.ca\/ev-home-charging-programs\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Plug\u2019n Drive<\/h3>\n<p>Plug\u2019n Drive is a not-for-profit organization accelerating EV adoption in Canada to maximize the environmental and economic benefits of an electrified transportation sector.
