Stanford Univ installs new EV Charging Stations

Category: Clean Cities Blog

Parking & Transportation Services has installed six new J1722 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations on campus. Two new charging stations were installed at each of these locations: Parking Structure 5, Stanford Visitor Center, and Tresidder Memorial Union. (View Stanford's Parking & Circulation Map [PDF]).

The charging session fee is $3 per hour. The pricing is designed to manage demand and encourage multiple short-duration charging sessions (for example, campus visitors or commuters who may occasionally need to "top off" their battery, as opposed to an all-day charge for a single vehicle).

Customers make payments through the ChargePoint network, which accepts payments via ChargePass Cards and contactless credit cards, or by phone using a standard credit card.

The chargers were provided through a Department of Energy grant to the ChargePoint America program. New chargers have the SAE J1772 connector for 240V charging, which is the new standard adopted by automobile manufacturers, as well as standard 120V outlets. These chargers are compatible with the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, and upcoming models, such as the plug-in Prius. One 240V SPI charger, compatible with older-generation electric vehicles, also remains available at Parking Structure 5.
