Bowdoin Sustainability Adds More Electric Vehicle (EV) Chargers
Anticipating a rising need for chargers as more people drive EVs, Bowdoin has added four more charging spots on campus.
The multi-port ChargePoint chargers, which are in the parking lot next to the Roux Center for the Environment, allow up to four vehicles to plug in at the same time.
To help cover the roughly $30,000 expense of the chargers which included electrical and site work Bowdoin received a $10,000 grant from Efficiency Maine. A quasi-state agency with oversight from the Maine Public Utilities Commission, Efficiency Maine is the state’s sole administrator for energy efficiency programs that provide financial incentives to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gases in Maine.
