Electric vehicle parking
Electric vehicle charging stations allow customers to park and charge their cars. Vehicles occupying these spaces must be an electric car or other vehicle capable of using the charging station.
All charging locations are limited to a 4-hour maximum at all times of the day (including nights and weekends).
Charging a vehicle at OHSU
Charging stations do not charge the user. To initiate the charge, most charges can just be plugged into the vehicle.
ChargePoint stations in Garage F require an extra step. Usage instructions.

SemaConnect
- Station will appear blue if available.

Leviton ChargePoint
- There are two ways to initiate a charging session: Swipe a charge card or use the ChargePoint mobile app.
- To use the ChargePoint app, download the app tand create a profile. Once this is created, the user can select the correct nearby station via the in-app mapping system, and then select the "Start Charge" button.
- Charge cards are often distributed to EV owners at the time of purchase, but can also be ordered through chargepoint.com, should an EV owner need/want a new one.
