How to pay

The charging stations are managed by EV charging network ChargePoint:

The app lets customers see what stations are available in real time and alerts them when their charging is complete.

You can pay with tap-to-pay credit or debit cards or digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay. You cannot pay on-site with cash or an older, non-contactless-style credit card. ChargePoint requires a payment method to be entered during the app setup.

ChargePoint Customer Support: 1-888-758-4389.

How to charge your vehicle

Start your charge three ways:

  1. Tap your phone on the station while signed in to the ChargePoint app.
  2. Tap your ChargePoint card on the station.
  3. Tap the orange “Start Charge” button on the station details page of the mobile app.

Penn State Health leadership and the Facilities Department continue to evaluate opportunities to install additional electric vehicle charging stations throughout the health system.
