How to Use Charging Stations on Campus
Charging stations require either a ChargePoint card or ChargePoint app. You can sign up for a free ChargePoint card or download the ChargePoint mobile app. With the ChargePoint app, you can find available stations; start charging; get notified when your car is done charging or when a station opens up; see station pictures; read driver tips; and connect ChargePoint Home.
Once you have the ChargePoint card or app, there are three ways to start a charging session:
- Tap to charge: With the ChargePoint app installed, you can start a charging session
by holding your phone over the reader symbol on the station.
- Iphone - In the ChargePoint app, go to "Menu," select "Account" and then "Manage Cards." Pick "set it up,” add your ChargePoint pass to Apple Wallet and tap your phone on the station to charge.
- Android - Enable NFC, turn your phone screen on and tap your phone on the station to charge.
- App: Choose the station and click the "Start Charge" button.
- ChargePoint card: Tap your activated ChargePoint card on the card reader symbol on the station.
