There are now 100 EV charging ports on the Pittsburgh campus

Pitt is charging ahead on a key sustainability goal of expanding access to electric vehicle (EV) chargers. Last month the University reached 100 total EV charging ports on the Pittsburgh campus.

Pitt added 22 ports during the 2026 fiscal year, building on the campus’ existing network. Those include eight at Fifth and Halket, two at BioForge and four at the Information Sciences Building in the LS Garage. The ports are Level 2 chargers, which run on 240-volt power and typically add 20 to 40 miles of range per hour.

The new additions count toward a Pitt Sustainability Plan goal of installing 50 new charging plugs in existing facilities between 2025 and 2030. Pitt has installed 20 so far, putting it nearly halfway to the target with several years to spare.

All of the newest ports are publicly available except for those in the LS garage, which are only available to leaseholders. Six more ports are planned for the Sutherland lot in fiscal year 2027.
