# Electric Vehicle Charging

Seneca has Electric Vehicle chargers at several campuses

As the effects of green house gases in our atmosphere mount, it is becoming increasingly important for individuals and institutions to take action towards reducing their carbon footprint. This is why we are excited to announce a pilot initiative that is aimed at offering reduced EV charging rates for our Level 2 chargers across King, Newnham, and Peterborough campuses.

Starting March 21 , 2024

| Peterborough Campus, Parking lot | 2 | 6.2kW | $2/hr | $1.75/hr | $2.75/hr | $2.25/hr |

Do note - While charging, EVs are not subject to Seneca parking rates.

Through this initiative we are not only making it more affordable for our community to switch to eco-friendly transportation, but we are also promoting a greener and an accessible Seneca"

Seneca students and employees should take advantage of these lower charging rates by connecting with Seneca through the Chargepoint app \(Seneca credentials required\).

After your vehicle is fully charged, a higher rate will apply.
