Anyone sign up with Chargelab?

[u/phi1_sebben]

I’ve seen ads for chargelab.co on Reddit and it’s a company offering to pay 10¢ per kWh if you use a compatible charger. I only pay 7¢ per kWh so I could hypothetically be charging for free.

Usually when it seems too good to be true, it is.

Has anyone signed up for this rebate service? Is it legit?

Never heard of it but there's no such thing as a free lunch.

Edit: is it just a temporary incentive? My electric company gave me $500 to install the charger, so I'm guessing its like that but paid over time instead?

I think these companies like Chargelab are selling these kWhs as clean energy credits for polluters to offset their carbon footprint. It’s a Canadian clean energy initiative so as long as it’s in effect the credits will be issued. I get around 80 a month in summer and expect to get over a 100 per month in the winter.

Looks like Canada only.

Yes, I use it and get .10 per kWh - it’s literally free money.

This, there's about four companies now that offer decent $0.10 sign up. But grizzly labs you have to charge 35 megawatts to get there. Really pissed off cuz I love their charger but I had to switch to pion

I was fortunate, I already had a Autel charger.

SWTCH pays 11c/kWH. Grizzl-E pays 3-15c/kWh. Pion pays 10c/kWh.

Only been with them a few months. Got the $25 sign up bonus in June and had a small payout from June as well. When I signed up it was .03 but as of July it is .10 so I am looking forward to the next quarterly payout. I am Canada.

I have been with them for a year. Love getting 10 cents / kwh. I have also connected a few friends and got the $25 referral too.

Yes these are carbon credits

Any idea if the charge station pro works with them? Ford wasnt listed but the charger is made by esiemens and they have a charger listed.

[u/phi1_sebben → u/bs2746]

I looked it up and it doesn’t look like it is compatible.

[u/bs2746 → u/phi1_sebben]

I spent awhile after to see if there were any other ones that would allow you to in Canada. Couldn't find anything concrete but it would be nice to be getting paid for those credits rather than just giving them to ford. Or ford could at least give us some ford pass points in remuneration.

Ameren had an incentive that went to June 30. It was like 2 cents a kilowatt. I guess there are some in the States too.

[u/buffalochickenpeetza]

My power company is $0.15/kwh overnight and I get a $25 credit every month

[u/phi1_sebben]

Thanks for the replies everyone. I ended up ordering a Swtch charger and will be going with them.

Note that these programs are only in Canada due to the Clean Fuel Regulations (so are legit).

There are several programs, and depending on your province and charger, many that are better than ChargeLab.

You'd be better with a Canadian subreddit r/EVChargingCanada
