It won't in BC unless the current laws change.
British Columbia Hydro and Power Authority Electric Tariff

If a Customer wishes to sell Electricity which the Customer has purchased from BC Hydro to a tenant of that Customer on the same Premises on a metered basis, then the Customer shall agree that the selling price for such Electricity shall not exceed the price which BC Hydro would have charged had that tenant been a Customer of BC Hydro.

That means the rate can't fluctuate regularly because what BC Hydro charges is regulated by the BC Utilities Commission. Nor can the EV charger owner make a profit from selling electricity.
