Electric Powered Vehicles

The Parking and Transportation Services Office offers select charging spaces to individuals who drive Alternate Powered Vehicles to campus.

For purposes of enforcement, an Electric Powered Vehicle is defined as a vehicle that is solely powered by an electric motor. Please note that hybrid gasoline-electric vehicles do not qualify as Electric Powered Vehicles under this definition.

EV Charging Space Locations

Our charging locations are undergoing an update! They will soon only employ J1772 connectors. If you are not able to use that connector type, you will need to use an adapter to utilize our chargers. 

Once a charging session is complete, the vehicle must be moved from the space. Vehicles occupying a space without an active charging session will be subject to citation. Idle fees will be assessed at the new stations after fifteen (15) minutes of charge completion.

To use the new chargers, please download the Autel Charge app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

By using the electric vehicle chargers at Florida Atlantic University, you agree to follow the university's parking rules and regulations here. 

These spaces are enforced twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. They require a valid FAU e-Permit (faculty, staff, and students) or an active ParkMobile parking session (visitors). See how to obtain permits here. 

Vehicle that do not follow the rules and regulations are subject to being fined and/or towed at the owner's expense. No back-in parking; vehicles must be parked nose in at all times. There must be a current active charging session to be parked in an electric vehicle charging space.

Please be courteous and park appropriately. Park in the space that the charger cords correspond to. Do not cross over parking spaces. Once your charge is complete, please place the cord back on its hook for the next driver.
