Faculty, staff, students, and visitors on the Blacksburg campus now have access to two new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations located on level 1 of the Perry Street Parking Garage (1330 Perry Street). Each charging station has two plugs, for a total capacity of four vehicles.

These level two ChargePoint charging stations can deliver a power output of approximately 4.2 kilowatts per hour. To use the chargers, drivers must download the ChargePoint mobile app and sign up for a free account. For help getting started, refer to this quick instructional video.
