Electric vehicle charging
The University has an electric vehicle charging unit situated in the North car park, based on Stag Hill campus.
The Papillio 3 charging hub is available for staff and students to use, as well as visitors to the University. Anyone wishing to charge their vehicles will need to bring a charging cable.
Staff and students can get a discounted rate of 48p/kWh by setting up payment via the Fuuse app. You will also need to send your name and email address used to set up the Fuuse app to sustainability@surrey.ac.uk. It may take up to five working days to authorise use for the preferential rate.
You will eventually be able to charge without the app at the standard rate of 60p/kWh using a debit or credit card - launch to be confirmed.
The unit is operational 24 hours a day, but restrictions apply on weekdays between 5pm and 7pm during which the hub will provide limited charge.
Users are asked to only charge for 4 hours a day to allow others to charge. Penalties could be applied if users go beyond this time.
Any users of the hub who do not have a valid car parking permit will need to pay for parking via the RingGo app whilst charging.
It is recommended that you review the attached presentation for full details on how to use the charging hub. Any questions, please contact the Sustainability team.
