If you recently brought home an electric vehicle, or if you have been relying on a standard 120V Level 1 wall outlet, you already know that upgrading to a Level 2 home charger is the best way to get fast, reliable overnight charging.

However, paying $700 to over $1,000 upfront for a premium smart charger can feel like a steep barrier.

What if you could get a high-performance Level 2 EV charger with zero net equipment cost, fully refunded, while generating ongoing cash returns every time you plug in?

Through the DashSharing Hardware Program, Canadian drivers can secure a top-tier smart Level 2 wall box on a fully refundable deposit structure. Furthermore, if you already own an older or non-networked Level 2 charger, upgrading to a telemetry-enabled smart unit lets you unlock carbon compliance cash that your current setup is leaving on the table.

Already Have a Level 2 Charger? Why It Might Be Missing Out on Cash

Many Canadian EV owners already have a basic Level 2 charger installed. While these traditional chargers deliver 240V power to your battery, most legacy or non-networked units cannot generate carbon credits. 

Under Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), fuel suppliers pay for carbon reductions created by EV charging, but federal compliance rules require utility-grade energy metering and secure, automated Wi-Fi telemetry. Without smart telemetry, your current charger cannot report verified energy data to the government, leaving hundreds of dollars in carbon credit payouts behind every year. 

A Seamless Upgrade Path

Replacing an existing charger does not mean wasting your current installation work:

• Plug-and-Play Swap: If your current charger plugs into a NEMA 14-50 outlet, swapping to a smart DashCharger Standard (40A) takes less than 2 minutes, simply unmount the old unit, plug in the DashCharger, and connect to Wi-Fi.

• Reusing Existing Wiring: If your charger is hardwired, an electrician can swap the wall unit onto your existing 240V circuit in under an hour without running new conduit or panels.

• Repurpose or Resell: Your legacy charger can be moved to a secondary location (like a cottage) or sold second-hand, while your main home parking space becomes a revenue-generating asset.

How the Refundable Hardware Program Works

Instead of buying equipment outright, you place a refundable deposit for your smart Level 2 charger. As you charge your EV at home, the energy delivered generates carbon compliance value under Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR). 

Once your charger records 1,500 kWh dispensed (roughly 8,000 to 9,000 km of driving), 100% of your deposit is refunded directly to your account. Your hardware becomes completely free, and you continue earning passive income for every kilowatt-hour charged thereafter. 

Choosing Your Model: Standard (40A) vs. Ultra (48A)

Both DashCharger models feature built-in utility-grade metering, NEMA 4X weatherproofing, and native integration with the DashSharing aggregation network.

Earning Mechanics: From Free Hardware to Net Income

Once your 1,500 kWh milestone is reached and your $450 or $599 deposit is refunded, your charger transitions into a pure revenue generator. 

Every kilowatt-hour you charge continues to earn a flat rate of $0.11/kWh through our federal CFR aggregation pool. 

Real-World Earnings Example (Ontario ULO Rate @ 3.9¢/kWh)

Driving 20,000 km per year consumes roughly ~3,600 kWh of electricity:

• Electricity Cost to Charge: $140.40 / year (at 3.9¢ Ultra-Low Overnight)

• DashSharing CFR Cash Payout: $360.00 / year (at $0.11/kWh) 

• Net Annual Profit: +$219.60 back in your pocket

After your deposit is returned, the program actively pays you more than the electricity costs to run it.
