Electric Charging Stations

A mounted electric car charging station.

NC State University welcomes employees and students using electric vehicles. We encourage their use to reduce campus air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. We offer several charging stations across campus. Please see the location map to find your closest charging station.

All stations require a ChargePoint card or a ChargePoint Mobile App for your Smartphone.

Convenient charging rates are available for determined driver groups. To navigate the different rates, please select the connection that best fits your profile. Only one connection can be assigned to each driver. To change it, please contact us at trn-evparking@ncsu.edu.
