When parking on the UC Davis campus, electric vehicles are required to display a valid campus parking permit and may park in a space where the permit is honored. Electric vehicles may also utilize spaces that are designated for electric vehicle charging at various locations around campus (please see permit requirements and restrictions below). These spaces provide access for charging purposes only, up to the posted time limit. Please be courteous to other electric vehicle drivers and do not unplug vehicles without the owner’s express consent. Transportation Services (TAPS) requests that you return the cord to the charging station when finished.
Electric vehicles charging at designated charging stations or electrical outlets on the main UC Davis campus are required to display an appropriate permit. An ELEC decal must be purchased (Effective July 1, 2019, the cost is $10/mo) from the TAPS office and applied to one of the following valid UC Davis permits:
ELEC decals are not required for use on the following permits:
ELEC decals must be purchased using the same payment method (payroll deduction, credit card, etc.) and with the same expiration date as the permit it is applied to. goClub members may purchase a decal for their complimentary 24-use GCC/GCA permit for a flat fee of $10. To obtain an ELEC decal for a current permit, please come in to the TAPS office during our regular business hours with the permit the decal will be used on. Drivers who wish to utilize charging stations/spaces at the UC Davis Medical Center may contact the UCDMC Parking & Transportation Services Office for restrictions and access requirements.
TAPS remains committed to supporting commuters who choose green commute alternatives. Although electricity for vehicle charging has historically been provided at no cost to drivers, establishment of this new charging rate is necessary to comply with new tax laws (Unrelated Business Income Tax) and to help recover some of the costs associated with TAPS providing electricity to our EV customers.
