Electric Car Chargers
EV Charging Stations
In an effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and assist a campus wide shift to the use of renewable resources, a research group led by Steven Low, professor of computer science and electrical engineering in the engineering and applied science division, has installed electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for use by all Caltech and JPL personnel and visitors. The stations, some of which are ADA-accessible, were first installed in the California Parking Structure in February of 2018.
There are 141 Level 2 and 6 Level 3 (DC) chargers on campus (see locations below). A Caltech parking permit is required to use the EV charging stations. The charging stations are managed by an outside vendor, PowerFlex Systems, through a smartphone app.
The charging costs for the campus chargers will increase effective January 1, 2025. For details on the cost increase, please see the memo from the AVP of Facilities.
