RoadToEV is a mobile platform where electric vehicle (EV) charger owners can list their charging stations for short-term rentals and EV drivers can find and reserve available chargers.
Charger owners can list their charger by creating a profile, specifying charger details (type, speed, access hours), setting rental rates, and managing bookings directly in the app.
Level 2 and Level 3 chargers can be listed, provided they meet Canadian safety and certification standards. Listings should include connector types (such as SAE J1772 or CCS or NACS (Tesla)).
You can use your existing charger to join RoadToEV. However, if you are looking to get a new one, our recommendation is Tesla Universal Wall Connector (Amazon USA) (Amazon Canada).
- The wall charger above supports both North American plugs (J1772 and NACS)
- You can buy this Tesla Universal Wall Connector on Amazon or directly from Tesla.
- Please ensure that the charger is installed by a certified electrician. We recommend installing the charger just outside your home's garage for easier access.
- As EV batteries get bigger it is best to have a higher amp going to the charger. Please ask the electrician to hardwire a 60 Amp circuit on this charger, if feasible.
- If you have a Tesla account, you can add this charger to the account after installation.
- If you don't have a Tesla account, we recommend creating one and adding this charger to the account after installation.
- Tesla account would allow you to see the charger's details (the charger must be connected to a local wifi network).
- RoadToEV app is fully integrated with Tesla. After installing the Tesla charger, you can simply connect the RoadToEV app with your Tesla account to access all your charger details.
- Finally, on the RoadToEV app, just set your charger location, charging schedule, and your own electricity rate. Instructions for setting these details can be found here.
Payments are processed through the app, ensuring secure transactions for both guests and hosts. Hosts can set their own rental prices, and funds are transferred directly to their RoadToEV wallet after rental completion. Hosts can either spend the money on RoadToEV platform or withdraw it.
The app is free to download and use for searching and booking. Fees may apply for completed bookings or for premium host features.
Each listing provides detailed information about the connector types and charging speed to help users confirm compatibility with their EV before booking.
Anyone in North America can download and use the app, whether they are looking to charge their EV or want to rent out their home or business charger.
Users can search for nearby available chargers using the built-in map and filter options such as connector type, speed, or availability in real time.
By sharing existing chargers, the app enhances charging access for EV drivers and reduces the need for new infrastructure, supporting both community and environmental goals.
RoadToEV does not work with utility companies and does not help you pay your electricity bill. Charger owners are solely responsible for maintaining their account in good standing with local electricity providers and payment of all electric bills. Please work with a local electric company and know the electricity usage rules to see if you can make your chargers available for public use, prior to signing up your charger on the RoadToEV app.
RoadToEV application supports payments by Credit Card or Wallet Balance. Whenever someone charges their vehicle using RoadToEV App, we first check to see if the Wallet has a positive balance. If so, payment is deducted from the wallet. If there is no wallet balance, then payment is deducted using the linked credit card on the profile.
RoadToEV believes in full transparency of the fees. RoadToEV app displays the fees that are set by the charging providers. The app will charge that fees based on amount of charge, any idle fees (if applicable) as set by the charging provider and RoadToEV convenience fees ($1.99 + applicable taxes). It is a simple and clean. There is no monthly or annual membership fees to be part of RoadToEV community.
RoadToEV is offering no fees to charging hosts during first 60 days of signup. After the first 60 days, RoadToEV would charge 20% of revenue as the charging fees (+ applicable taxes). There is no monthly or annual fees associated with being a host on the platform. RoadToEV only charges a fees, if hosts make money.
Electricity theft, like other thefts, is a crime. RoadToEV does keep track of users near a charger, so if a theft occurs, we can work with authorities if required. If a vehicle user or owner repeatedly does this, then their account would be banned from the RoadToEV system.
RoadToEV supports all BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles) that are in the North American marketplace and need to be charged using Level 2/3 chargers. If there is a specific vehicle year/make/model that is not listed for selection, please let us know and we would be glad to add it to our list.
RoadToEV allows charger owners to specify the charging cost (based on their electricity rates). System determines total electricity consumed during charging based on maximum battery charging rate in the vehicle as well as the charger's throughput, and time charged. There is also a nominal fee charged by the RoadToEV for processing the transaction.
RoadToEV app allows the vehicle owner to "cancel charging" within 15 min of starting to charge. So after plugging in the charger, vehicle owners can verify that charging has successfully started. If not, they can click on the "cancel charging" button on the app and they will not be billed.
RoadToEV will limit billing based on total battery capacity of the vehicle. So you should not be billed more than 100% typical capacity of the battery based on your make/model.
Owners of the chargers are encouraged to put a lockbox around the charger, to ensure the charger is not used without authorization. This can be added to the RoadToEV charger settings and code is shown to the vehicle owners when they are very close to the charger physically.

If you join RoadToEV using a Tesla Wall Connector, you may be eligible to receive backdated Carbon Credits for eligible EV charging energy consumed as far back as April 1, 2026.
RoadToEV will attempt to retrieve your historical charging records. Backdated credits are subject to RoadToEV being able to successfully extract and verify the required energy data from your Tesla Wall Connector.

Registering the same charger with multiple carbon credit providers may result in the forfeiture of accrued Carbon Credits and the immediate disqualification and removal of the charger from the RoadToEV Carbon Credit Program.
When you enroll your Tesla Wall Connector in the RoadToEV Carbon Credit Program, your participation continues for the remainder of the current calendar year.
For example, if you enroll at any time during 2026, your charger will remain enrolled in the RoadToEV Carbon Credit Program through December 31, 2026.
Existing members may withdraw during the annual 15-day withdrawal window, which runs from January 1 through January 15, inclusive.
Send an email request to support@RoadToEV.com between January 1 and January 15.
The withdrawal window applies to users who enrolled before January 1 of the new calendar year.
For example, a user who enrolled during 2026 may submit a withdrawal request between January 1 and January 15, 2027.
Users who enroll on or after January 1 of the current calendar year are committed for that full calendar year. For example, a user who enrolls on January 10, 2027, will participate through December 31, 2027.
RoadToEV will reconcile and pay out all Carbon Credits collected and owed for the preceding calendar year.
If RoadToEV does not receive a written withdrawal request by January 15, your enrollment will automatically renew for the new calendar year.
Your charger will remain enrolled in the RoadToEV Carbon Credit Program for the entire new calendar year. Your next opportunity to withdraw will be during the following year's withdrawal window, from January 1 through January 15.
RoadToEV uses Tesla Wall Connector telemetry and charging-session data to support the aggregation, verification, and submission of eligible charging activity under Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR).
As part of enrollment, customers are required to provide the information and permissions necessary for RoadToEV to process eligible charging data for the Carbon Credit Program.
This may include using relevant charging data to calculate, verify, submit, aggregate, and monetize eligible Carbon Credits compliance and audit agencies when required.
The specific rights, permissions, and obligations associated with participation are set out in the applicable RoadToEV program terms and enrollment documentation.
