Hi Bruce and All,
In Tampa, USF has had a 16 unit solar powered EV charging station
with EV's for 30 yrs now and I've used it for 15 yrs when EVing there for
research in their Library.

Got an Electric Car? Going to University? Here Are The Most EV-Friendly Ones
in the U.S.

(NERDS) - Forget the days of driving to university in a beaten up station
wagon. Electric cars are the way to travel (image: Revenge of the Nerds)
(leaf ev) - UC Davis is the most EV-friendly University in the U.S.
(focus ev) - Universities in California, Maryland, Michigan and
Massachusetts take the tope five spots.

There was a time when graduating from high school and starting at University
or College meant it was time to say goodbye to your old friends, pile your
stuff into the back of a beaten-up station-wagon or pickup truck, and head
off on the adventure of your life.
These days, if you’re lucky, there’s a possibility you’re heading to
university this fall in an electric car, either because you’ve chosen a
local university and plan to commute from home every day or because you’re
one of those lucky few who was given a brand-new plug-in car as a graduation
present.
But which schools in the U.S. are most electric car friendly? Which colleges
and university have the best provision for student and faculty electric car
charging? And just how many electric car charging stations are there at
universities across the U.S.?
According to charging provider ChargePoint, the number of electric car
charging stations located at U.S. universities and colleges has risen by an
impressive 35 percent in the past twelve months, up to 1,134 charging
stations this year compared with just 838 last year. Given that the first
charging station installed by ChargePoint at a place of learning was
installed at the end of 2010 at the Pasadena City College, that’s a pretty
impressive growth curve.
Today, UC Davis, California leads the charts when it comes to most electric
car charging provision, with a total of 38 electric car charging stations on
campus. In second place with 36 charging stations on campus, is Towson
University in Maryland.
You’d be forgiven for thinking that Californian universities would dominate
the top five EV-friendly institutions, but only one other Californian
university — Santa Clara University — features in the list with 26 charging
stations. Instead, Western Michigan University comes in fourth place with
22 charging stations, with MIT placing in fifth place with 21 charging
stations.
Although MIT might be a foregone conclusion given its area of expertise,the
University of Western Michigan also has a good reputation for electric
vehicle support. As well as its well-known electrical engineering department
and relative proximity to the Lansing, MI plant where the famed GM EV1 was
made, fifteen of the 22 charging stations on the WMU campus are powered by a
50 kilowatt photovoltaic solar panel array, meaning staff and students can
get a truly zero emissions charge while they work or study.
“American universities are often our hubs of innovation and technology” said
Pasquale Romano, CEO of ChargePoint in an official press release detailing
the top five EV-friendly learning institutions in the U.S. “It is no wonder
adoption of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure has prospered on
college campuses. Our data demonstrates which colleges and universities are
leading the way when it comes to supporting low and zero emission vehicles.
We hope this helps spur friendly competition between campuses to be the
greenest institutions in the world.”
Naturally, there are plenty of other universities and colleges around the
U.S. with electric car charging provision, which ChargePoint says you can
locate using its station locator web app. To find non ChargePoint charging
stations, you can look up your local university on the PlugShare and
OpenChargeMap databases.
Are you heading back to University this fall with an electric car? Or
perhaps someone you know is? Are you studying electric cars as a subject, or
working on some other evolved transportation technology? Or are you perhaps
even at one of those few, privileged schools picked by GM to be custodians
of the famous EV1 electric car?
