Electric Vehicle Charging
The purpose of the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure on PCC campuses is to support the institution’s electric fleet vehicles and provide the campus community access to charging stations. This initiative aims to promote campus sustainability. It’s important to note that the charging stations are supplementary and not intended to be the primary source of vehicle charging for campus community members.
