Carbon Credits vs. Charger Sharing: Which Pays More?
You keep your Carbon Credit earnings for your personal charging. WattShare unlocks high-margin revenue from the hours your charger sits idle — both streams run in parallel.
| Feature | Carbon Credit Rewards (e.g. other EV apps) | Charger Sharing (WattShare) |
|---|---|---|
| What is it? | A rebate for electricity you use to charge your own car | A fee paid by other drivers who use your charger |
| Typical Rate | $0.03 – $0.05 / kWh | $0.25 – $0.50 / kWh |
| Annual Potential | $100 – $200 / year | $500 – $1,500+ / year |
| Result | Offsets your electricity bill | Generates real monthly income |

Why Sharing Your EV Charger in Toronto Makes Sense
Toronto and the GTA are facing a “charging gap” — more EVs on the road than public plugs can handle. Your home charger is part of the solution.
Help Your Community
Support Toronto apartment dwellers and 'garage-orphans' who can't charge at home. Your driveway becomes a neighbourhood charging hub.
Offset Installation Costs
Most Toronto-area hosts pay off their Level 2 charger installation cost within the first year of sharing on WattShare.
Sustainable Income
You're selling green fuel and helping reduce carbon emissions in your own neighbourhood — and getting paid automatically for it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Earning from Your EV Charger
Everything you need to know about making money from your EV charger in Toronto and across Canada.
How do I earn money from my EV charger?
Sign up as a WattShare host, list your Level 2 charger, set your per-kWh rate, and start accepting bookings. Drivers in your area pay you directly through the app for every kWh they charge. You get automatic payouts — no cash, no invoicing.
How much can I earn from sharing my EV charger in Toronto?
Toronto and GTA hosts typically earn between $500 and $1,500+ per year due to high EV density and limited public charging availability. Urban hosts in high-demand neighbourhoods see the most bookings.
Can I still earn carbon credits while sharing my charger on WattShare?
Yes. Most carbon credit programs track your personal (internal) charging. WattShare tracks external (shared) charging separately. You can often benefit from both programs at the same time.
What types of EV chargers does WattShare support?
WattShare supports J1772 (Level 2) and NACS/Tesla connectors. If you have a standard Level 2 home charger installed by a licensed electrician, you are ready to host.
Do I need to be home when drivers use my charger?
No. WattShare is fully automated. Drivers book through the app, your charger unlocks remotely, and payment is processed automatically. You do not need to be present at all.
How and when do I get paid?
Earnings are deposited directly to your linked account after each completed session. There are no monthly delays — just automatic payouts per kWh dispensed.
Is there a cost to join WattShare as a host?
No. Joining WattShare as a host is completely free. There are no upfront fees, no monthly subscriptions, and no hidden costs. WattShare takes a small platform fee from each completed transaction.
Is it safe to let others use my home charger?
Yes. WattShare verifies all drivers and handles payment processing, so you never deal with cash or awkward billing. All sessions are logged, traceable, and covered by our host protection policy.
How much control do I have over who uses my charger?
Full control. Set your availability hours, approve or decline individual bookings, adjust your pricing anytime, and pause hosting whenever you need. Your driveway, your rules.
What if someone damages my charger?
WattShare provides host protection and support. All drivers are verified, and we have clear processes in place to handle any issues that arise during a session.
What is a carbon credit and how does it relate to earning from my EV charger?
Carbon credits are government-backed rewards under Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations for reducing emissions. Some programs pay EV owners $0.03–$0.05/kWh for personal charging. WattShare's charger-sharing income is separate and significantly higher — up to $0.50/kWh — making the two programs complementary.
How quickly will I start receiving bookings?
Once you list your charger and set your availability, you can receive bookings immediately. Earnings depend on demand in your area, your pricing, and how many hours you make your charger available.
