Survey open on electric vehicle charger
May 7, 2021
The Beneficial and Equitable Electrification Initiative by UAF's Alaska Center for Energy and Power is investigating the possibility of installing a Level II electric vehicle charger on the Fairbanks 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.
