You may also be required to provide other forms of verification if requested by Meridian.

If you no longer own an EV or it is no longer primarily charged at the ICP registered on the Plan, then you are no longer eligible for this Plan, and you will be moved to a standard residential plan (at Meridian’s discretion). It’s your responsibility to let us know of this change in circumstance as soon as possible.

Meridian may vary this Plan at any time by posting revised terms and conditions on our website.
