Question 1

What is BlitzVolt?

Accepted Answer

BlitzVolt is a rewards platform operated by Blitz T Club, with IT solutions provided by Summit Pixels Inc. that rewards Tesla owners for charging their vehicles at home. We connect to your Tesla through the official Fleet API, verify your home charging sessions, and credit you 4 points for every kilowatt-hour. It's that simple.

Question 2

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Connect your Tesla account, set your home location, and charge at home as you normally would. BlitzVolt automatically detects your charging sessions, verifies they happen at your registered home address using GPS geofencing, and credits your points. Points accumulate throughout the year. After the annual carbon credit audit completes in Q1 of the following year, your verified points become redeemable for cash via Interac e-Transfer.

Question 3

Who can join?

Accepted Answer

Any Canadian resident who is 18 or older and owns or leases a Tesla vehicle. You'll need an active Tesla account and a Canadian bank account that accepts Interac e-Transfers. Both requirements are needed to verify your charging data and send you rewards.

Question 4

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, BlitzVolt is completely free to join and use. There are no subscription fees, no hidden charges, and no costs to withdraw your earnings. We earn revenue through carbon credit aggregation under Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations, which funds your rewards.

Question 5

Is it available outside Canada?

Accepted Answer

Currently, BlitzVolt is only available to Canadian residents. Our carbon credit aggregation operates under Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), and our payment system uses Interac e-Transfer, which is a Canadian banking service. We may expand to other markets in the future.

Question 6

How much do I earn?

Accepted Answer

You earn 4 points for every verified kilowatt-hour (kWh) of home charging. Every 100 points is worth C$1.00. For example, if you charge 40 kWh in a week, you'd earn 160 points (C$1.60). The average Tesla owner charging at home can expect to earn approximately 600–1,200 points per month depending on their driving habits.

Question 7

When do rewards appear in my account?

Accepted Answer

Rewards are typically credited within 24–48 hours after a charging session completes and passes verification. During peak periods or maintenance windows, there may be a slight delay. Points will appear in your balance as "pending verification" until the annual Q1 carbon credit audit is completed. You'll receive a notification each time a reward is credited to your balance.

Question 8

What qualifies as home charging?

Accepted Answer

Home charging means charging your Tesla at your registered home address using a supported Tesla home charging device. The session must occur within the geofence boundary around your home location and be recorded through your connected Tesla via the Fleet API. Public Supercharger and destination charging sessions do not qualify.

Question 9

How are rewards calculated?

Accepted Answer

Each verified charging session's energy delivery (in kWh) is multiplied by the reward rate of 4 points per kWh. The result is added to your BlitzVolt balance as integer points — no floating-point arithmetic. You can view a detailed breakdown of each session's point reward in your transaction history.

Question 10

Is there a maximum amount I can earn?

Accepted Answer

There is no upper limit on how much you can earn. Your rewards are directly proportional to how much you charge at home. The more you charge at home, the more points you earn.

Question 11

Do my rewards expire?

Accepted Answer

No, your rewards never expire. Your earned balance will remain in your account until you choose to redeem. However, points must be verified through the annual Q1 carbon credit audit before they can be redeemed. There is no time limit on when you need to reach the minimum redemption threshold.

Question 12

How do I cash out my referral rewards?

Accepted Answer

Referral rewards are added to the same balance as your charging rewards. Once your total balance reaches 10,000 points (C$100.00), you can redeem everything together via Interac e-Transfer from the Wallet section. There is no separate cash-out process for referral earnings.

Question 13

I referred my friend but did not receive the referral bonus. What happened?

Accepted Answer

Referral bonuses are credited after your friend signs up using your referral link, connects a charger they own, and completes their first 100 kWh of verified home charging. If you did not receive the bonus, check that your friend used your exact referral link and that their charger shows the OWNER badge on the Connect page. If everything looks correct, contact us at info@blitztclub.com and we will investigate.

Question 14

Is my Tesla data safe?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Your Tesla credentials are never shared with us. We use OAuth 2.0 PKCE, which means you authenticate directly with Tesla and we receive only a limited-access token. All tokens are encrypted using AES-256-GCM before storage, and our database is protected by Row Level Security (RLS) policies.

Question 15

What data do you access from my Tesla?

