Electric vehicle charging stations

Using the electric vehicle charging stations on campus will cost $3 an hour to charge your vehicle on campus. Note: The hourly fee will apply the entire time the vehicle is plugged in, even after a vehicle is fully charged. Drivers should move their vehicles after charging is complete to allow others the opportunity to use the system.

Payments must be made directly through the ChargePoint app. You’ll need to download and install the app on your mobile device, and create an account before using a charger on campus.

For detailed instructions on how to use the chargers, see the EV driver support page on the ChargePoint website.

Important notes and guidelines

    • You must have a valid parking permit or day pass properly displayed when parking in an EV charging parking stall and/or using an EV charger.
        • Permit holders with card access can pick up an EV dashboard pass at the Parking Office to display in their vehicle to show proof of a valid permit and avoid ticketing.
        • Permit holders with a valid hang tag for a different lot may park in the EV charging stall while they are using the chargers, if their hang tag is displayed.
    • Any unauthorized or improperly parked motor vehicle will be ticketed at the vehicle owner’s risk and expense.
