Credit calculator
How much is your home charging actually worth?
Jinx Charge (jinxcharge.ca) is a Canadian Clean Fuel Regulations (SOR/2022-140, s.102) platform applying to become a charging-network operator that meters home EV charging for potential compliance credits, and passes the value back to drivers — 70% on the free tier, or 100% as a Member.
Estimate your credit value
Pick your province and vehicle class to see a non-guaranteed range of what your charging could be worth. Every number is computed from the same statutory formula the engine uses to calculate prospective credits.
Illustrative, non-guaranteed range based on historical ECCC credit prices ( $93/t low to $343/t high) and the 2026 reference carbon intensity. Your actual payout is a share of net settled credit proceeds — after independent third-party verification fees and credit-sale/brokerage costs, which are not shown here — and depends on Jinx Charge completing registration and the market price at the time the batch sells (typically 6–20 months after charging). This is not a promise of a specific dollar amount.

The Clean Fuel Regulations let a charging-network operator elect an energy-efficiency ratio for each vehicle class. A light-duty EV elects 4.1 EER; an unlinked charger or other-class vehicle uses the conservative 2.5 EER default. That difference is material — and on higher-carbon grids (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia), the 2.5 EER default produces zero credits, while linking a light-duty EV at 4.1 EER unlocks real value. Listing a vehicle never creates credits on its own — only metered kilowatt-hours do — but the class determines what each of those kWh is worth.
Frequently asked questions
How much is one kWh of home EV charging worth under the Clean Fuel Regulations?
It depends on your province's grid carbon intensity and your vehicle class. A light-duty EV elects a 4.1 energy-efficiency ratio (EER) under SOR/2022-140 s.102(2), while an unlinked or other-class vehicle uses a 2.5 fallback. At historical ECCC credit prices (which ranged from $93 to $343 per tonne), a light-duty EV in a low-carbon province generates a wide range of gross credit value per kWh — and your actual payout is a share of net settled credit proceeds after verification and sale, so it can be substantially less than the gross figure.
Why does linking my vehicle to a light-duty EV matter?
The 4.1 EER light-duty ratio produces significantly more credits than the 2.5 EER default. On high-carbon grids like Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Nova Scotia, the 2.5 EER default yields zero credits because the electricity is higher-carbon than the fossil baseline it replaces — linking a light-duty EV at 4.1 EER is the difference between earning credits and earning nothing.
Is the calculator amount a guaranteed payout?
No. The calculator shows an illustrative estimate at the current reference credit price. The credit price changes with the carbon market, and your final payout is net settled credit proceeds after independent third-party verification and the sale of the credit batch. The estimate is honest from day one, not a promise of a specific dollar figure.