Accepted Answer

We access your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for verification, charging session data including energy delivered and timestamps, and GPS coordinates during charging for geofence verification. We do not access your driving data, location when not charging, cabin camera data, or any vehicle controls.

Question 16

Can I disconnect my Tesla anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can disconnect your Tesla at any time from within the BlitzVolt app or through your Tesla account settings. When you disconnect, we permanently delete all stored OAuth tokens immediately. You can reconnect later if you choose to resume using the service.

Question 17

How do I connect my charger to BlitzVolt?

Accepted Answer

Tap "Connect with Tesla" on the Connect page. You will be redirected to Tesla's official login portal (auth.tesla.com) where you authenticate directly with Tesla. After granting permission, your wall connectors and vehicles are automatically detected. The entire process takes less than a minute if your charger is already linked to your Tesla account.

Question 18

Can I connect multiple chargers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, BlitzVolt supports multiple wall connectors on a single account. If you have more than one Tesla Wall Connector registered in your Tesla account, all of them will appear on the Connect page after linking. Each charger is tracked independently, and all home charging sessions from any connected charger qualify for rewards.

Question 19

My wall connector is not showing up on the Connect page.

Accepted Answer

Ensure your wall connector is properly set up in the Tesla app under "My Home" and that it appears in your Tesla account's device list. It can take up to 24 hours for a newly installed charger to appear. If it still does not show up, try disconnecting and reconnecting your Tesla account from the Connect page. For persistent issues, contact us at info@blitztclub.com.

Question 20

I connected my charger and charged my Tesla but I do not see any data on the Charging page.

Accepted Answer

Charging data is typically synced within 24 hours of a completed session. First, verify the session appears in your Tesla app under "Charge History." Make sure your charger shows the OWNER badge on the Connect page, as only owner-registered chargers earn rewards. If data still does not appear after 24 hours, contact us at info@blitztclub.com.

Question 21

Why do I need to connect my vehicle to the program?

Accepted Answer

We are required to verify certain vehicle parameters such as make, model, and VIN for regulatory compliance under Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations. Connecting your vehicle allows us to automatically detect charging sessions and verify they occurred at your registered home address, eliminating the need for manual reporting.

Question 22

How does BlitzVolt connect to my Tesla account?

Accepted Answer

BlitzVolt connects through Tesla's official authentication portal. When you tap "Connect with Tesla," you are redirected to auth.tesla.com where you log in directly with your Tesla credentials. BlitzVolt never sees or stores your Tesla password — we receive only a limited-access token through the OAuth 2.0 protocol with PKCE encryption. You can revoke access at any time from your Tesla account settings.

Question 23

What permissions does BlitzVolt request from my Tesla account?

Accepted Answer

We request only the minimum permissions needed: identity verification (openid), the ability to maintain your connection (offline_access), device data for charger detection (energy_device_data), and vehicle data for charging session verification (vehicle_device_data). We do not request vehicle control, locking/unlocking, climate control, or any driving management permissions. You can review and revoke these permissions at any time in your Tesla account.

Question 24

Do you access my household energy usage?

Accepted Answer

No. BlitzVolt only receives data from your connected Tesla wall connector and vehicle — specifically charging session energy (kWh), timestamps, and GPS coordinates during charging. We have no access to your household electricity meter, utility bill data, or overall home energy consumption. Your home energy usage remains completely private.

Question 25

What if I have multiple Teslas?

Accepted Answer

BlitzVolt currently supports one Tesla vehicle per account. If you have multiple Teslas, you can choose which one to connect. We recommend connecting the vehicle you charge most frequently at home to maximize your rewards. Support for multiple vehicles may be added in the future.

Question 26

What is geofence verification?

Accepted Answer

Geofence verification is how we confirm that your charging sessions happen at your registered home address. When you charge, we compare the GPS coordinates from your Tesla with your home location using the Haversine formula. Sessions that fall within the geofence radius qualify for rewards.

Question 27

How do I set my home location?

Accepted Answer

During setup, you'll be prompted to set your home location by entering your address or dropping a pin on a map. This becomes your geofence center point. You can update your home location at any time through the app settings if you move or need to adjust it.

Question 28

What if I charge at a friend's house?

Accepted Answer

Only sessions at your registered home location qualify for rewards. If you frequently charge at another location, you won't earn rewards for those sessions. The geofence is tied to your home address specifically to maintain the integrity of our home charging verification system.

Question 29

What if I move?

