Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Locations:
The MBL offers a dual pedestal SemaConnect Charging Station located in the Swope Parking Lot on Millfield Street for its employees, affiliates, visitors, and the general public who have electric vehicles. A campus parking permit is not required when actively charging your vehicle, but is required if you wish to remain parked in the Swope Parking Lot. For guests and affiliates who do not have a parking sticker, you may obtain a parking pass by visiting the Swope Front Desk or by contacting Security.
Parking Fee and Time Limits:
The cost to park at the MBL’s charging station for MBL Employees is $1.35 per hour for the first four hours and $5.00 per hour for each thereafter. For MBL Visitors is $2.00 per hour for the first four hours and $5.00 per hour for each thereafter. For the General Public is $10.00 parking fee and $3.50 per hour for the first four hours and $5.00 per hour for each thereafter. The parking fee will remain in effect from the time you plug your vehicle into the station until the time your vehicle is unplugged. To avoid unnecessary fees please remove your vehicle from the parking spot upon completion.
