Get a free Level 2 EV charger
installed at your home
Through Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations, BC homeowners can receive a free SWTCH charger — professionally installed by Flex Electric Systems.
How it works
Contact Flex Electric first
Before ordering anything, give us a call. We'll confirm your panel can support a Level 2 charger, advise on the best install location, and give you a firm installation quote — so there are no surprises.
Order your charger through our link
Visit the SWTCH order page using the Flex Electric link. A fully refundable $300 deposit is required — this is returned to you once you've charged approximately 1,500 kWh, typically within 2–4 months.
Book your installation with Flex Electric
Once your charger arrives, contact Flex Electric to schedule your Level 2 installation. We're a licensed electrical contractor based in Sidney, serving Greater Victoria and Vancouver Island.
We install and connect your charger
Our team installs your SWTCH charger safely and to code. We handle the permit, the wiring, and the activation — you don't need to lift a finger.
Start charging — and earning
Every kWh you charge at home earns you money, starting at 3¢/kWh and growing to 10¢/kWh as your usage increases. Estimated annual earnings/savings of $150–$400.
Why is this charger free?
Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations require fuel producers and importers to reduce the carbon intensity of the fuels they sell. One way they can earn compliance credits is by funding EV charging infrastructure for Canadian homeowners.
SWTCH Energy acts as the intermediary — they supply the charger at no cost and earn the compliance credits based on the charging sessions that happen through their network. In return, you get a free charger and a small per-kWh payment for every session.
There's no catch. The program is funded by large energy companies meeting their regulatory obligations — not by you.
