Parking and Transit Services now provides access to electric vehicle charging stations on campus. Funding to install the stations was provided through grants from Nebraska Department of Environmental Energy and Lincoln Electric System.
On City Campus, four charging stations are located on 14th Street in parking spots west of Howard L. Hawks Hall. On East Campus, two charging stations are available north of the Union.
The charging stations are powered by EV Connect. The EV Connect app lets drivers find electric vehicle charging stations based on location, station ID, availability, power level provided, and accessibility.
Start charge sessions by scanning QR codes or entering the desired station ID in the app. During the launch process, use your university email address for a 50 percent discount in charging fees.
The EV Connect phone links are:
• Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evconnect.ionic
• Apple - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ev-connect/id1197712470
EV Connect allows users to monitor charge sessions in real time, get phone notifications when the EV charge is complete, and make secure payments. Depending on the vehicle and battery level, it can take three to four hours to fully charge a vehicle.
Campus stations are available 24 hours a day for use by the campus community and general public.
The cost for a charge is $1.50 an hour. Once charging is complete, the rate increases to $3 an hour.
Vehicles should be moved immediately after the charging process is completed.
