Set Up the ChargePoint App
Connecting to our campus stations is fast, digital, and entirely driver-managed. Notre Dame utilizes the ChargePoint network to power our stations, meaning you will need to initialize a digital profile before plugging your vehicle in for the first time. Below, we have mapped out the quick activation sequence to get you started, including links to download the app, steps to add your payment method, and how to verify your Notre Dame affiliate status to unlock campus-specific rates.
UPDATE: As of Monday, August 10, 2026, and as part of the University's ongoing commitment to maintaining and improving electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, the University of Notre Dame will transition to a pay-to-charge model for commuter EV charging stations. Read more

Charging for Visitors
Use of University EV charging stations within faculty, staff, and/or student parking lots is limited to those ND employees and students displayng a valid University parking permit. Visitors seeking EV charging options may utilize off-campus charging resources. Limited EV charging stations may be available in visitor lots. When available, visitors may use these stations, but must pay to park, in addition to utilizing the charging station. Payment is required via Park Mobile during regular business hours. Availability of visitor charging resources is subject to change as campus infrastructure is updated.
