Prepaid Unlimited EV Battery Charging - Pilot Program
Drive your vehicle up to one of our electric vehicle (EV) charging stations and enjoy the convenience of pre-paid, unlimited charging time for the single assigned vehicle only. The UCSB-EV Power permit covers the cost of power only and you will still need a valid parking permit to park on the UCSB campus.
Please be advised that the UCSB EV Power Permit is a pilot program that is subject to change or cancellation with 30-day notice.

Who is Eligible
If you have an “A”, “B” annual permit and a plug-in vehicle you are pre-qualified for the UCSB-EV permit.
How to Apply
Apply online or visit us in person at the Parking Services Sales Office in Parking Lot 30 across the street from Harder Stadium on Stadium Rd.
When to Renew
The EV power permit expires on June 30 of odd-numbered years.
Price and Payment Options
There are two options for charging plug-in electric vehicles on campus (ChargePoint or Trickle-Charge)
ChargePoint
ChargePoint Charging Stations provide up to up to 6.6kW/h in Lots 10, 18, 22, 57, 59 and 60 require a valid parking permit for the parking lot and payment for power through ChargePoint per kilowatt hour (subject to change as power costs fluctuate).
Here is a video on the How to charge video from ChargePoint.
Trickle Charge and EV Power Permits
Trickle Charge provides up to 1.9kW/h and requires an EV Power Permit. EV Power Permits can be purchased in 4 hour increments or long-term. Long-term EV power permits allow unlimited trickle-charging of the one vehicle specifically linked to the Long-Term EV power permit at our trickle-charge Level 2 (240V 8A) spaces as listed below on the right-side column

The cost of an UCSB-EV power permit is over and above the price to park at UCSB and corresponds to the capacity of the vehicle’s battery.
Trickle charge rates are $1 for each 4 hour increments payable at the permit pay station on the first floor of parking structure 10 or at the long-term rates. Below you will find examples of some common plug-in vehicle makes and models. Their rated usable battery capacities relates their corresponding long-term EV power permit fees at the non-ChargePoint trickle-charge locations only.

If you pay for your parking permit via pretax payroll deduction (PRD), you might consider enrolling in PRD for the EV power permit as well. This is not a requirement. TPS also accepts payment by cash, debit/credit card, or a check made payable to UC Regents.
A permit purchased after June 30 is prorated and the appropriate fee charged for the months remaining until June 30 ending in an odd-numbered year.
Permit Returns and Refunds
Annual permits that are not being used must be returned to Parking Services to qualify for a refund base on the unused calendar months in the future. See here for more information about our permit return policy.
