Maroon, Silver and Green: University of Montana Installs First Fleet of EV Charging Stations

The University of Montana is leading the charge to expand access to electric vehicle infrastructure in western Montana.

UM recently installed four level II dual-port ChargePoint electric vehicle charging stations on campus. The EV charging stations are funded in part by “Charge Your Ride,” a Montana Department of Environmental Quality program.

“Over the next few years, our goal is to add more stations to campus, including in our facilities compound and at the residence halls,” said Eva Rocke, UM’s sustainability director. “This grant is a game-changer for us as we become one of the only college campuses in the region to install high-quality EV charging stations. Hopefully adding a few more stations to those that already exist in Missoula will make it that much easier to own and drive an EV.”
