EVs on Campus - ACEP Needs Your Help!

ACEP's Beneficial and Equitable Electrification Initiative is investigating the possibility of installing a Level II electric vehicle charger on the UAF Campus for public use. 

To help determine the best location for a charger, ACEP is asking employees and students at the Troth Yeddha' campus in Fairbanks to fill out a short survey on their likelihood to drive an EV to campus and preferences about parking. If you spend time on campus, please take this survey.

A Level II charger adds about 10 - 20 miles of driving range to an EV per hour of charging , depending on the temperature, and could help regular commuters to campus feel more comfortable driving an EV. Data collected could help ACEP learn more about a charger's performance and energy use in Fairbanks, how these depend on temperature, and could even give insight into the role of EVs in lowering carbon and PM2.5 emissions in Fairbanks.
