1. About the DashSharing Program

How you earn?

You join with a refundable deposit and start earning the moment you plug in. Earnings are paid out in $100 increments.

  • Phase 1 (Refund Milestone):

    You earn $0.03/kWh on all charging (no live tracking in-app). Once you reach 1,500 kWh, your full security deposit is refunded and your $45 accumulated reward is added to your account as a single lump-sum payout and your account moves to Phase 2.

  • Phase 2 (Post-Milestone):

    From 1,500 kWh onward, you earn $0.11/kWh on everything you charge.

Regardless of whether they use the Standard or Ultra charger model. The program is supported by carbon credits generated under Canada's federal Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR).

What is the DashSharing Program?

DashSharing is a connected EV charging ecosystem built to reward drivers. As an approved member, you receive a smart Level 2 charger under a flexible license. You start earning money immediately upon plugging in, and once you hit your 1,500 kWh refund milestone, your full deposit is returned and your rate increases.

2. DashSharing Chargers & Compatibility

What is included with my charger?

Every licensed DashSharing Smart Charger includes:

  • Smart Level 2 charging unit

  • Mounting hardware kit

  • 18-foot charging cable (with J1772 or native NACS connector)

  • Cable holster

  • Access to the DashSharing App for activation and management

What is the difference between the Standard and Ultra Chargers?

The primary difference is their maximum power output:

  • Standard Charger: 40 Amps

  • Ultra Charger: 48 Amps

Note: Your home’s electrical panel must be able to support the charger's maximum output. If needed, DashSharing can adjust the charging rate via the backend to fit your electrical system.

What cable length comes with the charger, and are longer cables available?

Every standard DashSharing charger comes equipped with an 18-foot charging cable, which comfortably covers almost all standard residential parking scenarios (either head-in and back-in parking).

Upcoming Option: We will be adding 25-foot cable options to our stock in late 2026 for tricky or extra-deep parking layouts.

Should I choose an 18-foot or 25-foot cable? Is longer always better?

Longer is not always better. Our general rule of thumb is to buy only the length you actually need for your space. While extra reach can be helpful for unique layouts, extra-long cables carry specific trade-offs:

  • Heat Retention & Safety: Leaving an extra 25 ft cable tightly coiled on your wall bracket during high-amperage charging builds up heat due to reduced airflow and magnetic field inductance. Over time, trapped heat degrades cable insulation faster and creates an unnecessary safety hazard.

  • Handling & Wear: Longer cables are significantly heavier, bulkier to wrap daily, and more prone to being dragged across the floor or accidentally driven over.

Unless your vehicle charge port is positioned unusually far from your charger installation point, our standard 18-foot cable provides the safest, lightest, and most efficient daily charging setup. If you aren't sure which length fits your specific garage or driveway setup, feel free to reach out to our team to review your layout.

What vehicles are compatible?

DashSharing chargers are compatible with all electric vehicles sold in North America. We offer chargers with both standard J1772 connectors and native NACS (Tesla) plugs, allowing consumers to select the right option for their specific vehicle needs:

  • NACS Plug: Designed for modern Tesla models and newer EVs natively equipped with a NACS port, providing a seamless connection without adapters.

  • J1772 Plug (J Plug): Designed for standard non-Tesla EVs. Tesla owners can also use this model with a standard J1772-to-NACS adapter.

Important Note for Legacy Tesla Owners (Pre-2016):

Early legacy Tesla vehicles manufactured prior to 2016 may experience compatibility issues with newer NACS plug specifications due to changes by Tesla. If you own a legacy Tesla from 2016 or earlier, we strongly recommend selecting the J1772 (J Plug) version of the charger and using your official Tesla J1772 adapter to ensure seamless, reliable charging.

Are the chargers weatherproof?

Yes. All DashSharing Smart Chargers carry a NEMA Type 3R rating, making them fully suitable for outdoor installation and capable of withstanding rain, snow, and extreme temperature variations.

However, even with full weatherproofing, we still recommend installing a small protective awning or canopy overhead. An extra shield provides additional protection against prolonged weather exposure and helps keep water, ice, and heavy snow off the charging handle and plug terminal.

3. Setup, Technology & Connectivity

How do I activate and manage my charger?

After your charger is installed in compliance with all local codes and electrical safety requirements (recommend to be installed by a licensed electrician), open the DashSharing app to:

1. Add your home.

2. Sign the Site Access Authorization.

3. Add your charger.

4. Enroll in direct deposit.

Once active, your charger automatically tracks usage and earnings over the network.

What can I monitor remotely in the app?

The DashSharing app let you track:

  • Live charger status

  • Refund milestone tracking progress

  • Delivered energy (kWh) and earnings ($) per session

  • Total lifetime energy (kWh) and earnings ($)

  • Current accrued earnings balance

What are the Wi-Fi requirements?

The charger must maintain a continuous Wi-Fi connection to report usage data and calculate earnings. If Wi-Fi drops, the unit allows a maximum of twenty (20) offline charging sessions before disabling further use until reconnected. Sessions missed or corrupted during offline periods cannot be credited retroactively.

4. Payouts, Fees & Program Policies

How do I withdraw my cash earnings?

  • Minimum Threshold: You can initiate a withdrawal once your accrued earnings reach $100.

  • Payout Method: Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) via direct deposit.

  • Payout Schedule: All withdrawals are processed on the 1st of every month via scheduled bank transfer.

Are there any ongoing or monthly fees?

There are currently no monthly fees. If monthly fees are introduced in the future, DashSharing will provide at least 30 days' advance notice.

What kind of support and warranty coverage is provided?

Active members in good standing receive:

  • Lifetime Warranty: Free replacement of the charger if a warranty claim is approved.

  • Lifetime Technical Support: Available via email at support@dashsharing.ca.

What happens if I move or have multiple homes?

The charger is licensed specifically to your member account and remains the property of DashSharing. Multiple homes are permitted under a single account as long as all addresses are within Canada. To use or transfer your charger to another location, add the new address in the app, submit the required Site Access Authorization, and transfer the charger location within the app.

What happens if my participation is terminated?

Either party can terminate participation at any time. What happens to your charger depends on how much energy you've shared:

  • Before 1,500 kWh: You must return the charger in good condition within 14 calendar days using our provided instructions. Unreturned chargers will incur a replacement fee ($650 for Standard / $750 for Ultra).

  • After 1,500 kWh: You can keep the charger permanently. Paying a non-refundable $50 buyout fee (plus applicable taxes) permanently transfers full ownership of the charger to you.

Do I have to pay taxes on earnings?

Members are responsible for reporting earnings according to local tax rules. DashSharing provides activity and earnings reports through the dashboard for your tax records.
