EV Charging Stations

ESF’s Syracuse campus features a robust electric vehicle charging network of 22 ports.

Charging stations (8 ports) located in Lot P22 are open to the public 24/7. Stations located by the Physical Plant, Baker Laboratory, Marshall Hall, and between Bray and Walters Halls are reserved for use by ESF Parking Permit holders

Close to 70% of this project’s cost was funded through National Grid’s Make Ready Program. Station pricing is set by location, with Lot P22 stations charging $.43/kWh and stations located by campus buildings charging $.28/kWh (with a $.50/hour overstay fee). Overstay fees are assessed when a vehicle is plugged into a station, but not drawing a charge (ex: battery is full). This pricing is set to recoup the costs of station warranty, network services, and electricity.

Take a Deeper Dive

Want to really dig into the design, construction, installation and cost of this project? We were featured in a ChargePoint webinar:

Members of the campus community who drive a plug-in vehicle are encouraged to email the Office of Sustainability with a request to be added to our ChargePoint system as a “connected” driver. This helps us get a sense of how many EV drivers there are on campus. Connected drivers are also added to our EV listserv (you can opt out at any time) and are not assessed a $.25 ChargePoint Service per session fee for station use.
