Deal Details
I saw an ad campaign on FBMP and signed up, seems to be legit for Cali residents!

Apparently you connect your vehicle account to smartcar(plaid for smart car apps) and it passes the charging session data to this govt sponsored program. For every kWh dispensed outside of your "home address" between 10AM-3PM, you get 20 cents back up to $15/mo plus $25 signup bonus with invite code.

The trick is to change your home address to somewhere you wouldn't typically charge. I guess it's a campaign to not waste renewal stored energy or something idk.

Did they kill the program already?

The 20 cent incentive banner is no longer on my account, and my July charging data/rewards are all gone....

(Was paid for June about two weeks ago)

Signed up and got the $25 sign up bonus. Been charging at work and Supercharging other places. Is there a log of what they're tracking as far as credits? I did not download the app, but I don't see anything on their barebones website.

Same thing happened to me. A couple days later all my charging data was showing again and the $0.20 banner reappeared.
