your neighbourhood.

FAQ
1. What should I do if I arrive to the assigned area and it is a residential address or there is no EV station there?
• First of all, apologies for the inconvenience caused. We ask you to look 50 meters away from the
assigned area to see if you can locate the Business/EV Station. If you can’t find it, please go ahead with the pictures
of whatever is available in the assigned area and complete the session as if you were taking photos of the assigned
business or station. You’ll still be paid for the submission.

• Once you have access to the app, you will be able to see a list
of available areas and each areas will have one or multiple “POIs”, the dollar
amount is for the completion of all POIs within the available area.
