EV (electric vehicle) charging
Electric vehicle (EV) charging stations are located near the entrances of select campus parking facilities.
Who can use campus EV chargers
- Parking permit holders: Use the charging stations in your assigned parking facility. If your assigned lot does not have a charger, you may relocate to another facility with charging stations and park as a visitor (pull a ticket).
- Visitors (No UW parking permit): Use any available charging station in lot with visitor parking availability. Check the visitor parking availability tool beforehand to ensure the garage isn’t full.

We recommend ending your session, unplugging your vehicle and moving to another parking location as soon as possible after charging completes.
