Green Bay, WI — The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay has announced the installation of new electric vehicle charging stations on its campus. This initiative is part of the university's ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

The project was made possible through a donation from an alumnus, enabling faculty, staff, and community members to charge their electric vehicles on campus. Two ChargePoint electric vehicle charging stations are being installed; one is already operational at Cort Condon Hall, while another will be set up in The Weidner’s Lot A in the coming months.

Adam Neveau, associate director of Housing and Residential Education at UW-Green Bay, stated: “As more students are bringing EV and PHEV vehicles to campus, it is exciting to be able to give them the opportunity to charge right here on campus and contribute to the sustainability mission of the university.”

These additions bring the total number of electric vehicle chargers in Green Bay to over 35. By providing these facilities, UW-Green Bay aims to encourage the use of electric vehicles, which helps reduce emissions and supports a cleaner environment.

The charging ports are part of ChargePoint's 6000 Series with Level 2 AC Charging capabilities. They are available for use by all community members at a fee of $0.25 per kWh as required by Wisconsin regulations. Users can access waitlisting features, pricing information, and customer support via the ChargePoint app.

UW-Green Bay serves over 11,000 students across four campuses in Northeast Wisconsin and offers a wide range of academic programs. Since its establishment in 1965, it has been known for fostering innovative thinking and educational growth.
