EV Charging Stations on Campus

California has a goal to have five million Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEVs) on the road by 2030, roughly 1/3 of California’s registered vehicles. Since the transportation industry in California accounts for 40% of the greenhouse gases (GHGs) in California, achieving these goals will have a huge impact on reducing GHGs.
