ChargeHub Contest

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 EV Society members 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 all EV Society members 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!

 

Eligibility: 

Participants must be EV Society Members, and the uploaded photos must meet the criteria listed in the “How to Enter” section to be eligible for the draw.
