The ECCC’s compliance credit program allows charging-site hosts (Section 101) and charging-network operators (Section 102) to register as credit creators and generate compliance credits by supplying electricity to EVs through eligible charging stations. The updated guidance clarifies charging-station requirements, including U.S. NIST specifications, and adds guidance on mobile charging stations and their eligibility and reporting requirements. It also clarifies the eligibility of electric forklifts for credit creation and provides additional examples of how charging-network operators can use revenue generated from credits under the revenue reinvestment requirements. For reporting, charging-site hosts can now use spreadsheet uploads in CATS to report individual charging-station information in their annual compliance credit-creation reports.
