Bike Racks
Bike racks are located around campus to encourage bike travel. The University also has a robust system of on- and off-campus shuttles. In late 2022, the University added charging stations for electric vehicles in two locations on campus.
EV Charging Stations
As part of the University’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and energy conservation, I am pleased to announce that as of Spring 2023 we have eight new level 2 electric vehicle charging stations located on campus, along with future plans to add more.
These new charging stations are now available to all students, faculty, and staff who have made their own commitment to sustainability by driving electric-powered vehicles. Supporting this commitment, the University is proud to offer the use of these new charging stations to faculty, staff, and students free of charge.
These stations pictured below are located in the and in the .
Using the stations is very simple. Users will need to create their own account through , which is one of the world’s largest electric vehicle charging companies, with more than 200,000 charge points across the globe. While use of the stations is free to campus users, you will be asked to provide a payment method (Credit Card, PayPal, or Apple Pay) when creating a new account.
Upon creating an account, users should:
- Click “connections” and then enter the code UNH1920.
- Enter your name, University of New 51 email address, and your vehicle license plate.
After completing these steps, you will receive an email from ChargePoint that your connection to use a charger station on campus has been approved.
Users can also from the App Store on your iPhone or via Google Play to start charging or to receive notifications when your car is done charging or when a charging station is available for use.
Charging time is limited to four hours, which should be more than sufficient to fully charge your vehicle. A nominal fee of $5 will be charged to your account for each hour after four hours of use. This is to encourage sharing of the charging stations and to insure ample availability to all users.
