A brief description of the electric vehicle recharging stations:
Champlain College fully embraces the shift to electric vehicles (EV). This revolution comes in the form of electric cars, electric bikes, electric scooters, and someday electric shuttles. We must balance our support of electric vehicles with our commitment to reducing the drive-alone rate. We currently have two electric vehicle charging stations (which have two plugs each) at Champlain College. They are located at: 1) The Miller Center parking lot at 175 Lakeside Avenue and 2) Miller Information Commons (the library) at 95 Summit Street (also called Cedar Lane), in the parking lot beside Foster Hall. Both stations were installed in partnership with the Burlington Electric Department and are open to the public 24/7. They are operated by Chargepoint and users must have a Chargepoint account to use them. Users pay a per-kilowatt-hour rate. After 4 hours there is an additional $1 per hour rate. Payment for the space is not required.

These employees can also take advantage of Champlain’s Guaranteed Ride Home program, which provides sustainable commuters with a free cab ride home in the event of an emergency. Lastly, there are four preferred parking spots available for plug-in hybrid and fully electric vehicles, as well as free level 1 charging for employees and commuters in select locations.
