*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.

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).
