Electric vehicles

The University already has many spaces available for charging your electric vehicle, see Campus Map. The University Travel plan sets out clear targets to support the shift towards electric vehicles, and we will continue to incentivise this with the offer of upgraded charging facilities. All charging facilities are provided via the ROAM EV app. Users must have an account to access the points.

EV charging bays are available on a first come, first served basis but we ask that once your charge has completed to please move your vehicle to allow others to utilise the charge points. Vehicles that block points for over an hour may be subject to additional charges.

Cost to use points

The cost is 32p/kWh Incl. VAT (This is the actual cost to LU to provide the electricity). This will be reviewed quarterly, and any changes will be communicated.
