Electric Vehicles

If you must drive to Stevens, it is better if you do so in an electric vehicle (EV).

Stevens has 9 EV Level 2 charging stations. There are 5 in the Babbio Center Garage and 4 in the Howe Center Lot.

Fee structure:

  • $1.73 per hour for up to the 4-hour charging session limit

  • $4.32 per hour idle fee for the time a user’s vehicle is plugged in after the 4-hour charging session limit (after a 30-minute grace period), to ensure adequate turnover of the EV charging stations for other users

  • A transaction fee of 9% per charging session

  • A sales tax of 6.625% per charging session

After the transaction fee and sales tax, the rate to charge a vehicle is $2.00 per hour and the idle fee is $5.00 per hour.

At the conclusion of the 4-hour charging session, the 30-minute grace period allows a user to unplug and move their vehicle without incurring an additional cost. If the vehicle remains plugged in after the grace period ends, the user will be assessed the idle fee. No charging of the vehicle occurs after 4 hours.

A user only pays for the time their vehicle is plugged in to an EV charging station. For example, a user who charges their vehicle for 2.5 hours will pay the hourly rate for the first two hours and half of the hourly rate for the final 30 minutes. A user whose vehicle is plugged in for 30 minutes of idle time will pay half of the hourly idle fee rate.

EV charging station spaces may be closed for maintenance, construction, and special event parking without notice.

EV Charging Guidelines

  • EV charging station spaces are available to students, employees, and visitors on a first-come, first-served basis during open hours of the parking facilities.

  • Only drivers with valid Stevens parking permits may use the charging stations.

  • Parking in EV charging station spaces is restricted to vehicles plugged in for charging.

  • When the charging session is complete, unplug your vehicle and move it to a standard parking space.

  • There is a 4-hour charging limit; drivers must move their vehicles at the conclusion of the 4 hours even if charging is not complete.

  • Do not charge if you do not need to.  Leave the space free for another EV driver who needs to charge their vehicle.

  • Wind the charging cord neatly and place it back on the charger.
