Powering Up Progress

As the CSU works toward a more sustainable future, Cal Poly is leading the way and providing yet another benefit for our students, staff, and faculty for making eco-friendly decisions.

Cal Poly community members get an exclusive discounted charging rate at on-campus ChargePoint stations.

With 37 electric vehicle (EV) charging spaces strategically located across campus, powering up has never been more convenient.

Our charging network includes spaces in lot H-2A, the Grand Ave Structure, and Structure 131. No matter where you are on campus, a charging option is readily available to keep you on the move. If all available spaces are occupied, the waitlist feature ensures you get your chance to charge. Simply tap your charge card on the desired station or get in line through your ChargePoint account. You'll be notified when a station becomes available, giving you a specified time to accept the space and plug in seamlessly.

To make this initiative a success, we kindly remind our community to move their vehicles at the end of the charging session. It's crucial to ensure that EV charging spaces are used actively for charging. Additionally, charging spaces are valid for a maximum of 4 hours and a valid Cal Poly parking permit or timed session is required.

Join us in this green journey, and let's work together to promote alternative transportation programs on campus. The ChargePoint charging stations at Cal Poly promote progress, sustainability, and a brighter future for our community.
