UNITED CHARGERS ANNOUNCES FREE GRIZZL-E EV CHARGER PROGRAM FOR CANADIANS

EV Channels Review

United Chargers announces a groundbreaking "Grizzl-E Club" program exclusively for Canadians, offering a free EV charger. The program, detailed by CEO Gleb Nikiforov, requires a refundable security deposit to prevent resale and ensures the charger remains connected to Wi-Fi for data collection. In exchange for assigning potential government rebates to United Chargers, members receive a free charger and an annual credit of 3 cents per kilowatt-hour consumed. This credit, estimated at $150-$200 annually for average drivers, can cover the $120 yearly membership fee, with any excess paid out via check. The program also includes lifetime support and warranty, with replacement chargers and installation covered if the unit fails. While initially focusing on hardwired units, plug-in models are expected soon. The company aims to leverage accumulated rebates and charging data to provide further benefits, including potential public charging credits and enhanced software features. The initiative is positioned as a significant step towards making EV charging more affordable and accessible in Canada, with plans to potentially replicate the model in the US after learning from the Canadian rollout.
