Do I need to pay to charge my EV?
Yes on November 1, 2019, Cal State East Bay began charging for use of all Electric Vehicle Charging ports located on the Hayward and Concord locations. The charge is necessary to cover costs to the University associated with electricity, maintenance and equipment damage. To use ChargePoint EV charging stations, users must first sign up for a ChargePoint account online at www.chargepoint.com or call 1-888-758-4389 for driver support.
CSUEB Faculty, Staff and Students will receive a discounted rate.*
The charging rates are as follows:
Community Members (Non-CSUEB): $0.40 kWh
CSUEB Affiliate (Faculty, Staff, Students & Auxiliary Employees): $0.32 kWh*
*See Step 3 below. We worked with Chargepoint to set up a web page where all University faculty, staff & students can go and enter a valid University email address along with a unique University code that we will provide. Our office will receive a notification to verify that the user is associated with the University. Once approved and we will contact you and the lower $0.32/kWH rate will be charged anytime the Chargepoint card associated is used to charge a vehicle on campus. Those that do not go through that step, will be charged at the community member rate of $0.40/kWh.
University Students, Faculty, Staff and Auxiliary Employees ($0.32/kWh)
Currently enrolled university students, faculty active on payroll, university staff and auxiliary employees are eligible for EV charging at the reduced rate of $0.32 per kWh with the CSUEB Connection (see Step 3).
Community Members, Guests and Visitors ($0.40 per kWh)
Community members, campus guests and visitors may charge their electric vehicles at the guest rate of $0.40 per kWh in addition to the required CSUEB parking fees. Please visit the Parking Permit page for the most current parking prices. This EV charging rate will apply to all other users not mentioned above including but not limited to Vendor, Volunteer, Emeriti, Chancellor's Office, other CSU employees, etc.
