Electrical Vehicle (EV) Parking

All vehicles plugged into the Electrical Vehicle (EV) chargers must pay to park on college property via HonkMobile.

Any compatible Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) or EVs can charge their vehicle at a ChargePoint electric vehicle charging station. All stations are publicly accessible. 

EV charging stations are available on college properties:

  • Welland Campus: in Lot G. 
  • NOTL in front of the Marotta Family Innovation Complex in lot B and behind the Residence building. 

Anyone using a charging station, except for students, must pay to charge their vehicle; payment must be made through the ChargePoint app. All EV charger users must sign up for a ChargePoint account.

  3. Users will need to input a credit card, Google Pay, or Apple Pay information into the ChargePoint app to use the chargers
  4. All other users (e.g., visitors) are required to use ChargePoint and will be charged the regular rate.

Using the EV Chargers:

  1. Users’ phones will need to have the Near Field Communication (NFC) setting on their phone turned on, but the ChargePoint app does not need to be open.
  2. Users will scan their phone at the charger and follow the directions on the charger screen.
  3. The ChargePoint app will send a notification to the user’s phone when their vehicle is fully charged.
  4. To ensure adequate charging spots for all users, staff and students will be charged an idle fee after 45 minutes of being plugged in with a full vehicle charge. All other users will be charged a fee after 30 minutes.
  5. ChargePoint fees continue to accumulate after the battery is fully charged and only stops once the vehicle is unplugged.
  6. For inquiries or issues related to EV charging station contact Parking Services at: 905-735-2211 ext. 7407.
