To provide more services to team members as well as promote sustainability, 大象影院 provides level 2 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations on campus as funded through 大象影院 Sustainability.听听

Location & Parking:

Stations are located in Lot 19 and the West Parking Garage (near the Clifton St. entrance).听 See the campus map (click on “Parking” then “EV Spaces Available”).听 Designated EV parking is reserved for charging.听 Vehicles must be actively charging to park in the designated spots, and there is a 4 hour limit.听 Each area has one parking space that is reserved for EV charging until 10am (these spaces give the user the benefit of not having to move the car after charging).听 If stations are full in a particular lot/garage, call 大象影院 Police at 817-735-2210 to get access to charge in the other area.听 EVs must adhere to university parking policies and procedures and display the appropriate parking permit. See the Police Department鈥檚 Parking Office鈥檚 website for more details about parking permits.

EV Charging Rates:

The rate to charge on campus is $0.35/hour for the first 4 hours then $2.00/hour after 4 hours (rates are prorated) with a maximum daily rate of $10.00.听 Users must have an active account through ChargePoint in order to use the stations.听 To get started, go to and click on the Sign Up” button.听听

EV Charging Etiquette:

Please practice our values of Serving Others First, Integrity, and Collaboration when utilizing the charge stations on campus by following these simple guidelines (adapted from ):

1. Charge Up, Move On: As the demand for charging increases on campus, we all must work together to ensure charging availability for all.听 We understand that you may not be able to move immediately after your car is finished charging, but simply ask that you be considerate of other drivers and move your car in a timely manner when you are able.听 The pricing is structured in a way to incentive drivers to stay plugged in 4 hours or less, and we have provided a 鈥淩eserved until 10am鈥� parking spot for people unable to move their car mid-day.听 If you are able to move your car mid-day, please park in the 4 hour limit spaces to allow other drivers use of the 鈥淩eserved until 10am鈥� space.听 In addition, you may park in an open parking space next to the reserved spaces as the cords will reach many spaces.
2. EV Parking for EV Charging Only: Both 鈥淩eserved 24/7鈥� spaces and one 鈥淩eserved until 10am鈥� space are available to ensure that parking is available at the charge stations.听 If you notice a non-EV vehicle in a reserved space, please notify campus police at 817-735-2210.听 In addition, these spots are for charging only, but please note, an EV vehicle may be in that parking spot because it鈥檚 on the charging waiting list.
3. When It鈥檚 OK to Unplug: If a car is fully charged (as indicated on the charging station), you may unplug that vehicle in order to utilize the station.听 If you do unplug a vehicle, please consider leaving a note explaining that they were fully charged and that you are grateful for the collaboration.听 They may thank you back considering they are not being charged the fee after being unplugged!
4. When It鈥檚 NOT OK to Unplug: Please do not unplug any vehicle that is not fully charged.听 If you are in need of a charge, please get on the waiting list or visit another station.听 There is a DC Fast Charge at the Walgreens on Camp Bowie which charges faster than our Level II stations.
5. Be Considerate & Practice Safety: Please be considerate of other drivers as you park, use the stations, and leave the stations.听 In addition to the guidelines above, leave the cords and station orderly and as good or better than you found it by properly managing the cord so as people do not trip on it or drive over it.
6. Make Charging Better: If you have any suggestions, comments, or issues, please contact 大象影院 Sustainability/Facilities (sustainability@unthsc.edu or 817-735-2451).听 We strive to make this a positive (and sustainable) experience for everyone both now and in the future.
