EV Initiative Sales Partner Program Terms

These terms govern the EV Initiative Sales Partner Program. By applying to the program or accepting a Sales Partner invitation, you agree to them and to the EV Initiative Terms of Service.

THE PROGRAM IN ONE PARAGRAPH

Sales Partners bring EV Initiative chargers to customer sites. You buy hardware at MSRP and set your own price to your customer. Your margin on hardware is yours entirely. On top of that, you earn a commission on every paid charging session that runs on chargers you deploy to the network, for as long as those chargers earn.

SESSION COMMISSIONS

1. Commission rates are tiered by how many pay-to-use chargers you have deployed, counted in the order they deploy: chargers 1 through 49 earn 2.0% of paid session revenue, chargers 50 through 99 earn 2.25%, chargers 100 through 149 earn 2.75%, and charger 150 and beyond earns 3.0%.
2. The rate is stamped on each charger at deployment and stays with that charger permanently. Growing your portfolio raises the rate on new deployments. Already-deployed chargers keep the rate they were stamped with.
3. Qualification: your commissions activate when your fourth pay-to-use charger deploys. Your first three chargers carry their stamped rate and begin earning at qualification. Sessions that ran before you qualified do not earn retroactively.
4. Only pay-to-use chargers count toward your deployment total. A charger set to free neither counts toward your tier nor earns commission while free.
5. Commissions accrue only on paid sessions actually collected. Payouts run through your connected Stripe account and follow the same reversal rules as all platform payouts: refunded or charged-back sessions reverse their commission.

HARDWARE

You purchase hardware at MSRP through EV Initiative. You set your own resale pricing to your customer. EV Initiative pays no commission or rebate on hardware. Hardware warranties are the manufacturer's and pass through to the end customer.

YOUR STATUS

You are an independent contractor. You are not an employee, agent, franchisee, or legal representative of EV Initiative, and you may not sign, promise, or represent on EV Initiative's behalf. You are responsible for your own licensing, insurance, taxes, and compliance with the electrical and consumer laws that apply to your work.

PROGRAM INTEGRITY

Deployment counts and commissions exist to reward real growth. EV Initiative may exclude chargers deployed in bad faith, including self-dealing loops, shell installs, or chargers deployed without a genuine operating customer. EV Initiative may adjust tier structures and rates for future deployments with notice. Changes never re-rate chargers already stamped.

ENDING THE RELATIONSHIP

Either side may end participation at any time. Termination for fraud or program abuse ends all future stamping and may forfeit unpaid commissions tied to the abuse. On ordinary termination, chargers you already deployed keep earning their stamped commissions per these terms for as long as they remain on the network and pay-to-use.

APPLYING

Apply through the qualification form. We review every partner personally and reply within two business days. Approval is at EV Initiative's discretion.