Accepted Answer

Simply update your home location in the app settings. Your new address will become the geofence center point going forward. Previous sessions at your old address that have already been verified will remain credited to your account. There's no penalty for moving.

Question 30

How do I cash out?

Accepted Answer

You can redeem your charging points once the associated carbon credits have been successfully verified and approved by the applicable regulatory authority, which occurs in Q1 of the following year. Navigate to the Wallet section and tap "Redeem" to request your Interac e-Transfer.

Question 31

What's the minimum withdrawal amount?

Accepted Answer

The minimum redemption is 10,000 verified points (C$100.00). Points must be verified through the annual Q1 carbon credit audit before they can be redeemed. This verification is required under Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations.

Question 32

How long does an Interac e-Transfer take?

Accepted Answer

Most Interac e-Transfers are processed within 1–3 business days. Once processed, you'll receive an email from Interac with instructions to deposit the funds into your bank account. The actual deposit is usually instant after you accept the transfer.

Question 33

Are there any withdrawal fees?

Accepted Answer

No, there are no fees for withdrawing your earnings. The full amount you request is sent to you via Interac e-Transfer. BlitzVolt covers all transaction processing costs on our end.

Question 34

What email address do I use for Interac?

Accepted Answer

Use the email address associated with your Canadian bank account that accepts Interac e-Transfer Autodeposit. If your bank doesn't have Autodeposit set up, you'll receive a security question and answer via the email you provide. Make sure the email is correct to avoid delays.

Question 35

Why can't I redeem my points immediately?

Accepted Answer

Points are tied to carbon credits under Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations. The regulatory authority verifies and approves these credits during Q1 of the following year. Once verified, your points become available for redemption. This annual cycle ensures compliance with federal carbon credit aggregation rules.

Question 36

When is the annual verification?

Accepted Answer

The carbon credit audit takes place in Q1 (January–March) of each year. Once the regulatory authority completes its review and approves the credits, your verified points will be available for redemption. You'll receive a notification when your points are verified.

Question 37

What's the difference between pending and verified points?

Accepted Answer

Pending points are earned from your charging sessions throughout the year. They appear in your balance but cannot be redeemed yet. Verified points have been confirmed through the annual Q1 carbon credit audit and are available for Interac e-Transfer redemption.

Question 38

How does the referral program work?

Accepted Answer

Share your unique referral code with friends. When they sign up, connect their Tesla, and accumulate 100 kWh of verified home charging, you both receive a $5.00 CAD bonus. There's no limit to how many people you can refer — the more, the better.

Question 39

When do we get the $5 bonus?

Accepted Answer

The $5.00 CAD bonus is credited to both you and your referee once they reach 100 kWh of verified home charging. This typically takes a few weeks of regular home charging. You'll both receive a notification when the bonus is applied to your balances.

Question 40

Is there a limit on referrals?

Accepted Answer

No, there's no limit on how many people you can refer or how many $5.00 bonuses you can earn. Each qualifying referral earns both you and your friend $5.00 CAD. However, each person can only be referred once, and self-referrals are not permitted.

Question 41

Can I refer non-Tesla owners?

Accepted Answer

The referral program is designed for Tesla owners since BlitzVolt requires a connected Tesla vehicle. If someone you refer doesn't own a Tesla, they won't be able to complete the setup process and the referral won't qualify for the bonus.

Question 42

What counts toward the 100 kWh threshold?

Accepted Answer

Only verified home charging sessions count toward the 100 kWh referral threshold. Supercharger sessions, destination charging, and sessions that fail geofence verification do not contribute. The referee must accumulate 100 kWh of qualifying home charging to trigger the bonus.

Question 43

Are rewards taxable?

Accepted Answer

Rewards earned through BlitzVolt may be considered taxable income under Canadian tax law. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) treats various types of rewards and incentives differently depending on the circumstances. We recommend consulting a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your situation.

Question 44

Will I get a T4A slip?

Accepted Answer

Blitz T Club may issue T4A slips for qualifying users as required by CRA regulations. If a T4A is issued, it will be sent to you by the required deadline. We'll notify you in advance if you'll be receiving one. Not all users will necessarily receive a T4A — it depends on the total amount earned.

Question 45

How do I report this on my taxes?

