Sustainable Transportation Options

Biking

Our campus sure is beautiful and many students, staff and faculty choose to bike to school or work. If you’re thinking about getting a workout in on your way to campus, we have over 30 bike racks on the main and east campus that you are more than welcome to use in order to safely secure your bike. Check out this Brock News story to learn more about bike lanes that lead right into the university.

Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Brock University has 22 electric vehicle chargers (EVCs) across campus and the first one was installed in 2013.

Where can I charge my electric car?

The first charging station is located in front of the main entrance of the International Building on Brock’s east campus on Norman Road. This was partially gifted to the University by Sun Country Highway. Since its installation, multiple ports have been added across various parking lots throughout campus.

The majority of Brock’s EVCs are Level 2, 90 Amp units, that provide up to 90 kms of travel on a one-hour charge on select e-vehicles. We also provide a couple Level 3 charging stations – one unit in front of the International Building and another outside of the Roy and Lois Cairns Health & Biosciences Complex.

Parking Services provides an EVC map detailing all public charging locations on campus.

USING THE SPACE

Users must have the appropriate license plate on their electric vehicle in order to use the parking spot to charge up. Brock permit holders can use EVCs at no additional fee. Please move your car as soon as it is charged to allow others to use it.

ChargePoint Electric Vehicle Charging Stations will require separate payment through the ChargePoint app. All vehicles charging are subject to Brock University Rules and Regulations and must validate their parking with any valid Brock University parking permit or a form of payment accepted in that lot.

This space should not be used for loading/unloading or as a passenger pick-up or drop-off area. Unauthorized vehicles parked in the EVC Stations risk being ticketed and/or towed.
