  •  For detailed instructions on how to initiate a charging session through ChargePoint, refer to this quick instructional video.
  •  The level-two stations can deliver approximately 10-20 miles of range per hour of charging.
  •  The spaces are available to vehicles that are actively charging with the use of any university permit.
  •  Highlander Hotel Guests may use the charging stations.     
  • EVC stations are located in Lot DD.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Rates
  •  Fees cover operational and administrative costs. To allow access to as many users as possible, an additional fee will be assessed to fully charged vehicles that     have not been relocated within 15 minutes.
  •  $1 flat-fee plus $0.10/kWh.
  •  When charging is complete, a $2/hour fee is assessed until the vehicle is moved. There is a 15-minute grace period before the fee kicks in.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Questions may be directed to parking@radford.edu
