Electric vehicle charging stations are available for anyone to use to charge their vehicle. Vehicles must be actively charging and/or waiting for charging in the space for no more than 8 hours. A list of campus charging locations can be found HERE. Please note that as of 10/25/23, there are fees associated with charging in certain spaces.
The below email explains the fees for charging at certain stations:
Dear Friends,
During the past summer Wesleyan installed 16 electrical vehicle charging stations, bringing the total number of chargers on campus to 30. Of the 16 new chargers, 10 are high-capacity Level 2 chargers, which can charge an average electrical vehicle in approximately three hours and the other six are Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFC) (also called Level 3 chargers), which can charge an average electric vehicle in 50 minutes.
The University will charge a flat rate of $0.25 per kWh for the new high-capacity Level 2 chargers and $0.40 per kWh for the DC fast chargers. If after a two-hour grace period you are still parked in a charging spot when you’ve completed charging your vehicle, you will be charged a nominal fee by the hour. We want to make sure that charging stations are available to everyone who might need one.
These charges will be subject to change as the market for car charging evolves. Free chargers are still available near the College of Film and the Moving Image (T-Lot) and Freeman Athletic Center (Q-Lot). See all charging station locations.
The new charges, which are in line with charging fees in local municipalities, is effective immediately. Users may pay at the charging station by either using the FLO app, available on the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store, or by purchasing a FLO card. To learn more visit flo.com.
Thank you for your partnership as we work towards creating a more environmentally sustainable community.
Best regards,
Andrew Plotkin
Director of Utilities and Infrastructure
Public Safety Services:
If someone loses their keys, they may request that Public Safety boot their vehicle to prevent it from being stolen for a short time until the keys are found or the vehicle rekeyed. There is no charge for this!
Please note that Public Safety will no longer conduct Motor Vehicle Lockouts due to increased liability. We can assist by responding to the scene, assisting with contacting local shops, AAA, etc, but will not perform Motor Vehicle Lockouts.
If you have a traditional gasoline powered vehicle where we can jump start via the battery directly (not jump posts), Public Safety can try to jump start your vehicle. Hybrid and EV’s will no longer be jump started by Public Safety due to the increasing complexity of these vehicles and variations amongst them. Public Safety can assist in responding, assisting with contacting shops, etc. as with lock outs
For any of these services, your vehicle should be registered
Please click the link below to register your vehicle. Make sure you indicated the dates you need the permit for and who you are visiting on campus. Failure to do so will delay the processing of your permit!
