You can monitor charging station occupancy on THIS WEBSITE. On this site you can see if there are any available plugs.

• If the plug number shows green and connected, it means there is a vehicle currently connected to the plug.

• If the plug number indicates ‘disconnected’ that means the plug is not being used.

When you register your car for the first time, then you will be asked for a payment method.

Yes, you can! It is compatible with our chargers!

You can check the charging status at http://www.slrpev.com/ where you started your charging session.

When you register, then we will request:

• Your name

• Phone number

• Email

• Vehicle Make & Model

• License Plate Number

• Payment info, which is processed by Stripe and not accessible to the researchers

When you charge, then we will collect:

• Charging and connection start/end times

• Your charging service choice

The impact on battery life is no different than charging at home or another public charging station with Level 2 (i.e. 6.6 kW) power.

You can select how many miles of range to add and the departure time. NOTE: Please refer to your vehicle owner's manual for recommendations on setting your charging limit.

Yes, you're more than welcome to come aboard!

No, you do not need to take a full charge! Before you start charging, you will have the option of selecting the added range in miles you need.

When you start the charging service, you will have a planned departure time and your vehicle will be charged by that time. After that departure time, you will incur a fee per minute of overstay. To avoid overstay fees, you will have to move your car at the departure time.

Refer to Pricing for the charging options and prices.

Participants will be notified of pricing changes by email. Also, you may check the current pricing policy on the Pricing webpage.

Flexible charging allows us to reduce peak loads on the grid, thus reducing usage of natural gas "peaker" power plants. This reduces greenhouse gas emissions. There is also reduced curtailment of solar / wind at times when there is more clean energy being generated than needed.
