Electric Vehicle Parking

RIT has several areas with Level II Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. The stations are located in D Lot, L Lot, M Lot, and T Lot. Anyone with an EV can utilize the spaces to charge with an active ParkMobile session.$.50 per hour for the first 4 hours, then the price escalates to $4.00 per hour for each additional hour. When done charging, community members must park according to their parking permit or utilize a ParkMobile session. Visitors and Guests would be required to have a visitors pass or utilize a ParkMobile session. 

Resident Students may use the Electric Vehicle charging stations with an active ParkMobile session.  Students are not permitted to trickle charge electric vehicles at their apartment complex.

RIT requests that electric car users limit their charging time to four hours maximum so that others can have access to them. If needing to move your car, please park it according to your permit or other designated ParkMobile options, just not in those spaces so others can utilize the chargers.

Here are some EV charging etiquette tips that we recommend everyone follow. Some of the charging stations are associated with the Chargepoint network and a Chargepoint card and account are necessary to activate the charging unit. No fee is associated with registering with Chargepoint for use of the RIT charging units.
