Setting Up Connections in the ChargePoint App
Before you can begin charging, campus members must first register with Parking & Transportation and be verified to receive the discounted campus pricing. Once verified, an email will be sent with a “connection” access code. University stations require campus members to establish a “connection” with ChargePoint to begin using the chargers. Follow the following instructions to connect for access to EV charging stations on campus:
- Sign up for ChargePoint or log in to your account in the app.
- To connect to SFSU as a campus member, open the main menu, then click “Account.”
- Click “Connections.”
- Enter the connection access code provided by Parking & Transportation then click “Apply”.
- Enter required information, accept terms and conditions, and click Submit Request.
- You will receive an email notification that your request was approved.
- Once you’re approved, you’ll be able to start a charge and have visibility to university stations on campus in the ChargePoint mobile app.
SFSU EV Charging Station Regulations

- EVCS parking spaces should only be used when charging a vehicle. Users should be considerate of the needs of fellow campus members and move their vehicle to another parking spot once their vehicle is fully charged. Sharing EVCS allows multiple users to charge their vehicles during the day. The university reserves the right to impose fees for idle time when hooked up to an EVCS.
