Commercial EV Charging for Schools
EV Charging Solutions Where Education Thrives
EV charging on campus is in demand. Meet student, faculty, staff, and fleet needs with on-campus EV charging.
Electric vehicle prices are finally within reach of millennial and Gen Z buyers, meaning EVs are increasingly showing up on campus. From faculty and staff to the growing number of students driving their own EVs to campus, commercial EV charging stations will receive plenty of use.
In fact, 75% of high school students said a college’s commitment to an environment was a significant factor in their school choice. Because many colleges and universities are focusing on decreasing their carbon footprints, measures to help reduce that impact are a priority. From electrifying fleets for university services and student shuttles to providing EV charging stations for EV drivers, the green revolution is officially on campus. Are you ready?

An Educated Move for Sustainability and Smart Move for Revenue
Public EV charging on campus is a great way for schools to realize a new revenue stream. Parking passes, with tiered fee structures, and other paid parking opportunities are already well-established on campuses. Colleges, universities, and professional or trade schools can simply add a choice for an EV parking pass featuring free parking for a set amount of time or a set number of charging hours per semester.
What about remaining parked after the time limit is reached? A robust charging platform management system lets you set fee structures based on a driver’s status (faculty/staff, student, visitor), lot location, and even time of day. You can even set special event fee schedules for sporting events, concerts, academic conferences, and more to maximize your potential revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does installation work?
Use your preferred local installation vendor or NovaCHARGE® will bring in vetted professionals to ensure that your site can be optimized for EV charging. Installation decisions are based on factors such as the capacity of the electrical service as well as the practical layout of the property.
Will I have to do construction?
That depends on the solutions you choose and existing infrastructure. Preparing for an increase in EV drivers by making additional parking spaces EV-ready with conduit and electrical wiring connected to a power source. Installing multiple units at once can lead to a lower per-unit cost.
