Canadian Tesla owners now have the opportunity to join the WattsApp charging rewards program, which has officially launched after a successful beta testing phase. This Toronto-based platform allows users to earn financial rewards by tracking energy delivery from Gen 3 or Universal Wall Connectors. The program awards 3 points for every kilowatt-hour (kWh) added to a vehicle, with a minimum redemption threshold of 10,000 points.
One of the key updates post-beta testing is the transition from gift card rewards to direct cash payouts via Interac e-Transfer. Referral points can be cashed out at any time once the 10,000-point threshold is reached, while points earned through daily charging can be redeemed annually during the first quarter of the year. This schedule ensures that charging data and associated carbon credits are verified by federal regulatory authorities before funds are released.
WattsApp serves as a valuable link to Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), aiding in the reduction of transportation fuel carbon intensity. As individual homeowners cannot register their charging data directly with the government to generate credits, WattsApp acts as the registered Charging Network Operator to handle regulatory reporting on their behalf. Residents looking to participate in the program must connect their compatible charger through the WattsApp portal, which currently supports Tesla hardware with plans to expand compatibility to other internet-connected chargers in the future.
To sign up for WattsApp and start earning rewards for charging a Tesla at home, interested individuals can visit the WattsApp website and connect their Wall Connector (Gen 3). The program’s seamless integration with Tesla accounts and charging hardware offers a convenient way for owners to benefit from their home charging sessions. While support for the Tesla Mobile Connector is not currently available, future updates may include compatibility for additional charging devices.
In addition to the WattsApp program, Tesla owners can explore other news articles in the category of News on the TeslaNorth website.
