Installing a home EV charger is one of the most practical ways to support cleaner transportation — and with RippleRoot, it can also earn you crypto rewards. This guide shows US and Canadian homeowners exactly how to submit proof, get verified, and grow your RootScore™.
When you install a Level 2 (or equivalent) home EV charging station, you can submit documentation to RippleRoot. After admin verification, you receive points that convert into RippleRoot tokens. The reward recognizes the infrastructure that makes everyday electric driving possible and reduces reliance on gasoline.
To claim the reward, prepare clear evidence of the installation:
Valid ID or driver’s license — for identity verification
A selfie — to confirm you are the account holder
Proof of installation — photos of the mounted charger, installation receipt or invoice from a licensed electrician, and (when available) the permit or inspection certificate
Charger details — brand/model, amperage or power rating (for example 40A or 48A Level 2), and approximate location (garage, driveway, exterior wall)
Installation date — when the work was completed
Optional supporting notes — any utility rebate or local program you used (helpful context, not required for RippleRoot points)
Clear, well-lit photos of the installed unit and the receipt speed up review.
Points for EV charger installations are awarded for supporting green transport infrastructure. Exact point values can vary based on the scale and documentation of the installation. Once approved, points are added to your RootScore™ and reflected on the community leaderboard. Tokens are then sent to the wallet linked to your account.
Here is the typical flow after you submit:
Submission received — Your materials enter the pending review queue
Admin review — The team checks identity documents and installation proof for authenticity
Approval — Verified installations receive points and token rewards
Leaderboard update — Your updated RootScore™ appears on the community rankings
Most straightforward submissions with clear photos and receipts move through review efficiently.
In the United States, Level 2 chargers usually require a dedicated 240-volt circuit. Many jurisdictions need a permit and final inspection. A licensed electrician should handle the work.
Practical steps that help both safety and your RippleRoot submission:
Confirm your electrical panel has available capacity (often a 40–50 amp double-pole breaker)
Choose a location with short cable runs when possible to keep installation simpler
Keep the electrician’s invoice and any permit paperwork — these make strong proof
Take photos of the finished installation from multiple angles
Note any utility or state programs you participated in; these are separate from RippleRoot rewards
Federal incentives for residential EV chargers have changed over time, so always check current IRS or local utility guidance. RippleRoot does not provide tax or legal advice.
Across Canada, Level 2 home charging is the standard for overnight convenience. Provincial rules and utility programs differ, but a licensed electrical contractor is typically required, and an electrical safety authority notification or inspection is common.
Helpful practices:
Verify panel capacity (200-amp service is ideal in many newer homes)
Ask the contractor to handle the required permits and certificates
Photograph the mounted charger and keep the invoice
Check provincial or utility programs (for example BC Hydro or other local offers) for hardware rebates — these are independent of RippleRoot
Mount the unit at a height that remains accessible in winter conditions where snowfall is heavy
Again, RippleRoot rewards are based on verified installation proof and are separate from any government or utility incentive.
Document thoroughly — multiple clear photos plus a dated receipt reduce questions
Use a licensed professional — this supports both safety and credible proof
Submit soon after installation — fresh documentation is easiest to verify
Combine actions — many users also earn for solar panels, volunteering, or other green deeds, building RootScore™ faster
Keep your wallet ready — once approved, tokens go to the connected wallet
RootScore™ is RippleRoot’s impact scoring system. It aggregates verified contributions — solar installations, EV chargers, volunteer hours, donations, and other green actions — into a transparent score. Higher RootScore™ improves your standing on the community leaderboard and can unlock platform benefits such as marketplace discounts. Every approved EV charger installation adds to that score.
Most EV charging happens at home. A dedicated Level 2 charger makes daily electric driving convenient, reduces trips to public stations, and supports the shift away from fossil-fuel vehicles. By rewarding the installation itself, RippleRoot creates an extra incentive for homeowners who are already investing in cleaner transportation infrastructure.
The combination of lower operating costs, potential utility programs, and RippleRoot tokens makes the decision more rewarding for both the planet and the household.
Do I need a Level 2 charger to qualify?
Level 2 (240V) installations are the primary focus because they represent meaningful home charging infrastructure. Include full details of whatever system you installed so the review team can assess it.
Can renters submit?
If you have permission to install (or the landlord installed one for your use) and can provide clear proof, you may still submit. Permission documentation helps.
How long does verification take?
Timing depends on submission volume and the completeness of your documents. Clear photos and receipts usually move faster.
Are RippleRoot rewards the same as government rebates?
No. Government and utility incentives are separate. RippleRoot rewards verified good deeds with points and tokens on the platform.
What if my panel needed an upgrade?
Panel upgrades are common. Include relevant invoices if they form part of the overall installation proof; the core requirement remains evidence of the charger installation itself.
If you have already installed a home EV charger — or are about to — gather your photos and receipts and submit through your RippleRoot account. Every verified installation strengthens your RootScore™ and helps grow a community that rewards real-world climate action.
