ChargeHub Contest

Thank you for Energizing Our Journey!

 

As we close this chapter of our Photo Contest, we want to express our heartfelt thanks to each participant who illuminated our mission with their snapshots, aiding in the crafting of a more sustainable, low-carbon transit future. Your efforts were pivotal in keeping the information on the ChargeHub platform current and reliable, helping to streamline the EV charging experience across Canada.

A special note of appreciation to the vibrant organizations and fervent supporters who amplified our campaign, transforming our vision of low-carbon transportation into a shared, thriving goal. Your mentions, shares, and forwards have indeed made a ripple of substantial impact.

Thank you all for fueling this initiative with your energy and passion. The contest has come to an end, but the journey towards a greener future continues. Together, we drive forward!

 

Join EV Society and ChargeHub in building the future of low-carbon transportation!

As the federal government works to expand EV charging infrastructure across Canada, it’s important to ensure that the network is equitable, accessible, and reliable for everyone. That’s why EV Society has partnered with ChargeHub to help make a difference in EV owners’ charging experience.

The objective of our new campaign is simple:

We invite ALL EV drivers in uploading photos of charging stations across Canada through the ChargeHub app. By doing so, you’ll be helping to build the stage for the future of low-carbon transportation.

But why is this so important?

ChargeHub is not a charging network but a platform that aggregates all the electric vehicle charging stations in Canada and the United States in one place.

It is the largest network-independent community-driven EV charging app, with over 1 million annual users. ChargeHub helps EV drivers find all public charging stations and pay for their charging with a single account on more than 75 000 charging stations.

By simplifying charging for EV drivers, ChargeHub contributes to accelerating EV adoption, and with your help, we can make sure that the information on ChargeHub is as accurate and up-to-date as possible.

And here’s the best part:

We have prizes to give away each month for individuals who participate. For each charging location photo(s) submitted and approved by ChargeHub, you’ll receive a ticket for the monthly draw. The more photos you submit, the higher your chances of winning.

And with these prizes, you’ll be enjoying all your Summer road trips at no extra cost!
