Just a heads up for those owners (and potential owners) who live in Toronto about a possible rebate available to you with regards to charging.
On the advice of FlasherZ's home charging FAQ, I contacted my local utility (Toronto Hydro) to let them know I was getting an EV. To my surprise, they e-mailed me back quickly and told me about a program where they provide a financial incentive if you allow them to monitor your charging habits over a 5 year period.
It's significant, but it varies on a case by case basis. I'm not sure what the specific criteria is to determine the rebate amount, nor what makes one eligible. I received $1900.
As a result, while I was originally going to install a NEMA 14-50, I ended up installing a HPWC at 80 amps, so win-win. They were fantastic to deal with.

(no one tell Rob Ford or else this gravy will disappear!) :smile:
