Supporting Your Sustainable Commute to Campus
From electric vehicle charging stations to carpool options, explore all of the resources Humber has to offer you a sustainable way to get to campus and around the city.
Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Humber has 46 electric vehicle (EV) dual charging stations across its campuses. The first four charging hours are free and usual parking fees apply. Advance spot reservation is not required.
To use the EVs:
- Download the ChargePoint app and enter your credit card information. You will not be charged for the first four hours of complimentary charging.
