Latest information on charging electric cars at the University

On 1 September 2023, the University introduced electric vehicle (EV) charging in its car parks. Since then, parking permit holders have been able to charge their cars at the University’s 28 charging points for a fee.

By scanning the QR code at the charging point with their smartphone, users can conveniently pay by credit card or PayPal without having to register in advance.

Until January 2024, the price stood at 51.14 cents per kilowatt-hour (ct/kWh); it has since been reduced to 39.77 ct/kWh. As of 1 July 2026, the University will have to raise the price to 68.10 ct/kWh in order to cover its costs. The surcharge of 5.00 ct/kWh from the 241st minute onwards, which had been introduced when EV charging was first rolled out at the University, has since been abolished.

Please note that charging electric vehicles via standard mains sockets is not permitted anywhere on the University's campus.

As we have received a number of enquiries on this matter, we should also point out that we are unable to offer electric vehicle roaming, as the University’s car parks are not designated as public – a fundamental requirement on the part of e-mobility providers for roaming.