Accepted Answer

You are responsible for reporting your BlitzVolt earnings in accordance with CRA requirements. If you receive a T4A, include it with your tax return as indicated. If you don't receive a T4A but earned rewards, consult a tax professional about whether and how to report the income.

Question 46

What are carbon credits?

Accepted Answer

Carbon credits are tradeable certificates that represent a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Under Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations (CFR), electricity used to charge electric vehicles generates credits because it displaces fossil fuel consumption. These credits can be sold to companies that need to meet regulatory compliance targets.

Question 47

Why does BlitzVolt collect them?

Accepted Answer

Individual EV owners can't access the carbon credit market on their own — it requires aggregation, verification, and reporting infrastructure. BlitzVolt aggregates charging data across our community, generates CFR-compliant credits, and monetizes them. The revenue funds the rewards you earn and keeps the platform free.

Question 48

How does this help the environment?

Accepted Answer

By rewarding home charging, BlitzVolt incentivizes more EV adoption and more electric driving. Every kWh charged at home using grid electricity displaces gasoline consumption. At a rate of 0.404 kg CO2 per kWh (based on the Ontario grid average), the cumulative impact across our community makes a measurable difference in Canada's carbon emissions.

Question 49

What's the CO2 offset rate?

Accepted Answer

We use 0.404 kg of CO2 offset per kWh, which is based on the Ontario provincial grid emissions factor. This represents the average carbon intensity of electricity generation in Ontario. For example, if you charge 50 kWh, that represents approximately 20.2 kg of CO2 offset compared to driving a gas vehicle.

Question 50

As a charger owner, why can I not just generate my own carbon credits?

Accepted Answer

Under Canada's Clean Fuel Regulations, residential EV charging must be registered and reported through a registered Charging Network Operator. Individual home charger owners cannot independently register or generate credits within the federal program. BlitzVolt acts as the registered operator, aggregating charging data across our community to meet the regulatory reporting requirements, and passes the revenue back to you as rewards.

Question 51

Can I join if I have my own private charging site?

Accepted Answer

Private charging site owners may be eligible to participate if they have control over a compatible Tesla charging site that can be securely connected to BlitzVolt. To register as a private site owner, please contact us at info@blitztclub.com with details about your setup and we will evaluate your eligibility on a case-by-case basis.

Question 52

What chargers work with BlitzVolt?

Accepted Answer

BlitzVolt supports all Tesla home charging equipment: the Gen 3 Wall Connector, Universal Wall Connector, and Mobile Connector. As long as the charging session is recorded through your Tesla via the Fleet API and occurs at your registered home address, it qualifies regardless of which Tesla charger you use.

Question 53

Why was my session flagged?

Accepted Answer

Sessions may be flagged by our anomaly detection system for several reasons: GPS coordinates outside your geofence, unusual energy delivery patterns, overlapping sessions, or data inconsistencies. A flagged session doesn't always mean fraud — it just means our system needs to verify the data. You can appeal if you believe it was flagged incorrectly.

Question 54

What if my charging data seems wrong?

Accepted Answer

If you notice discrepancies in your charging data or rewards, contact us at info@blitztclub.com with the session details. We can review the raw data from the Tesla Fleet API and correct any errors. Data issues are rare but can occur due to API delays or syncing errors.

Question 55

How often is data synced from my Tesla?

Accepted Answer

Charging data is synced automatically through the Tesla Fleet API, typically within minutes of a session completing. During Tesla's maintenance windows or network issues, there may be delays. If data hasn't appeared within 24 hours of a session, please contact support.

Question 56

How do I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

You can request account deletion through the app settings or by emailing us at privacy@blitztclub.com. Upon deletion, we will permanently erase your Tesla OAuth tokens, disconnect your vehicle, and remove your personal data in accordance with our data retention schedule.

Question 57

What happens to pending rewards?

Accepted Answer

If you have a balance of 10,000 verified points (C$100.00) or more at the time of deletion, we recommend redeeming before proceeding. Unverified points (those not yet confirmed through the annual Q1 carbon credit audit) and balances below the 10,000 point minimum redemption threshold will be forfeited upon account deletion, as we cannot process Interac e-Transfers for unverified or insufficient balances.

Question 58

Can I rejoin after deleting my account?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can create a new BlitzVolt account at any time. However, your previous reward history, transaction records, and referral relationships cannot be restored. You'll start fresh as a new user. Note that any referral codes from your previous account will no longer be active.
