EV Charging
Supporting Sustainable Transportation
Campus Auxiliary Services provides a series of electric vehicle charging stations throughout the SUNY New Paltz campus through the ChargePoint network.
These Level 2 charging stations are available for use by faculty, staff, students, and visitors, supporting the campus commitment to environmental sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.

Part of Campus Sustainability Plan
The EV charging stations are one of many sustainable transportation options at SUNY New Paltz, which also include a bike share program, new bike racks across campus, a Zipcar rental program for students, and the New Paltz Loop Bus with weekend service. These initiatives support the Campus Sustainability Plan signed in 2012 and help create a new car-culture on campus focused on environmentally-friendly transportation choices.
Charge NY Initiative
SUNY New Paltz is proud to participate in Charge NY, a statewide initiative creating a network of EV charging stations throughout New York State.
Led by the New York Power Authority (NYPA) and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), Charge NY provides the necessary infrastructure to allow New York residents to take advantage of recent advances in electric transportation technologies.
The program supports the broader goal of getting more electric vehicles on the road and reducing overall gasoline consumption, contributing to cleaner air and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
