EV Projects

UC San Diego is San Diego's largest public charging hub. This network supports our neighbors, including residents of nearby multifamily housing developments that lack EV infrastructure, in addition to supporting UC San Diego commuters and fleet vehicles. It also serves as a living lab for our partners in UC San Diego’s Center for Energy Research and Deep Decarbonization Initiative.

Together, we’re demonstrating how we can make our infrastructure smarter, shape consumer behavior to improve environmental and economic outcomes and create a more equitable community where all can share in the benefits of green infrastructure investment.

We encourage you to learn more about campus green energy infrastructure being deployed by Strategic Energy Initiatives and Utilities & Sustainability. Explore the sections below for information about our upcoming EV projects.

Due to different timelines for different awards, target delivery dates may reflect phase one delivery of a multiphase project or delivery of the largest phase of a project. Additional information about phased delivery will be added soon.
