Launching across Southern Ontario
Your driveway earns while you sleep.
PlugNest connects EV drivers with neighbours who have home chargers. Hosts earn up to $500/month from a charger they already own. Drivers charge for a fraction of public charging prices — right in their neighbourhood.

How PlugNest works
For hosts
List
Add your charger, photos, availability hours and your hourly price. Ten minutes, no hardware.
Get booked
Verified drivers nearby book pre-paid sessions inside your availability windows.
Get paid
88% of every session lands in your bank within 2 business days. Automatically.
For drivers
Find
Open the map, see real chargers near home, work, or wherever you're headed.
Book
Pick a time that fits, pay securely in the app. The exact address unlocks on booking.
Charge
Plug in, track your session in-app, and rate your host when you're done.
Turn your charger into $200–500/month
Earn from hardware you already own
Your charger sits idle 90% of the day. PlugNest fills those hours with pre-paid bookings — zero new equipment, zero installation.
You stay in complete control
Set the hours, set the price ($5–$25/hr), block dates, pause anytime. Your charger, your rules.
Verified drivers, pre-paid sessions
Every driver is verified with email and licence plate. Money is collected before anyone arrives, and both sides rate each other.
Optional smart plug control
Pair a TP-Link smart plug and your charger only powers on during paid sessions — automatic on at start, off at end.

Affordable charging, from your neighbours
Charge where you actually are
No detours to charging plazas. Find chargers on your street, near work, by the rink — places you're already going.
Roughly half the price of public charging
Hosts set fair neighbourhood prices because they're earning on idle hardware, not running a business.
Book ahead — the spot is yours
No circling, no queues, no broken chargers. Your booking reserves the charger and the parking spot in front of it.
Real people, real ratings
See host ratings before you book. Rate every session. The community keeps quality high.
Be first when we go live
Launching across Southern Ontario — the GTA, Hamilton, Kitchener–Waterloo, Guelph, London and Windsor. Early hosts get priority map placement. Early drivers get founding-member perks.
Questions, answered
Drivers pre-pay through the app when they book — no cash, no awkward conversations. Hosts receive 88% of every session, deposited to their bank account within 2 business days of session completion. PlugNest keeps a flat 12%.
