EV Charging Stations

Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s, Parking and Transportation Services is pleased to announce the pilot program rollout of four Electric Vehicle charging stations. The chargers are located on surface lots and are open to the public. Two EV chargers are located in Lot 113 at the corner of Pierce Avenue and 21st Avenue. Two additional EV chargers are located off of Dixie Place between the Central Garage and the Oxford House (Additional EV charging locations are being planned for the South, West, 25th Avenue Garages and the Shuttle Lot.).
These stations will be used as a “topping off” charge to help decrease range anxiety for patients, visitors, staff and people in the surrounding areas. During the pilot program charging will be limited to two hours in order to give as much access to as many users as possible. The EV chargers will be operational 24 hours a day 7 days a week. There will be no cost to the user during the pilot program.

The Blink chargers, manufactured by ECOtality, are level 2 chargers and support vehicles with the SAE J1772 connector.As managers of The EV Project, ECOtality is overseeing the $230 million public-private initiative, which is funded with a $114.8 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

To use the Blink chargers users will need to register through the Blink Network and request a RFID card to activate the charging station. The Blink Network also has maps to other EV charging stations located throughout the country that can be accessed by web or by smartphones with the Blink Network mobile app.
