Monetize Your Annex EV Charging Space with WattShare
Have an off-street EV charger spot or a Level 2 plug near Bloor and Spadina? Don’t let your asset sit idle while your neighbours struggle to charge. The Annex is a “charging desert” for thousands of EV drivers in mid-rise apartments and heritage homes. By listing your private EV charger space on WattShare, you provide a vital community service while earning +$150–$300/month in passive income, treat that range as illustrative; actual earnings depend on your price, hours, and demand.
Why The Annex Needs Your EV Charger
The Annex is the epicentre of Toronto’s “Parking Pad Debate.” With the city frequently denying new permeable parking pad permits, the existing supply of off-street spots is more valuable than ever.
- The local pain: Neighbourhood advocates like David Jankovic have fought for the right to install charging infrastructure. As a host, you bypass much of that bureaucracy by sharing the space you already control.
- The “garage orphan” crisis: Residents in buildings like 15 Prince Arthur Ave or 11 Walmer Road often have the car but not the plug.
- Turn “idle” into income: If your spot is empty from 9 AM to 5 PM, or if you have a Level 2 charger that goes unused at night, you can turn that downtime into bookings.
Upgrade Your Spot: Top-Rated Hardware for Annex Hosts
To command a higher booking rate, installing a permanent, smart Level 2 station is a smart investment.

FAQ: Maximizing Your Spot
- How much can I actually earn?
- Annex hosts often see strong demand compared with many Toronto neighbourhoods. Depending on your location near St. George Station or Spadina Road, competitive pricing, and availability, guest bookings can help offset your own EV costs or electricity bill—actual results vary by season, rates, and how often you list.
- What if I don't have a charger yet?
- You can still host. Many drivers carry portable Level 2 equipment. Listing a secure, legal EV Charger space with a suitable outlet (for example NEMA 14-50 where permitted) can be enough to get started; upgrade to a fixed Level 2 station when you are ready.
